I know I'll never be a construction worker (afraid of heights), or work in the circus (terrified of clowns). Prospects are dimming for me to become a rock star, professional basketball player or French attache.
I feel if I did do a career switch, there are two jobs I know I could do, and do very well.
1. Taco Bell: Product development specialist
Every menu item and new product launch seems to consist of various combinations of the following: beans, cheese, meat, rice and something to wrap it up with - either crunchy, soft or both. Add a "wild-card" element - something "spicy", a sauce, sour cream, guacamole, etc.. Come up with a catchy name then place ads on shows that dudes watch from their couch (sports, extreme midget wrestling, repeats of "Roadhouse")...and count the money.
Example: The "Loco Taco": Chicken, beans, rice wrapped in a flour tortilla with a side of spicy cheese sauce.
2. High-end apartment community namer
Similar in job skills as the Taco Bell PDS, this position seems to require naming communities something serene, using combinations of words that make someone living in a suburb feel like they're living by the Caribbean.
Example of words to use: (throw in an "at" or "on" or a "by" to make them flow)
Nautical/nature: Lake, Water, Bay, Breeze, Shore, Glen, Cove, Woods, River, Meadows, Oak
Peaceful words: Renaissance, Rolling, Shady, Oasis
Fancypants names: Ashton, Chamberlain, Worthington
Bay Oasis at Glen Cove
Chamberlain Woods by River Oak
Rolling Meadows on Bayshore.

The same process to name high-end apartment communities can also be used to name Chicago suburbs.
