You should aspire to achieve your dreams. You want to be a vampire? Then go suck some blood. Don't let your parents hold you back.Ham_authority95 said:
A fighter jet pilot!
But you need sign your life over to the army and do several years of intense training... I'll just go play games.

I wanted to be a palaeontologist from as early an age as memory serves, up until about the age of 12. I was one of the few children who never aspired to be a fireman or a vet.
The vast number of dinosaur encyclopaedias, and boxes of assorted animal bones from beneath the school playground and my own backyard, still hide amongst my piles of old forgotten bits and pieces.
Also, just to clarify, I was not one of those kids who wanted to be a palaeontologist because they thought Jurassic park looked cool, I'll have you know my parents were of 'that' variety in that I wasn't allowed to watch any movies of that sort until the ripe old age of 11. I just really liked dinosaurs.
I only wish I had decided against aspiring to dig up dinosaur bones because I found something more interesting...I'm supposed to be acting like a responsible adult, finding myself a career, and building toward a prosperous future. But now I don't know what I want to do!!!
Sigh...such is life.

A Game Developer. All the way up to Sophomore Year in High school when is discovered that I hated programming and 3d modeling.
A Hacker/Net Security Specialist. Then I tried and really did not enjoy programming so decided that it would not be enjoyable to do something I disliked all day.
A Scientist, Bill Nye was my first introduction to the idea of doing something just to see if it works. Then I met Dr. Kaku at a book signing and my mild interest in science (that honestly i gave no real thought too, I am much better at History and English by talent (and had much better teachers in these subjects consistently though i had a few great science teachers) turned into a bit of a bigger interest in science.
An engineer. Modern Mechanics for Kids was an amazing show.
Eventually I got my stuff together and found I really enjoyed Physics and fell in love with it.

I wanted to be a police officer. I Grew up in a rough area surrounded by violent arseholes that inexplicably hated me, so it just seemed natural to want to be a tool of the justice system.
