Dreamed of being a video game designer, eventually in charge of everything but starting my way up as a coder.

Gave up on it pretty fast when I realized I wasn't that good at coding.
Was thankful later on when I saw that it's a "dream job" for many people, so the industry abuses and exploits them with massive unpaid overtime and crunch and frequent layoffs.

My job now is pretty dull and boring, but generally low stress w/ decent work/life balance, job security, and healthcare. Wouldn't trade it ever for a "more interesting" job w/o those qualities.
