Maud's Diary: What career should I have?

191 Comments

I've just realised I haven't got a clue what I want to do when I grow up.

What do you want to do when you grow up?

Phew, finally finished all my homework. Read my replies to your comments below!

Maud's diary replies: U17281534 Well met Maud. I would love to be a lawyer when I grow up. It\u2019s a bit like being a detective just with more things to do. What did Mildred and Ethel get for there score? Congrats on yours! Official Maud Spellbody: Thanks! A lawyer sounds like hard work but fun! Oh, Ethel got 99% and was so upset she demanded a recount, as usual! Meanwhile, Mildred got a very respectable 60% and was over the moon.
Maud's diary replies: U17607091: Well met Maud! I keep changing my mind about what I want to be when I am older, at the moment I am going through a phase of wanting to be a lawyer. Official Maud Spellbody: Well met. I think you\u2019re right. What you want to do when you grow up changes as you get older, so I shouldn\u2019t put all my potions in one cauldron. I\u2019ve got plenty of time to decide!
Maud's diary replies: Unicorn Kawaiixxx: Dear Maud, I am a huge fan of you and worst witch. Knowing you, I would think that you would be a really good author or nurse. You have a good way with words, confident and kind and caring. Official Maud Spellbody: Well met! I\u2019m so happy to meet a fan, especially if you think I could be someone important, like an author or nurse. I love reading books, so I bet I\u2019d love writing them! I could be a nurse too, looking after Midnight gives me lots of practice!
Maud's diary replies: U17593848: I would love to be a pilot , because I adore going on planes and also because my dad used to be one! Official Maud Spellbody: Well met! I never considered doing something my parents do! I think I got my idea for being a chef from my mum. She\u2019s a brilliant baker and always sends me treats.
Maud's diary replies: U17612205: I would like to be a music therapist. It\u2019s like a musician mixed with a psychologist. Helping people with music is tying my love of psychology with music! Official Maud Spellbody: That\u2019s a wonderful idea! Miss Bat says music can help you do anything. I\u2019m sure she meant magic, but I bet it can help people feel better too! I know I feel better after listening to my favourite songs.
Maud's diary replies: EmeraldKitty: Well met, Maud! I want to be some kind of engineer (or a witch) when I get old enough to have a job! I can do actual magic and once flew! Only a bit but I did do it! Official Maud Spellbody: Well met, EmeraldKitty. How exciting, engineering is a great career to choose. If you flew, you must be like Mildred! Are you sure you don\u2019t come from a witching family? Keep your eyes peeled, perhaps you\u2019ll see Cackle\u2019s Academy in the distance?
Maud's diary replies: U17597449: Well met. When I grow up I really want to be a vet to help save animals lives. I could make a change to many animals, including cats! Official Maud Spellbody: I could have used your help a few weeks ago when Midnight had her kittens, I was certain something was wrong with her! Now all her kittens have been adopted by the Cackle\u2019s cattery, and they\u2019ll be looked after until they can be given to new witches next year.
Maud's diary replies: U17212286: I\u2019m like you Maud, I can\u2019t decide either! I want to dive with sharks or maybe be a pop singer, hope you reply! Official Maud Spellbody: Well met! Sounds like you\u2019re torn between two paths! Felicity has the same problem, but she told me she might combine them to be a fashion journalist. She\u2019s lucky! Maybe you could sing about sharks?
