As a kid I wanted to become a doctor.... until I got into 11th grade and my parents figured out it was time to tell me I had a learning disability they'd kept me from knowing about... to which I responded "...so you won't be disappointed if I don't become a doctor?"
After 4 years in the USMC I figured out a few ways not to ever work a "job" and make more money than a job would pay. I'll probably never have a "job" again for the rest of my life now. I like bossing myself around more than doing it to others or taking it from others.

When I was a little kid, and wanted to either deliver Milk, mail, or UPS. I thought it was SO cool they drove around standing up, in shorts, with the door open!!!
I'm light years away from any of those fields now, and I kinda hate driving in general as an adult.

When I was a little kid I knew I wanted to work on cars or something with cars. When I was 16 I restored my first car and have been doing it for 30 years now. I am thinking of a career change ( I know at 48 right?) and am thinking of possibly working for Tesla on the assembly line. Tesla is just 10 miles away from me and they seem to be doing pretty well. It is a thought. We will see.
I can EXPLAIN it to you but I can't UNDERSTAND it for you

Hmm.
I wasn't enamored of any one profession when I was a child.
I recall being asked what I wanted to be and I replied 'I don't know'.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

I wanted to be a movie director, i would still love to do that though i think i would be a really bad tempered one not nicey, nicey, lets all have a jolly good time making a picture, no this is my vision, all that concerns me is the finished project. I would also be screen writer/editor and cast my own actors.

There were a lot of things I wanted to be when I was a kid. There was fireman, doctor, astrologist, giraffe (I was 2) actor (acted in school plays, but it never stuck) and writer (I always loved writing stories for class when they were assigned)
I still want to be a writer some day and have just finished a book editing internship. I will be substitute teaching again soon and hope to find a job in book editing which I hope will somehow help me in writing.

I wanted to be an asronaut or a fighter jet pilot, I sort of just forgot about it even though I did think about joining the military after high school. Now I'm an electrician.
