I've never really had any idea what I wanted to do with my education. Politics was the only thing that really interested me that was anything like a viable career choice, but I don't know how long I could put up with my opponents being as they are in a public forum. But I've recently discovered the sheer joy of simply pushing a swing, or giving little kids rides on my back. I tell you, it's like nothing else.
And so, pediatrics. I like kids. It's as simple as that. And thus I get to spend my career in a cheerily-decorated office filled with cute little persons, and in the more immediate future I eliminate any further anxiety about choosing a major. I got it made.

Anyway, if you want to look after kids, then you have to find out what kids like. Which means all the shite that's on Toon Disney (with the exception of Weekenders), the so-so stuff on Nick, and then the sheer orgasmic joy of any show on Cartoon Network that has a blond girl with her hair in bunches. Yes.
You'd be surprised how far you can take "got your nose" too. And do "gimmie 5", but on the fifth go, grab their hand, and say "got your hand" while shaking it. I've yet to find a kid who doesn't love that.
Er, anyway. Sports. Football. Germany, HA!
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Er, wait a minute, pediatric...medicine? Because while you would be doing important, necessary, and incredibly good work, the children you would be dealing with would not be smiling and sweet. Not when you see them, anyway.

And you wouldn't be pushing their swings and giving them piggy-back rides. You'd be depressing their tongues and giving them vaccinations. And they'd be very very unhappy w/ you for it.
Could be worse, though. You could have decided to get a career in pedophilia...

If it weren't for the fact that I actually talk with Jeff over ICQ from time to time, I'd be thoroughly convinced that the two of them were different sides to the same person.
Anyway, pediatric medicine is no cup of cigars. You might see smiling kids when parents are just bringing their tots in for a check-up, but most parents I know only bring their rugrats in when they are sick. Then you have to deal with other people's kids in the terrible twos, trying to prove that you aren't going to get their nose, and lie to them about taking their temperatures rectally. It can be a fun job; it can be a rewarding job. However, it's not a job that I would like to tackle.
Of course, if you like interesting colors, kids can produce some stunning example of colorful bodily fluids.

Kids wouldn't be the problem. It would be the parents.
"My little Johnny's sick"
"That's because you keep letting him eat paste"
"Fuck you! Don't you fucking tell me how to raise my kids! Fucking idiot!"
"Er, sorry. Can can you tell little Johnny to stop pissing over my work?"
"Fuck off! He can do whatever he fucking well likes! Arse!"
You get the idea. Kids are wonderful. Parents are scum.

Unfortunately, all too often for the poor children, the "Pedophilia for Fun and Profit" people actually figure out "stage two."

While desperatly trying to maintain the "paedophillia can make funny jokes" rather than "paedophillia is bad and evil", I have to say that I have no idea how it can be used to make a profit.

I'm was watching the news when I posted that. They had a follow-up to a story a couple weeks ago about a group of men who had been arrested for making, selling, and distributing child pornography. Apparently, they were doing pretty well business-wise. The kicker? These five men were all part of a search group that helps in the searches for missing children.
