Let’s get down to business
Now that I've started intermediate school, I'm not a young primary kid anymore. In only a few years I'll be able to get a job. Which will be handy for buying all those expensive toys I'd like, or that even more expensive Playstation 5 which I've asked for and Mum and Dad have refused to buy.
But what will I do for a job? Will it be my dream job of paleontologist? Or a games designer, since I spend so much time on Roblox and Minecraft? Or maybe something else. Maybe there are clues for what me and William could be in the future from how we are today.
A good job for me could be something that involves researching, finding and collecting things. I definitely have the collector gene, like Dad. My Star Wars obsession is pretty well known in our family. For example, here I am at a sci-fi collectibles event, standing next to R2D2, wearing my Darth Vader t-shirt, on my way to buy a Darth Maul figurine. If I had Star Wars undies, you can bet I’d be wearing them too.
Maybe it could be something more practical, like designing or building things. William and I have made some pretty amazing forts over the years, including fully covered forts and some open-air “Funtime Areas”. I'm not sure if they make buildings like this, but they should. They're much more interesting-looking than the places I've seen Mum work in.
How about William though? A couple of years ago I had some ideas about what William could do for a job, but he's grown up a bit since then. He’s pretty nimble and can rolly-polly his way across the floor really well, all the way from one side of the lounge to the other. So maybe a gymnast or some sort of job in a circus.
Waaaaaaay back when I was just two, I had a few different ideas about what I might do for work. Top of the list was something to do with animals, mostly because as a baby I was constantly cuddling (or throttling - sometimes a mixture of both) our cats. We used to have three cats, but now there's only Bailey. Hopefully that's a coincidence.
Anyway, I've still got plenty of time to decide. I'm happy to leave Mum and Dad with all this working nonsense for now. Me, I'm off to go do some gaming and eat snacks...
