    How about gainfully employed? Or is that bar too high these days?

    What do you want to be when you grow up?

    I just want to be alive.

    Don’t sweat it, chances are you will have 3 or 4 careers during your lifetime. The only thing that matters is at the end can you say, “This was my life with which I am well pleased.”

    Biologists want to be chemists. Chemists want to be physicists. Physicists want to be mathematicians. Mathematicians want to be philosophers.

    Philosophers want to be employed.

    (Alternate ending: Philosophers want to know if you want fries with that.)

    I used to write “dead” on questions like that. But it was the 70s, so nobody cared.
