These are occupations Peeta has never even dared to imagine, because nearly all of Panem (particularly the poorer districts) doesn't allow that kind of thing to float in the minds of the children.

You can be a coalminer or a fisherman, or a grain-farmer, but never an explorer, an academic, a scholar.
