How Does One Become?

I have random thoughts throughout the day, it's a frequent occurrence.

Today I thought about how some people end up in the jobs that they do. I saw a receptionist today that clearly had some past in burlesque shows. I wondered how she ended up as a receptionist. It was obvious that she still styled herself in a retro seductive way (is that even a word? am I passing judgement? I guess so.)

Then as I was making a sandwich after a quick run, I thought about how people would work in the Food, Drugs and Administration Department. Well first I thought, "I wonder who inspected the turkey meat?" Then it went to, "it would be a pleasant job to just inspect food and come across unique fruits. Do they just throw those food away? Well that sure is a waste." Finally I came across the original thought about how one would end up working at the FDA anyway. Or even a food chemist or a pesticide specialist. Maybe there's some easy answers to all of these. Oh curiosity, you sure are a double edged sword.

I would like to have friends that are in various jobs so that I may be able to find the answers to some of my questions one day.. I mean how does one just wake up and decide they're going to be window washers??
