n, don't sell out for the job of your dreams...
instead of "house-husband" you could become a domestic god, manufacturing wonderful italian delicacies a la under the tuscan sun, wearing all black (or ideally, linen pants, long hair and no shirt) as you brood by day and make wild love to the lovely m. all night. then, when you land a modest but promising journalist job which launches you into the work force but working for a charming-but-arrogant-hugh-grant-type boss who just wants to sleep with you and doesn't recognize your true potential, you spin out of control into a wild alcoholic binge, from which you conveniently recover smartly enough to write a fascinating novel/screenplay about it. hopefully this will also get you a guest slot with mo rocca on some end-of-the-year vh1 special.

Hmmm... Why does every piece of career advice I receive always involve Hugh Grant, or a Hugh Grant type, wanting to sleep with me? Don't you people know that there would be way too much boyish charm in that cocktail?
