My sister and my nephew called and suggested some new career choices. They are deliberately off-the-wall.
- Weaver. This is my sister’s suggestion (apparently I remind her of someone who is a weaver). How do people make a living doing a craft? I actually like this suggestion.
- Deep-sea fisherman. This is my nephew’s suggestion (which he acknowledged has no future in the plains of South Dakota). I love this suggestion for what it says about who he thinks I am. He actually could see me doing this. How cool. I endeavor to never prove him wrong!
- Doggy daycare. This is a business I always thought would be fun, but it has no viability in a small town. I think I would have one customer. I used to think, while taking care of my senior dog, that I could start a nursing home for dogs (since I believe far too many dogs are put down while they still have some good life left). When we had to put our dog down, though, I realized how difficult such an endeavor truly would be.
