When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a teacher because I was convinced I coul do a better job being in charge than my teachers did lol Now I’m working on becoming self employed so I can be in charge of my work. It’s funny how that stayed with me.
With a different family.
I always wanted to be a space garbageman. I've read in some encyclopedia that there's a lot of space debris out there, and imagined that when I'd grow up people would realise there's a need to clean it up.
An air force pilot amongst other things. Pursued a career in electronics/Comms instead and ended up working on aviation ATC ground systems.
A hermit. The old-fashioned kind, living in a hut deep in the woods, far from any other people.
One of Jacques Cousteau's grown-up kids so I could be on their team of underwater explorers, then I was going to marry Jane Goodall's son and work with her (apparently my wee understanding of life had advanced to this as a way of acquiring a scientist parent but not yet understanding I could do it on my own). Then it was simply "move to Canada", no occupation specified. Age 12, I was back to primates and set on studying communication in monkeys or apes or another animal altogether because Penny was already doing that with Koko the gorilla. Somewhere in there was astronomy because Cosmos. I really liked science television because it showed me so many new and different things.
None of this worked out of course.Apparently I wanted to be a bus driver so I could go places. Eventually I wanted to be an astronaut. Now I'm a software engineer :)
You succeeded. You drive data busses.
Hah nice, didn't even think of that
