I wish i could do these kind of things its hard being painfully shy

Working with kids is fun (and stressful) i enjoy when all the little kids want me to sit next to them or help them make things in craft. Its a worry thru with supervision it only takes a second and a child could be injured.

If you ever develop interests that take money to pursue, you definately won't like this job.

But who am I to judge? I'm currently one too! Enjoy its benefits while you have the chance!

Lego builder-I used to play with my brother's Legos growing up.
Wine tasting

I've decided that I'm going to apply to be a monster at the Queen Mary's "Shipwreck" thing next October as it would be fun to scare the cr@p out of people. Some of the people who do the makeup also work for Hollywood. Even if I wore a mask the whole time, I think that would be a lot of fun.

A sinecure. I want to get money for only supposedly doing something.

If that is not possible, maybe trucker. Short-range trucker, I don't like to travel. :)

I'd like to be a guru of a sect worshipping god looking like toilet bowl. We'd prosecute people for desecrating our object of cult, covering it with feces. I'd be filthy rich because people would have to pay damages to us.

Just a job would be good right now.

Working on Mythbusters would be fun, but not as a builder because I can't make things. I guess I'd have to be a runner or something. On one episode, Jamie tells the lady (was it Christine?) off for ruining one of his screws and he says "Think before you act" in a very teachery way. I'm too sensitive and would have got very upset if he'd said it to me. Despite this, I'd still love to work with him. i could restock his little workstations and make sure that the drills are charged up.

I've always wanted to work with wood, even though i have no talent for it.

I'd like to grow vegetables and rear chickens and have a tiny little shop. Maybe I'd do honey too.

I'm trying to be a librarian right now but I can't even get voluntary work. It's like they can sense my AS from 100 paces.

I would just like to find a job that found the revolving door of things that I am interested in as interesting as I do.

I am a great little researcher.

I also wouldn't mind and have often dreamed of owning a little shop. I'm a pretty good seamstress and do lots of things with beads and spangles and sequins that are beautiful. But I usually put so much work into them that I end up wearing them myself and never able to let them go!

So something involving sewing or reading would be good. A shop with little crafts that follow my current interests. It takes me a long time to do some of my projects though and the time would never balance out the money unfortuneately. Unless they invent a machine that does sequins easier or beading easier. Someone on here invent that machine and we'll go into business together!
