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

[SleepyKrew]

what if I wanted to be more than one of those

[TesXX]

Alive

[Belisarius]

Very, very old.

I retain that ambition to this day and am well on my way to fulfilling it.

EDIT: difference is, as a child, I expected to have two kids by my current age, but my asexuality had other plans

[Majiffy]

I wanted to be a lawyer and a novelist


Then music took me by the heart around 5th grade and I haven't looked back.

I thought you were part of the breakdancer brotherhood

I feel so used

Well the breakdancer was more a hobby really but I was quite serious about it for like 6 whole months until I couldn't do anything except just spin in a little ball

wait maybe we can generate some data for what we wanted to be and what we ended up as. If there is a pattern, then next generations can subvert the system by pretending to want to be one thing so they can end up doing what they really wanted to do.

I wanted to be an astronaut mostly, or a soldier, or an author. To be honest, that hasn't really changed. I still want to go to space, still want to write a book... still follow the news on when the next recruitment class is

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.

Astronaut until I learned how much trauma your body experiences when you go into space for long periods of time.
