My Hero Has a Job!

Okay, I've decided that Michael is a . . .

History Professor (thanks Jan).

I think this will fit the opposites thing in a way. She's a reporter who's only concerned with the here and now. His concern is the past (in more ways than one). She's Type A and drives a Buick. He's relaxed and rides a Harley, etc. There are a lot of conflicts in the story, so it's probably okay that their careers don't necessarily clash, but they are opposites.

Another reason I liked this idea is because I love nerds, but I love the bad boys too--it's a good combo.

Finally, I chose this job for him because I'll be able to relate to Michael more deeply. Dh and I have been seriously talking about me returning for my graduate degree so that I can teach at the college level (if I can overcome my horrible stage fright). If I do pursue it, it will probably be to teach British History. So, Michael will be a man who's truly after my own heart--although, I think I'll have him teach American History instead (men on Harley's won't want to discuss the "men in tights" period). LOL.

Okay, now that you've all helped me, do you have any "sticking points" with your own stories? I'd love to help you too! :)
