Right on! I knew some navigators when I was in the service. Thatās a very important duty! But of course every job is important to keep a strong military.

I thought being a paleontologist and digging up dinos sounded really cool for a little while. Then for a while I wanted to farm.

I wanted to be software developer. Then I got sick in high school. Then I wanted to be psychiatrist and fix myself.
Before getting sick parents wanted me to go for med school.
Looking back I realize all these goals were long shots for me.

I wanted to be in the army. I was the generation after cowboys so it was all war movies and things.
As a teenager I wanted to be a writer because I read heaps and always enjoyed that process and thought that would be great but my mind isnāt set up for writing novels or even shorter works.

I felt no desire to be anything. When I was a teenager I decided to be a drug addicted rock and roller. I went to college, a prestigious music school but was too mentally ill to pass the first semester. I had jobs in restaurants, which was good experience. My last job was as a volunteer in an assisted living home in 1998. I feel some self pity today because Iām such a sad guy, suffering from intense akathesia all night 
. I did some cleaning and played guitar but not much of anything. I should have done stretching exercises. I canāt explain what I feel, itās so bizarre, almost like the beginnings of Parkinson.

When I was a small boy.I was sick all the time, and wanted to be a Doctor. Then as I grew up I discover computer, and wanted to be a total of 3 things then. They where a doctor, a programer and or a computer teacher. Finially in my early teens my departed grandfather told me a major truth of the world that not many people have ever heard or believed when the heard it, and that is as follows below:
" You can be anything or anyone, if you set your mind to it. You can also accomplish great thing with just being yourself with what every it is you have accoplished or done in your life time."
After he said this too me a few dozen years later he passed on as a great grandfather and a very kind, protective, and loving grandfather. I wish he was still alive to see the good thing and even the not so good thing I have done for those and myself within my life time.

well i wanted to be a baseball player until i discovered basketball, played hours everyday, and if i would have been 6ā3 instead of 5ā9, i probably would have at least got a college scholarship.
now as an adult, i want to be a physical therapist, but too old for that now, so im considering a couple different careers, but they are just a paycheck.

I never had a job/career in mind when I was a kid.
I wanted the typical things when I was real little, like ballerina, astronaut, cowboyā¦
But when I got about middle school age, when people asked what I wanted to be, Iād say
āA Columbian drug lordās wifeā.
Basically because I didnāt want to work and wasnāt a great student.
Still, my parents pushed me, a little too much, to finish my education and have a career.
Anyway,
On the other side of things,
My sister said since she was a child she wanted to make clothes.
She would make outfits for Barbie, fashion skirts for herself, was always cutting up sheets and towels, getting in trouble.
She never left that dream.
Today she is a successful costume designer.
Sheās worked on Oscar and Emmy nominated films/shows.
Iām super proud of her.
