A fun journaling prompt from The Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron had me writing a list of five alternate careers. I used the prompt twice, a few months apart, and here is my list in total:
- innkeeper
- studio artist
- radio broadcaster
- Broadway stage manager
- ballerina
- wedding officiant
- gardener
- children’s librarian
- restaurant hostess
- department store gown saleslady
Every single one of these seems way more hands-on and/or arts-adjacent than what I do now, and it’s such a fun list!
What are your alternate careers?
Love this post. You always make me smile. Innkeeper! Lol. I vote you be the children’s librarian for starters. 🙂
When I was thinking about going back to school, one of the career changes I considered was school librarian. I looked into it and found that today the job is mostly computers/media teacher (not to mention the content of children’s books has changed drastically since we were little readers…).
