> Makeup Artist?!?

For some reason I'm picturing you in an Asian variety show, throwing lipstick like darts at the face of a poor woman sitting in a salon chair. Sounds like the perfect job! :-)

I got to number 17 and thought "Makeup artist?!?!?!", and then scrolled down to see you had the same thought. My list looked much the same as yours (even down to my chosen profession being ranked #10. I must have missed my calling).
