| | |  Excerpts from JKR interview with Girlguiding Scotland
A few days ago it was revealed that JK was one of one hundred inspirational women to be interviewed by Girlguiding Scotland. The interviews are designed to encourage girls to 'aim higher' after shocking poll results found the following; Quote:
Teenage girls revealed that 63% would rather be a topless model than a doctor or a nurse. A quarter thought lap dancing was a good profession, but only 3% aspired to be teachers. The glamour model Jordan was a role model for more 15- to 19-year-olds than the Harry Potter author.
Excerpts from Rowling's interview have been published by The Sunday Times. Of her mother, Jo says; Quote:
“She was the one who read to us when we were little, filled the house with books, loved discussing her favourite novels and never sat down without something to read, so I would have to say (she gave me) a love of literature,” says Rowling, who has two daughters, Jessica, 12, and one-year-old Mackenzie. “However, she also taught me how to make a decent Yorkshire pudding.”
JK also talks briefly about an experience as a teacher; Quote:
“I remember the laughs I had with my favourite classes. One of my best memories is being presented with flowers by 4F of St David’s in Dalkeith after our last lesson together. Neither before nor since have flowers meant so much to me, and if you’d met 4F, you’d know why.”
The full interview will be published on May 1st.

eww gross. Those percent are so wrong. Well they are probably right but they are not so nice. Yuck. Lap dancing? Oh yeah! Thats what I want MY profession to be. NOT. But I guess not many people have much of a choice  . But I'm following JK's route and becoming a teacher...but not an English or literature teacher...I perfer History 
Ohhhh pudding. She's making me hungry!

Those stats are actually quite frighting! Why on earth would you want to be a topless model and find the real life barbie (Jordan) a role model?

Well that was a little disturbing reading that girls much rather be topless models than nurses or Dr.'s I am just glad that there are role models out there like JK that little girls who do have dreams and aspirations can look up to.

What is wrong with people theses days? Maybe the government should be doing something about this. Who did they interview anyways? I would rather be a doctor.
When I was young, and even now, everything was about getting my fairy tale happy ending. What about "topless model", stripper in my opinion, says Happy Ending?
CRAZY!

Women are not stupid. They are very intelligent! A lot of girls prove that but most just prove how stupid someone can become when they dont have a dream............ How pathetic.
 How pathetic can you get??? Girls these days need to have an aim for them – a lifetime goal which they strive to achieve? Dim-witted is right. Topless models??? Excuse Me. This is absolute stupidity. * *
