Here's what I want to be when I grow up:

1. Go to Career Cruising.
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top twenty results.

At a glance, I don't see ANY overlap with my brother's list :)

I'm not sure where this ocean/marine business comes in, as I've always had an irrational fear of water; e.g., I get panicky when my head does underwater. Other than that aspect and with a really askance look at "Actuary" and "Market Research Analyst," I very much like my list. Which I guess I should since it's tailored to my tastes and interests.

1. Oceanographer
2. Actuary
3. Dietitian
4. Marine Biologist
5. Criminologist
6. Zoologist
7. Food Scientist
8. Brewmaster
9. Chef
10. Paleontologist
11. Director of Photography
12. Botanist
13. Family and Consumer Scientist
14. Veterinarian
15. Critic
16. Political Aide
17. Biologist
18. Market Research Analyst
19. Musician
20. Writer (haha—last one! I should be doing 19 things before the thing that I do do. Though I doubt "proposal manager" is among their professions.)

Oh, and:

21. Composer (ok, I am one, but not for a living)
22. Translator
23. Veterinary Technician
24. Taxidermist
25. Special Effects Technician

Ok, cat's out of the bag (and mounted on an Astroturf pedestal).
