generally, i don’t read the strange little blurbs on msn careers that pops up everday when i check my hotmail account, but the prospect of finding out what the “10 sexiest careers you never thought of” was irresistible…in other words, i had nothing better to do. so i opened it and saw the #2 sexiest career…barista..?!
2. Baristas
If you’re one of those coffee drinkers who don’t speak to anyone and whom nobody wants to speak to until you’ve had your morning cup, is any occupation more attractive than barista? Before the sun rises, baristas are hard at work and ready to serve you with a smile. They understand your special ordering language and don a uniform, even if it consists of only casual clothes with an apron and cap. And no cologne or perfume they buy will ever be more alluring than the aroma of coffee that blankets them even after they leave work.
now, i appreciate the alleged sex-appeal my job apparently exudes, however, i think the sexual tension is a bit of a mix-up with the numbing anticipation of getting a fix. being sandwiched between administrative assistants and hairstylists and two rungs above DJs is incredibly flattering as unglamorous as the coffee-slinging biz is.
