I am envious of the Economist and other reviewers

Today I listened to an audio on the Economist’s web site in which they commented on the books the recieve to review from around the globe.
Now I am picturing myself in a room surrounded by books. I have never wanted to be like anybody else or wanted something because someone else has it but the envy I feel towards the economist has me frizzled. Now I am obsessively wondering whether or not that I am an envious person who want someone else’s life, but whose life do I want? whose other job do I want?

I have always gotten along with others not because I see myself in them or because of shared interest but because I need human interaction (which is difficult to admit because I am a people watcher).

I think I would love a job that gives me an opportunity to travel around the world experiencing different culture, allowing me the opportunity to work with other great minds and find solutions to the issues like health care, women’s right and equality.
I want a career that give me enough money to be able to take a tour of the world, maybe I will get to share the title of citizen of the planet with a singer who shall remain nameless.

I guess I am jealous of people who have seen the world, read for a living, and get to take a stab at solving the worlds problems.

Well, I better start setting goals for myself.
