What does Scout wish was different about Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Before Scout discovers some of Atticus' talents previously
unknown to her, she expresses some disappointments about her father. Since "he was
nearly fifty," he was older than most of her friends' fathers, and his advanced age and
late start at parenting "reflected upon his abilities and manliness." Scout wished
Atticus had a more exciting job, such as a farmer, mechanic or dump-truck driver. His
glasses and poor inherited eyesight were a sore point. Additionally, "He never went
hunting, he did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke." When Atticus caught Scout
aiming her air rifle at Miss Maudie's rear end, he warned her to never point it at
anybody again. At that point, Scout "wished my father was a devil from hell," echoing
Miss Maudie's joking retort to Atticus' remark about Scout's "genrous
target."
