Feminist Law Prof Kathy Bergin is playing the”what if”game over at The Faculty Lounge, and she has tagged me. The question that she has asked is:”So what would it be? What if money were no object? What if your kids, your partner, your loved ones would follow you? If you weren’t a law prof:what’s the next best thing?”
When I was on our Appointments Committee a few years ago, we played the”what if”game at dinner one night after a long day of interviewing at the meat market. My answer then is the same as it is now:and, unfortunately, it’s not nearly as selfless as Kathy’s choice of Doctors Without Borders. At the risk of sounding too stereotypically gay, my dream job would be working as a pastry chef. I love to cook, and I particularly love to bake. If I had the time, I would really like to learn how to turn food into art, which is how I see working with pastry and making desserts. It might not save anyone’s lives, but it certainly can brighten up someone’s day!
In the spirit of the game, I tag Feminist Law Profs Bridget Crawford and Ann Bartow as well as Tax Prof Paul Caron. What are your dream jobs?
