I would love to be a writer or a teacher of English literature. Neither of which I feel qualified to do as I'm pretty pitifully educated. I didn't finish high school (received my GED) and attended two years of community college. I feel as though I received the vast majority of my scattered knowledge from reading books. And I'm a little too old and strapped down to pursue anything like that now. So I'll just continue reading and working at tedious office jobs until I drop dead.
