when you were a kid what did you wanna be when you grew up

When I was 7, I wanted to be a NASCAR driver. My mom said I couldn't because it was too dangerous. So I grew up wanting to be a crew chief for a NASCAR team.

When I was in high school and college, I was dead set on becoming a sports writer.

I didn't want my current job until the day I got the call saying I'd been accepted to try for the job. I only got that far because my dad filled out all of the paperwork in my name and forged my signature on it because it's what he does and he wanted me to do it too. Then I decided screw being happy, I'll make decent money right away instead.

Holy shit same for the NASCAR thing. I realized it was unsafe myself though.

[Majiffy]

Lol

That was my best work. By a lot.

I enjoyed every bit of it

[CooLDoG]

none of the above, I wanted to be a cult leader.

In reality, the ones I wanted to be were astronaut, detective, and scientist. But astronaut can fit into the scientist category so I voted scientist.

So I thought about this for a while because human memory can be quite warped. I'm pretty sure it went:
preschool + elementary school) break dancer
middle school +early high school) architect/musician
late high school + early college) psychologist/neurologist
final destination) neuroscientist

I actually remember getting to high school and excitedly telling my father that I was going to join the "Future Homemakers of America" club, and was quite confused as to why that had nothing to do with architecture.

Astronauts require very spesific physical requirements. No appendix for one.

Also RadiantCowbells is amazing.

Also RadiantCowbells is awful.

They can take out whatever they want as long as I get to go to space

I wanted to be a teacher. When I was 7-8 years old I was convinced that teachers just have a blast when they give us tons of homework, are delighted when we have to take tests, hate holidays and are very happy when the school starts again. My interest kind of dropped when I've started to realize that torturing students isn't that exciting for teachers plus that it involves actual work on their part
