…a thief, but I just couldn’t take it.

…a baker, but I couldn’t raise the dough.

…a professor, but I didn’t have the class

…an optometrist, but I just couldn’t see it – and I didn’t want to make a spectacle of myself.

…a dentist, but I couldn’t stand the daily grind.

…a watchmaker, but I didn’t have the hands for it.

…a plumber, but my plans went down the drain

…a truck driver, but I was too young to shift for myself.

…a strip tease artist, but I just couldn’t bare it.

…a telephone operator, but it wasn’t my line.

…a mail carrier, but it wasn’t my bag.

…a photographer, but nothing developed.
