Barbie's been back in the headlines these days -- but not for out-of-whack proportions. This time it's for being a geek. Or, really, for the swarm of female computer engineers who turned her into one.

The WSJ covered the results of Mattel's "I Can Be" campaign to select a new career for good old Barbie. Voting options included architect, anchorwoman, computer engineer, environmentalist and surgeon. While anchorwoman took an early lead (it was popular with young girls), a viral initiative by female computer engineers flooded the voting. (Kind of hilarious, no?)

Consequently, Mattel decided to hold both a popular vote (computer nerd, complete with Bluetooth headset, glasses, binary-code tee, and laptop) and a girls' vote (anchorwoman).

Unfortunately, someone else thinks Barbie has a higher calling. The Washington Post reported that an Episcopal priest from Ohio fashioned a "Reverend Barbie" -- complete with traditional vestments -- for the girls at her ministry.

In one sense, we think Barbie is lucky. Who else gets to reinvent herself every six months or so, and score a career-specific wardrobe to match?

Question: If you had it to do over again, what career would you choose?
