Yet Another Possible Career Choice

I like to keep my options open. Even though I'm an IT professional at the moment, and have been in the last seven years, I have always allowed the possibility of other career tracks in my mind. For example, possible options if I ever get sick and tired of computers include: Durex or Trojan product tester, Sleep Number Bed tester, wine taster, porn star, doctor (specializing in gynecology), food critic, or travel reporter.

Well, after reading a news report yesterday from CNN Asia, I think I can expand my list of possible career tracks to include space astronaut. The only reason why I never aspired to become an astronaut other than the fact that I failed horribly with my physics major in college was because I heard food choices in space suck. I mean, have you ever tried one of those space ice creams that astronauts eat? I'd much rather lick your kitty's little poop hole while she's got the runs! [Okay, maybe not that bad, but the space ice cream is pretty close.]

Now, I can consider becoming an astronaut because according to CNN Asia's report, after a couple years of research, Korean food will be on the menu in space! If there are no Asian foods in Chicago, I will die of suicide if I have to eat American or Russian food day in and out. But now, there's Kimchi! I better go back to Physics school soon if I want to become an astronaut.
