Remember the show, The Pretender?

Gentle Tiger · 08-10-2010, 11:14 PM

So I was watching the television series, The Pretender thanks to Netflix. Every week Jarod would read some books, study an occupation and then go and be that profession.

What if it were that easy in real life? You could upload data like in the Matrix or read and study like Jarod and then change profession on a whim. What would you be?

Last week I wanted to be an architect. This week I'd be a cardiovascular surgeon. What would you be?

I absolutely LOVED that show!

I would try everything I could think of at least once. I'm indecisive that way. Or greedy.

So which one(s) would you be this week? You can pick new ones everyday if you want to.

This week, I'd be a mover, to help make sure I pack everything the best possible way. Next week, I'd be a professional race car driver, so I could get down to Austin super fast.

I'd be a travel writer who reviewed resorts, luxury spas, five star hotels...you get the picture.
