Originally Posted By Ursula 1. fail in business and be bankrupt or fail in marriage and be divorced? Fail in business. You can get another job, but I don't want another husband. I love the one I have. 2. delivery babies or pizza? Babies! Less calories. 3. take care of animals or people? People. I love animals, but I cry when they are hurt because they don't understand why they hurt. 4. work for the FBI or NASA? NASA! Fly me to the moon! 5. be a dentist or dress designer? Dress Designer. I already design handbags in my head. 6. be a cartoonist or sports columnist? Kar2oonist! 7. be a police officer or fire fighter? Fire Fighter. I would be really bad at domestic violence calls. Many abusive husbands would mysteriously end up with gunshot wounds in their backs or will accidentally fall on a very sharp knife around me. 8. receive daily encouragement from your boss or a 5% raise? 5% raise. My current boss isn't very good at encouragement but I'm surviving. (Having come from a place of 100% encouragement). 9. work for a pleasant boss or for yourself? Pleasant boss. I am bad at steering my own ship. We always end up at Macy's for some reason when I do. 10. work at a job that is challenging or one that is easy? I've had both. Actually, it is the same job. I just evolved. I'd take either, frankly. Both are fun. 11. be a farmer or a politician? Politician. Can you imagine the shirts they would make of me on Cafe Press? 12. have a high-paying job and travel 50% of the the time or an average-paying job and no travel? High-paying job with travel. 13. be highly educated or highly successful? Edumacated. 14. play more or accomplish more? Play more. It is more fun. And when I'm on my deathbed, I think I'd rather have been to the Galapagos Islands over designing it an award-winning brochure.

Deliver other people's babies, lol. 3. take care of animals or people? I like doing both, but probably animals. Sometimes I have a better grasp of what is bothering them. 4. work for the FBI or NASA? NASA, hands down. I love seeing science put into action. 5. be a dentist or dress designer? Can I say "neither"? 6. be a cartoonist or sports columnist? Sports columnist, baseball preferred. 7. be a police officer or fire fighter? Fire fighter. 8. receive daily encouragement from your boss or a 5% raise? 5% raise. 9. work for a pleasant boss or for yourself? Myself 10. work at a job that is challenging or one that is easy? I've done both. I prefer the challenging job, just not to have a boss who is second guessing me and just leaves me alone to solve the problems. 11. be a farmer or a politician? Politician. I'd rather deal with unpredictable people than unpredictable weather or natural disasters. 12. have a high-paying job and travel 50% of the the time or an average-paying job and no travel? The first. I love to travel 13. be highly educated or highly successful? Highly educated. 14. play more or accomplish more? Accomplish more. Well, taking this little survey confirms that I have a type A personality ;-)

When you can meet all of your need and some of your wants, that's good! Would you rather... 1. fail in business and be bankrupt or fail in marriage and be divorced? Buisness! Bankrupt would be awful, but way better than divorced. 2. delivery babies or pizza? I'm with beamerdog--someone else's babies. Especially if I was part of a team. 3. take care of animals or people? People 4. work for the FBI or NASA? NASA 5. be a dentist or dress designer? Dress Designer 6. be a cartoonist or sports columnist? Sports Columnist 7. be a police officer or fire fighter? This is the one that I want to say neither to, but fire fighter I suppose... 8. receive daily encouragement from your boss or a 5% raise? Daily Encouragement--I'm such a modern girl 9. work for a pleasant boss or for yourself? Pleasant boss, I don't have enough drive 10. work at a job that is challenging or one that is easy? Right now I basically have both, my non-paid job is challanging, my paid job is easy. I say it doesn't matter, I'd just like to work at a job that I loved. 11. be a farmer or a politician? Farmer, but this is another hard one 12. have a high-paying job and travel 50% of the the time or an average-paying job and no travel? Hmmm.... If I had no kids at home I'd take the travel anytime, even if the pay was merely adaquate. However, with kids at home, if I had to work for pay I'd rather be at home every night. 13. be highly educated or highly successful? Highly sucessful, I can always educate myself 14. play more or accomplish more? Both? Okay, fine, I wish I would play less and accomplish more...

Again, if I were single and childless, this answer would be different for me. 13. be highly educated or highly successful? highly educated. Success comes and goes. 14. play more or accomplish more? play. But I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy it if I hadn't accomplished a bunch of stuff beforehand.
