What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"My parents had bought me an airplane that came with a flight attendant Barbie but no pilot so I made her the pilot instead. Sometimes my Barbies were doctors, teachers, housewives or students."

What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"From what I remember my Barbies never had a job, they were always house wives with kids and about 14 pets. Ken was the bread winner, but I do recall one or two Barbies being the teacher or a vet, but they never had families"
