[Dexter]

I made a half-serious, half-joking proclamation that if I go back to school, I'm going to learn how to do laser tattoo removal, because in about 25 years when all these little hotties are in their 50s, and their tattoo no longer looks like a gazelle jumping out of a flaming yin-yang but instead looks such as an antelope plodding in front of a subway tunnel as the 5:30 Blue Line to Franconia-Springfield makes its way out from under the Pentagon, I'm gonna be rolling in phat loot. This almost got me hit.

I, too, had once made a similar decision, with roughly equal proportions of joking and seriousness.  But then I realized they probably require some kind of medical training before you can operate the Tat-B-GonŽ laser, and I don't want to become an actual dermatologist (I don't want to have to look at people's grody-ass skin conditions), other kind of doctor (I don't want to have to look at other people's grody-ass other kind of conditions), or nurse (I don't want to...  well, you see where this is going); I just want to zap people with frickin' laser beams.  Another dream shattered, alas.

Well, you could always become a super-villain.

I have commented on the greatness of your Ben Folds line in your sig. Also can'd for the Dr. Evil reference.

I would like to become a doctor, or maybe a PA. I've seen a lot of crazy shit as an EMT, and it would be pretty rad to be an ER doc. in rural AK the PAs are pretty much like doctors anyway. However...I don't want to go back to school for another zillion years. I'm paying down $35,000 in student loans already for my degree in architecture/planning. Basically I just wish that I had toughened up and gone for pre-med when I was an undergrad.

I thought of that, but the waiting list for the supervillain program at my local university is ridiculously long and going out of state would be way too expensive.

Another option is to work your way up in an evil empire.

[jough]

I have an evil small-business right now.  We're slowly working up to Empire.

As your attorney, I advise you to watch out for potential usurpers to the throne.  This is a common problem - remember to update your insurance for this.

According to the National Laser Institute, if I'm reading this right, $1000 and 40 hours of training gets you set up to do laser tattoo removal. They're saying you could knock back $80,000 a year easily doing this. And that's today, while the number of tattoos getting done outdoes the number of tattoos coming off.

Yeah, but you got to buy the equipment from Goldfinger.

They got those $2.99 laser pointer things down at the 7-11... tape about ten of those in a convex pattern, I reckon we're in business.

Obviously this requires a reference to wicked lasers, just in case there's a soul out there who never followed one of their ads.

Doc, there's people out there who actually haven't seen Blues Brothers, for chrissake.
