This is the coolest thing I've heard of recently: a website called Vocationvacations.com.

It's a site for people who want to try out new careers. You can dip your foot in the pool without actually making a life-change. The idea is that you pick one of the available careers and plunk down several hundred bucks, then you get to try it out for a few days. You go to some part of the country where someone in that line of work lets you do it.

Some sample available careers they have are:

- Alpaca Farmer
- Bed & Breakfast Owner
- Dog Trainer
- Hot Rod Manufacturer
- Martial Arts School Owner
- Model
- Private Investigator
- Wine Sommelier

While some of those sound pretty cool, I noticed they don't have any of the fields I'd like to try out, like

- Sniper
- Corrupt Cop
- Neurosurgeon
- Drug Lord
- Bank Robber and/or Getaway Driver
- Nuclear Submarine Captain
- Hitman/Assassin
- Karl Rove
- Jumbo Jet Pilot
- Jewel Thief
- Roman Emperor

It would be quite something to put the toga on and order entire cities burned. All the while knowing that come next Monday, you're gonna have to go back to Manhattan and pay your Con Ed bill like everyone else.
