I love to hear about people with awesome job titles and while researching some of these job titles I came across Lilly Martinez.
SENIOR DESIGN MANAGER, BARBIE Los Angeles, CA
Unofficial job description: "I design outfits for Barbie dolls. Depending on the doll — whether she's a doctor, princess, or fashionista — I do a lot of research to provide realistic interpretations of those looks."
How she got the job: "I was studying fashion in Los Angeles when two Barbie designers came to one of my classes. A friend convinced me to show them my sketchbook, and three days later, they offered me a job."
Jealous much? "I'm basically designing toys, so I get to play all day. Sometimes I even find myself brushing or braiding Barbie's hair in meetings."
Conversation Starter: "As soon as I tell someone that I'm a Barbie designer, the conversation turns into a trip down memory lane. It's really cute to see grown women turn into little girls when they speak of Barbie. Even guys have a story — they tell me about how their sisters had the whole Barbie setup."

I know that when I was younger I wanted to design my own Barbie clothes, I can actually admit that I am pretty envious of her job!
What was your dream job growing up?
