I just talked to a 12 year old girl who wants to be a forensic anthropologist. I explained to her that she should not expect to be running all around the country with a hot FBI agent. I was amused
Dream killer.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know several forensic anthropologists. Actually, they are professors who do skeleton analysis for extra $$. And professional cred. They both seemed to love their jobs, though.ETA: And I've heard it's hard to find a hot Fibbie...it's kind of the IBM of law enforcement. Really hidebound, old-fashioned culture... But maybe more local po-lice become writers, right?

I didn't say that it wouldn't be a great job, I'm just saying that the hot FBI agent is not guaranteed.

Like I said, have heard they are quite rare anyway. But maybe police with notebooks and bad memories of jurisdictional arguments are bitter, and ugly them up and make them boring.

Neither the hot FBI agent nor the best-selling book nor the fun co-workers nor the job that gives you all sorts of time to run around with the hot FBI agent nor ... ad infinitem is guaranteed. (yeah, I know - I'm killing your dream).

Right. You have to study really hard and become an A-list forensic anthropologist to get the hot G-man.

I'm so glad I really didn't go to law school to become Joyce Davenport. I was about her age when I wanted to.

As much as I loved Ms. Davenport, I don't think law school ever crossed my mind. I'm trying to remember what aspirations I might have had at that age but I'm coming up blank.
Which is kind of where I've ended up career-wise, so, yay? Way to follow that dream?

I wanted to be a cashier. I loved pushing the buttons. Rather like a keyboard, now that I think on it. No satisfying ka-ching of the drawer, though.
