What did you want to be when you grew up?

[TXHokie]

A pilot... But being an aerospace engineer is a lot more mentally fulfilling.

I wanted to be both of those but wind up being neither.

I went through stages:
-Airline pilot
-Musician
-Astrophysicist
-Chemist
-Architect
-Chef

What I ended up as:

Network engineer.

"There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought — a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!” -The Mysterious Stranger (Mark Twain)

Actually his life/career path was/has been/is IMO remarkably stable and effective. My story is far more disjointed and strange. But for me it was a question mostly of where/when, circumstances were not propitious to become a this or a that.

Agreed. No way I was gonna become an astronaut with my eyesight.
