It's hard to pass judgment on a career you haven't had, but forget education, relevant experience, and interview contacts for a second. Which career do you think is cooler?

I chose politician because of the two examples you had posted for the jobs. I'd much rather be a Hillary Clinton than Oprah Winfrey! And even though politicians are mostly evil, I think good ones can actually get stuff done! Talk show hosts sit on their rear ends and talk and suggest weird books to read. But I love Hillary and hate Oprah.
1what doogirl said.
2I tend to look as Oprah as an example that everyone can obtain the American Dream if they work hard enough. I see Hillary as an example that the American Dream can be bought, paid for, and ultimately become a weight around your neck.
While both of your examples are two individuals who have had tremendous impacts on people's lives...Oprah's have been mostly unselfish but Hillary's have been a means to her own goal.
I am neither of these two individual's cheerleaders, but I'd love to think I'd choose the unselfish impacts over niceties towards a personal goal...but human nature usually takes the easier path. The means to a goal.
Humanity needs more who choose the unselfish impact.
3true, but i wouldn't exactly call oprah unselfish either
4I'd rather have Hillary Clinton's career than Oprah's any time of day.
5I'd be a talk show host only because I'm fascinated by people and their stories and I'd love to be paid to interview people like that. I think Oprah's got a really great job; she basically gets paid to do what she likes doing anyway.
6freaking NEITHER!
7I chose talk show host but more like Ellen or Bonnie Hunt. I wouldn't want to be Oprah at all. And I'd never make it in the political world, I'm too "middle of the road".
8Kim.....I want to dance with Ellen on her show! Bonnie Hunt cracks me up...I'd rather go shopping with her.
I have to say I always felt Oprah held a higher standard but over the past 5 years I have seen the content slide. When she started having Dr Phil on---it was the beginning of me not watching her show.
I think I'd rather have a root canal than watch any program with Dr Phil on it....and from his latest stats---his days are numbered.
9lol cheeky. Yep I love Ellen and Bonnie both, I'd love to hang out with them.
10I think you should wake up to a job you love doing,and can't wait to get there.You should help other people in the process. That way its a win win .Peace.
