When I Grow Up… Oh Wait: The Dream Jobs We Never Got
Podcast: Talk Shit and LaughPublished On: Sun Oct 26 2025
Description: Jobs We Never Had (But Would Totally Crush) Some people follow a straight career path. But a guy on the plane next to Sarah (after several drinks) got her thinking about all the jobs she should've ... would've ... could've. We had wildly specific dream jobs we never even tried—and we're still thinking about them. In this episode, we reveal: The top-tier jobs we really wanted (and why we would've been amazing at them) Why 1990s hacking felt like a ✨vibe✨ even when all we really knew was AOL How Sarah is still in her "author arc," and why naming nail polish colors is still on the vision board Why Michele always chose "secret agent" or "fashion mogul" in MASH The power of typing fast, and how it made us feel like unstoppable 12-year-olds with jobs And what we think all those old dreams were really about This one's nostalgic, hilarious, and lowkey validating. Because adulting? Weird. And honoring who you were before the "shoulds" kicked in? Even better. Listen if: You've ever switched careers, chased a weird dream, or still sorta think you'd slay as a forensic psychologist.
