TWQ: Yearly Internship

This week, TWQ (The Weekend Question) asks about where people would like to spend an internship...and asks them to use their imaginations!

List a few places you would like to be an intern for. Be practical, funny, weird or anything you like!

My answers are:

1: Cheese Taster.....I love cheese!

2: Chief Executive of my company so I can get the dead wood out...especially in my office!

3: Computer Role Playing Games Tester....all those games to enjoy.

4: Airline Steward....all those places to visit!

Now it's over to you....

I'd love to intern at the National Archives in Scotland, so I could do some more genealogy research. Alternatively, a job interning as a quiz program question researcher would be fun. Michele says hi.

Amanda said...

Is there such a thing as an intern conductor for an orchestra? Thats what I'd like to try out.

Lavender said...

Airline Steward? Captain, Im just shocked at that...I mean, wouldnt that just be so provincial after all your inter-stellar travel?

:)

kenju said...

How about wine taster - or beer taster? Or airline pilot? Or steamship captain? Or President? Or Famous Actress? LOL

Michele sent me to answer your interesting question!

utenzi said...

Michele sent me over, Captain Picard.

I'd love to spend the summer interning as a kayaking or white water rafting guide. Perfect summer for me!

True Willow said...

Hi Michele sent me! I woul love to intern for Mrs. Oprah! ; )

BreadBox said...

Michele sent me to say that I'm with Kenju on this. Although, food critic for the Michelin guide in France might work too...

I would love to be an intern at the Blue Beaver Beer Brewing Company. That would be amazing. I can just imagine being paid in beer.

craziequeen said...

I would love to intern at a Forensics lab - I am fascinated by forensics, particularly blood spatter and forensic anthropology (Bill Bass is one of my heroes).

Is that odd enough? I sound like Dexter Morgan.....

Hi Jean-Luc, Michele didn't send me, I came here all on my own! :-)

A ranger at the Gettysburg National Battlefield would be at the top of my list so that I could learn every nuance of the Park and the battles fought there.

Taste-taster at an ice cream factory might not be a bad gig either!

I would also love to intern with a good trial lawyer - not sure if I would prefer prosecution or defense, though. Maybe six months with each?

Also - thank you very, very much for adding my post to your list of Quality Posts. A girl couldn't ask for anything more than recognition by her fellow bloggers!

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Rachael Ray's assistant on her $40 a day show. And I promise not to clobber her.

I'm with you on the cheese taster...but lets make it wine and cheese :)

Wardrobe intern for The Moody Blues or Elvis Costello.

Erifia's Author said...

1. Red-Shirt on the Enterprise.
2. Sniper in the GAR.
3. Donut Filler.

4. Intern for a Publishing Company
5. One of Santa's Elves.

I could go on.

So: Here you go Captain, I think I got through this time.

In response to your question on my blog.

Nancy Wu said...

I can do an intern on Enterprise and help to guard the Chair while Captain is away.

I will be back.

Miscellaneous-Mum said...

An intern at the White House during the Clinton Administration - Monica could take all the attention and I could get about the more serious business of assuming control and, therefore, BE RULER OF THE WORLD ;) ;)

You know, I actually had my dream internship when I was in college. I worked at a nationally known radio station in Boulder, CO. I once had designs on being a dj, until I realized that you have to play whats on their - already prepared - playlist. Anyway, I did meet Tori Amos and The Barenaked Ladies (hilariously funny group of guys, btw) while I was interning, which was pretty darn cool.

FRIDAY'S CHILD said...

1) I think I would go for your #1 too. I love cheese so much that I don't even care if it triggers my migraine.
2) I would also like to be a Doctor so I could help other people who can't afford to go to one.
3) Airline Stewardess too...just like you, I would also like to see many places. They have been my long time dream. Guess too old for it now (lol)
By the way, thanks for the postcard and thanks for the visit.

Nepharia said...

Anything, huh?

1. I would want to intern at an innovative school that actually teaches kids something rather than bow to the whims of the government-mandated testing requirements -- thereby learning how to open my own :D

2. I would also be an intern as a practice body for massage therapists.

3. I would *LOVE* to intern at a tequila distillery in the Tequila region of Mexico.

Do we have to stop at 3?

Nancy Wu said...

Is it for fun or is it for real like a wish? If I write it here but i can't get to do it, will it make me a loser? :D

Better go for fun, I decide.

1. intern as Airpline service tester that I can give Marks on all plane Stewards including Captain.

2. intern to a Jedi knight that i can learn the finger waving mind tricks. :D So that i can wander in the universe without any luagguage and be a hero to whoever kind to me. {A deadly devil to others of coz)

3. intern for book publishing

craziequeen said...

Hi Jean-Luc, in addition to my earlier comment, I'd like to intern on a film set - probably shadowing the director.......just to see what happens to make the magic that is cinema.

Michele sent me this Sunday morning.

Jean-Luc Picard said...

I'm amazed at the imaginations of my blogfriends! You have such colourful views, it was a pleasure to read them. They provide a little insight into all of you, as well.

Bernie said...

Airline First Officer or Piolt for sure!!!

Here from MIchele's this evening...

susan said...

Oh this is easy

1. Chocolate taster!

2. Trainee potter

3. Behind the scenes at an art gallery, all those paintings to look at.

Anne said...

1. Excursion director for a cruise ship.
2. Backhoe operator
3. International photo journalist

good morning from Michele.

Bobkat said...

I think I would like to shadow:

1) Film director
2) Travel journalist
3) 5 star hotel and resort tester!

Michele sent me along to say hi!

Michele sent me to answer this question!

I think my internship would have to involve food of some kind...

Maybe an internship with chef Gordon Ramsay, if I could stand all his foul-mouthed language and aggressive attitude.

Or for something more sedate, I'd love to work as a pastry chef creating delicious cakes, desserts, chocolates etc. This would obviously involve lots of tasting!

Fab said...

I'd like to do an internship at a radio station. Must be fun (or stressfull?)

Or an internship on the set of a movie or series.

Maybe an internship as a taster at a cookie factory, but that would be terrible on my figure.

Hey just found this star trek wiki: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Portal:Main . Has this been around for long, cause I just stumbled on it.

Professor Xavier said...

Probably Hasbro. I'd like to see the design process for GI Joe and Marvel Legends.

MsT said...

It would have to be at a magazine or newspaper, like Rolling Stone or something. But also the Food Network would be fun - I love to cook! And an internet company such as Google or Second Life or MySpace. Great question! Hello from Michele.

Unknown said...

1. Air hostess
2. Some ultra cool club
3. Vogue
4. Apple
5. Travel journalist
6. A gourmet restaurant

this is no particular order...

Jaime said...

Seriously? I'm hoping to intern at the Folger Shakespeare Library as part of my graduate degree.

For more amusing pursuits, I'd say my top pick would be at the Lindt factory. Wherever that is. Or any Swiss chocolate factory, for that matter.

Jean-Luc Picard said...

More excellent ideas. You reminded me of some others I would have liked. A hotel & resort tester, at an art cgallery and as a cruise director.

Fab, I have come accross Memory Alpha before, and have got a few pictures from there.

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Taste tester for a chocolate company !!

Hope you are having a great week.
Take care, Meow
