A Zoo keeper. Good thing I got out of that phase since in reality Zoo keeper have to clean up the animal messes (I still like animals thought).

Was pushed all through school and 6th form towards the military, then got diagnosed disabled, so that's out of the window and I have fuck all in the way of appropriate career guidance now, and will probably never get it. FML.

Same here. I can't join the military cause I'm diabetic, and I've wanted to my whole life. Still, life goes on.deathninja said:
I wanted to be a paleontologist.
When I grew up, I realised that A: my country has hardly any fossil record to speak of and B: in order to get a paying job on the field of paleontology, you basically have to wait for some old paleontologist to die and even then some other silverback will fill their spot.

That or I just didn't care. The term "job" didn't really factor in my young mind. I was all about enjoying life. So now, I'm going to uni to study film.

lets see first i wanted to be a plumber(i was a kid and loved super mario) then a scientist(but after i found out that there was so much repetition i changed my path) and now im going for animator since i have always admired people who can make images come to life.
a doctor.
the earliest photo of me is me dressed as a nurse (because some wanker always took the doctor stuff) at nursery (thats like kindergarten, i think) and my favourite childhood toy was my fake doctor shit.
which is why i have a deep, burning hatred for my first year biology teacher. she ruined the entire field of biology for me with her biased grudge against me.
[sub]***** was probably jealous i was so awesome...[/sub]
and now somehow i'm studying law.
i dont want to ruin your dream job though. if you can deal with shooting a horse in the head or euthanising a dog, you'll do fine.
ive had to re-word this a few times so i dont sound like i'm trying to depress you. being a vet is a wonderful job.

I remember thinking abiut halfway through my first book, "hey, shouldn't have those two been the other way around? the exciting one being a childish dream and the dull job with an assured income a good idea after university?"

These are the times one can be really thankful about video games. Try ARMA 2 if you didn't already!deathninja said:
Me, A cop or a pilot. Turned into an IT/Network support guy (I sucked at sports anyway, and wasn't much of a science geek excluding computer sciences which I excelled at in HS).
