Ah, the internet. What a fascinating place it is. I know I've said it before, but ten years ago did we really imagine it to be the teeming cesspool it's become?

I ran across this bold statement on a messageboard tonight: "I would love to someday be a secretary or a teacher."

Just let that sink in for a moment.

Okay, so, these two jobs are so incredibly different from each other, how could one aspire to be both of these simultaneously? Then again, I didn't realize that secretary was a job one would ever aspire to. And get in the twenty-first century, lady. It's administrative assistant now.

Now, teaching is a position I respect and admire, and I speak from experience. As someone who just couldn't cut it in the education field, I'm here to tell you it's no small task. I doubt someone who lumps the profession in with that of secretary is going to cut it either. Hey, I could be wrong. I don't know this person. However, why do I think she's going to realize her dream of being secretary one day?
