Modern careers like Starfleet Officer

[JDobbs]

Absolutely! Just as if we were to look at a painting together. Your interpretation would be different than mine. One of the things that make Star Trek so appealing to a broad range of people! There is always a place for you and a purpose for you to serve!

Things on the cutting edge, opening new understanding. Jobs in exotic or dangerous locales.

Small appliance repair (replicators).
Janitorial (scrubbing plasma conduits).
Professional hand holder (psych counselor).

But still pushing the boundaries. Seeing new things on shore leave, encountering dangerous intruders, etc. Unfortunately, most of the "grunts" would likely die as a result.

"Wanted: one person to obey the prime directive. People name James Kirk need not apply."

I've often tried to imagine my job in the context of a Star Trek episode. Believing that somehow my actions fit into the bigger picture of the story line. It makes the workday go by faster if you just use a little imagination. Make believe isn't something that we should stop doing as we grow older. It's always healthy to jog the mind a bit.

Oh that would be a horror story for me.

<Communicator chirps>
Me: <sitting in the lowest deck of the Enterprise> Hello IT.
Picard: The holodeck has gone haywire and is turning evil again.
Me: Did you try turning it off and on again?
Picard: That seems to have worked. Also while I have you on the line I need another Padd. I want to read another book.
Me: you know a Padd can store like 80 quintillion bytes of information and can store more than one book?
Picard: No i think I need another Padd.
Me: Sigh. I'll send one right up.
