One day last month, while riding BART back to the suburbs with my mom, we invented a game to pass the time. It dawned on me that it is the perfect meme - fun, short and personal.
Here is how to play:
If you had the opportunity to do a 1-year internship in a company or field completely unrelated to your current career or specialty, what would be your top 5 choices?
Here are mine:
1. Geologist
2. Host of a radio show on world music
3. Professional dancer
4. Work in logistics, like with DHL
5. Manager of a commercial agriculture project
We played this game last night over dinner. Rico and our friend/houseguest S. had interesting lists that overlapped somewhat with mine and my mom's original choices. Rico, my mom and I all share the desire to work with some type of highly complex logistics operation. S. and my mom both wanted to work at a fashion house.
What are your top 5 alternate career internship choices?

Love this question, Ali. I'm going to blog it tomorrow and I'll come back to tell you I did so.
By the way, we got your card on Friday last week. I tried SMSing you but it didn't go through and then I kept forgetting to email you. Thanks - it's stunning. Both of us think it's a gorgeous card.

~Stacie - Ooh, I'd definitely add gemologist as a 6th, though I kind of include it in my geologist choice. And an antique appraiser would be such fun. Do you watch Antiques Roadshow? It's one of my favorites when I'm home.
~Jenna - Glad you got it. I can't wait to see your answers.
~Masd - Yes, a full time travel writer would be such a cool job. Though, via blogs, we can sort of live out this dream job on our own. :)
