What If? Meme

By Bridget Crawford

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?
