      Three years ago I retired from teaching dance. For 35 years I had owned a dancing school, I was very blessed to spend my “working” career doing something I loved and enjoyed. I also love and enjoy my retired life. On occasion as I watch people do their jobs I think I would like to try that not as a career but for a day or two. Does anyone besides me ever think that?

      Here is the list of jobs I would like to try for a day or two:

      flight attendant
      toll booth collector
      the person who directs the planes with the flashlights
      registrar of participants at a big event like the Olympics
      usher at a Broadway show
      fund-raiser for a non-profit
      assistant to a party/event planner
      TSA agent who checks passports not the one who looks at the x-ray screen
      work in an independent book store

      A few things I noticed about these jobs:
      1. no animals
      2. no manual labor
      3. inside jobs expect for the flashlight person
      4. no food service expect for flight attendant

      “If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures. Sweep streets like Handel and Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”

      Martin Luther King, Jr.
