I wanted to be an astronaut. Became a pilot. Wasnât smart enough to be an astronaut. I wish I could still fly though commercially. Canât do that because of diagnosis and meds but I talked to an airline about being a simulator instructor for Canadian Regional Jets. I donât have a type rating in that aircraft so I would have to get one.
You can do it all in a simulator. I am supposed to hear back by Friday. I have been out of the cockpit a while and would need some refresher training but it would be cool.
I have a really good job already though that pays well. I also have an interview tomorrow with Harley Davidson. I also like Harleys.
I need to stop looking for new jobs. I am always looking.
What I wanted always revolved around Wilderness. When I was young, I always dreamed of moving to the Yukon or Alaska, living off the land.
When I was older and went back to college, my first choice of careers would have been with natural resources. But they told me they wouldnât be hiring for 10 years, government cutbacks and what not. So I went for my second choice, which was visual design
I became a writer and this one farm I lived on was built over a Native settlement, so I did get to find
artifacts a lot. It was kind of like a low budget version of being an archaeologist.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a professional worldwide gamer to win million $ tournaments and have my own brands of gaming products like Fata1ity the gamer. But when I grew up I realized its much easier to be a Dr since I had the required grades up until my first semester of university when I got diagnosed with psychosis.
I was put on Abilify and I was able to do the remaining 5 semesters but my grades went down by a lot, least affected area was math, I got my degree in kinesiology in 2019 but didnât have the grades to specialize in physiotherapy or athletic therapy, extra year master.
My advisor suggested I redo classes where my grades were low but I said fk it I already lost many years. I just wanted to work and build a family which I couldnât do either. I was only able to work long term on 80mg Latuda. Now on 6mg Risperdal I stay in bed 24/7.
First I wanted to be a writer, i read a lot and wrote a lot of stories⊠Then I wanted to be a doctor. A psychiatrist or a surgeon. I also wanted to be in a band.
When I got older I wanted to open a cafe/ restaurant ⊠I still do or probably a catering company. I still want to write, though have not in awhile.
