there's no way "secret agent" is overrated.

Porn Star cuz when I was 12 I really didn't have any idea of what porn was other than it involved naked people

yeah, has to be porn star

porn *actors* have shit jobs. actual porn *stars*, who can write their own contracts and get to make $$$, do okay.

martial arts felt too much like work to me as a kid, I mean after I saw Karate Kid of course and the sequel I was all about it and even read karate magazines but once I started Tae Kwon Do and realized it didn't involve kicking the shit out of people with shades and goofy mustaches, lost a little luster for me

being a rock star in the 60s/70s/80s woulda been awesome but I'm not particularly jealous of any rock star today

definitely feel like it's video game tester. everything i hear about that job makes it sound hellish.

I defs voted mobster. It's too dangerous, and you don't really get to look like a melted insaniac. Chester Gould lied!

When I was 12 I was convinced I was going to become the world's youngest syndicated cartoonist. I was writing a comic called Quack Benny which stole Jack Benny jokes and characters but with cartoon ducks instead of living humans. Which is probably an overrated job.

would read tbh
