This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to share the top ten characters whose jobs I wish I had. It’s a fun topic, but I admit I had to go back to Goodreads to come up with enough answers to finish this week’s list.
If I didn’t develop educational materials, I might want to be:
- Bandette, master thief and righter of wrongs (the Bandette series by Paul Tobin and Colleen Hoover)
- Thursday Next, literary detective (the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde)
- Phoebe, tv script writer (Red Letter Days by Sarah-Jane Stratford
- Dani Brown, women’s studies professor (Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert)
- Phryne Fisher, private investigator (the Phyrne Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood)
- Nina Hill, bookseller (The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Alli Waxman)
- Tuesday Mooney, philanthropy leads researcher (Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Rannicula)
- Kate, local journalist (The Lido by Libby Page)
- Lola Woodby, retrieval specialist (the Discreet Retrieval Agency series by Maia Chance)
- Vianne Rocher, chocolatier (Chocolat by Joanne Harris)
How about you? Are there characters from your reading whose career paths you envy for one reason or another?
I’d also love to be a tv script writer!

Hmmmmm, the bar is set very very low. Hahaha.After being stressed beyond belief as the years went by as a nurse, any job would have to have absolutely no chance that any error could result in disaster.
Watching the sad movie Nomadland, I did say to my husband, I could be factory worker. I swear. My grandma worked at candy factory in chicago. Peerless Maid. She said it was the most fun at work she ever had because they were all young irish immigrants and they had fun. She lost 2 diamonds (very small) in the time she worked there. Someone had a very fancy candy without their knowing. !
Yes, Thursday Next! That would be so cool!
