My life goal is the same life goal I have had since I was 5 years old and will remain as such until I die.

I want to be a game designer, programmer most likely, and be part of creating a truly great game.

I'd like to become a writer. I'm not going to say author, becuase that implies I'd just write fiction books. Screen plays, television scripts (as well as fiction)... I'd like to script games as well. I've wanted to do this since I was about nine, so mine's not changed that much...

Thanks to the recent rise of indie gaming we're closer than ever. Me and a few friends have been getting together over the past few months on this, we're beginning work on a game. Likely one for the PC and maybe on xBox community games.

Every kid has a dream, whether it be to become an astronaut, to race cars or to become a super government agent spy. But, at some point most people realise that those childish dreams hardly ever come true, and one must reset the goals to something more feasible.

So I present you with a two part question: 1) What was your childhood goal, and did you ever actually achieve that goal?
2) What more realistic goal did you give yourself after realizing maybe that childhood one was a little far fetched.
My goal as a child was to be Gandalf. That hasn't really changed, except for the fact that I know it to be unreachable.

As a reasonable goal, I aim to be a game dev. Not much more than that.

I remember that I wanted to be an artist.
Then I decided I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Then I decided I liked cooking and wanted to become a chef.
Then I got a job as a waitress and saw what really, everyday chefs look like.
I changed my mind about becoming a chef, but I still like cooking and I still have my job.
Now I want to be a teacher.

My childhood goal was to become a fairy. Being told that they didn't exist didn't stop me wearing a tutu and fake wings for months on end. I had hippy parents. I was allowed to dress myself.

My actual life goal is: published writer, own a house, biological children, foster children and a degree and job in youth work.

my childhood dream was to be a noble prize winning psychiatrist, not only because i was an incredibly boring child who when i played doctor i actually pretended to be reel doctor diagnosing and subscribing pills instead of just see my first vagina, half of my family are psychiatrists and my grandmothers husband is a noble prize winner and they where all extremely respected so i figured that would be a great way of life.

however, im not that kind of smart, so now i work as bartender and god dammit im a happy sailor, but even though im an damn good bartender ill probably never win a noble prize, but i do get to help people, never underestimate the power of a shoulder to cry on and a arm that serves martinis.

At first I wanted to be a game designer. Then as I got older, I decided I didn't want my life to revolve around games. I spent much of my adolescence being unsure of what career path I wanted to follow. When I was around 16, I thought about being a voice actor. In school, whenever we had to read something out loud from a book, I was the one guy that really got into it, trying to sound what I thought the characters should sound like. Then I found out that their pay is crap, and my high school guidance counsellor suggested a career as a radio announcer.

Currently, I'm about to go to college for Radio Broadcasting. However, a year ago, I discovered my real passion - martial arts. When I was about 14, I took a self-defence (jiu-jutsu) class as part of gym class in high school. I didn't like it because I sucked at learning the moves, and the fact that there were a lot of students meant that the sensei was often busy helping someone else.

When I was 17, I took a fitness kickboxing class (again, as part of gym class). I loved it, and I wanted more. I started going to a dojo after I finished high school. And now I train in kickboxing, kenpo, and MMA classes.

I might not be able to become a professional fighter, what with starting training at such a late age, but at least I'll always have a kickass hobby, a way to stay in shape, and maybe the chance to enter the occasional tournament.

To keep having something to work towards, stay hungry, happiness is just around the corner. Then you get around that corner only to discover its gone around the next corner, and so on. Thats my goal, chasing happiness, half the fun is in the chase.

To become a writer. Films specifically.

I'm working on one now which I feel could be the one.

Hopefully in 2 years time you'll all know my name.

A man can dream.

I either want to be a archaeologist, a palentologist, or a neuroscientist. (I really like jobs that end in -ist)

Oh, and travel. I want to visit every continent, and move to a city, preferably a large one.

Why on earth would you want to live in a city? Especially a large one?

Being from a small seaside town on a pretty damn great stretch of coast, I could never settle in a city. No grass, no silence, no joy...

Each to his/her own though.

One day, with some hard work and a bit of luck, I hope to be making money through music.

Whatever makes me happy.
Why not combine them?
Your serial killing antics would provide wonderful short stories.

I used to think I wanted to be a Lawyer or something else that makes big bucks.

I have since decided that those dreams were a waste of my "creative" instincts, I instead choose to make life as un-normal as possible to those around me. This amazing life choice has lead to the realization of a number of totally awesome goals such as the purchasing of a bubble pipe and endeavoring to play the snickers song to a random person who happens to be eating one.

My childhood goal was to become a professional drifter in Formula D. So far all I have is a car.

I decided to become a A.I Programmer for video games.
