Did you end up following your childhood dream







Nothing much to say here since I'm still in school but the rest of you discuss.

I never had a dream job as a child. I always hated the idea of going to a job just about every day, tbh. As a teenager I figured out I could tolerate an IT job, though.

I wanted to be a police officer. I don't work due to ill health and I dislike the police.

I wanted to have an awesome life when I was a kid, and I've lived an awesome life, so sweet!

If we're talking strictly jobs, I wanted to be rock star and I'm currently a janitor.

Are you a teacher or guidance counselor of sorts?

I tried but didn't try hard enough and now I live a relatively comfortable lifestyle that has let down everyone who watched me grow up.

I've always wanted to be a wizard.

As far as dream jobs that actually exist. There's been things that appeal to me on some level, but nothing I felt any kind of passionate desire to follow. Some things I find appealing...

Writer. My preferred mediums would probably be novels or comics. Maybe videogames. I can't draw, so that kind of makes comics hard to do unless I have a partner, and while i've been tossing ideas around forever I'm usually content to find other things to do than sit down and write.

Pilot. I've been in love with the idea of flight since forever, but it never really occured to me to seriously pursue it. The idea of learning how to fly is scary and then I looked into how much it would cost...

Open up a hobby shop. I've been a fan of D&D for over two decades, so I thought it would be cool to open up a hobby shop, but changed my mind as I learned about how much work running a business can involve and how likely they are to fail.

IT.
I get to be the person in between teacher and regular person they just see. A surprising amount of students apparently improved in IT skills when they're aware the IT department is not going to call them useless for forgetting their password every few months.

This exactly. I was always jealous of the kids that knew what they wanted to be.
