- Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:55 pm #343688 We all wanted to be something growing up. My question is whether or not you stayed true to your childhood dreams and chose that career path.

When I was a real little kid I wanted to be an astronaut. Then when I was 6, the Challenger blew up and I decided I no longer wanted to be an astronaut. I've liked to draw things for as long as I can remember, so being a graphic designer, I'm going to say "Similar".

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Tue Mar 25, 2014 1:00 am #343694 When I was growing up, I wanted to be an Architect. When I went to college, I took up Architecture. There, I realized I didn't want to be an Architect.

Now, I'm a Technical Trainor in a vocational school for Offset Lithography printing.

Not even close, I would say, but contented.

- Tue Mar 25, 2014 3:17 am #343699 i never really wanted to be anything specific that stuck

i wanted to be a cowboy. realized i didnt like riding horses

wanted to be a chef. my mom then wanted me to help cook constantly. didnt want to be a chef anymore.

wanted to be a cop. watched a few episodes of worlds wildest police videos. seen a few cops get shot/run over/whatever. didnt want to be a cop anymore

wanted a career in video games. realized the likelihood of having a job ONLY playing games was pretty slim. gave up on that one.

detailed cars from 15-20 then got a factory job in a corrugated sheet plant and thats still where im at. i like factory work

- Wed Mar 26, 2014 5:21 am #343733 I followed my childhood dream 100%. When I was 4 my parents bought me a power wheel and after a few months it shorted out. Instead of them buying me a new one or me just doing without I learned how to troubleshoot electronics and install the battery pack and electric motor from my grandmas old little rascal with my help help of course. I knew whatiI wanted to be and after 12 years of school and 10 year's of college I now hold a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and couldn't be happier.

- Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:50 pm #343740 I wanted to be nothing but a racecar driver growing up... I'm a Systems Administrator for the government. So not even close.

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.

- Sun Mar 30, 2014 4:03 pm #343870 I wanted to be a nascar driver, now I work for Infinity Insurance Co.

- Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:50 am #344124 I don't remember ever wanting to be something in particular. Which is great, because I'm basically unemployed. I'm gonna say accomplished. I just liked things as a kid, such as cars and technology; but never really thought about a career.
