If you know, you know.
A question for the unemployed.

I wanted to become a comic book artist.

Now I study video game design.

I would say that's an upgrade, but since a job isn't guaranteed I'll keep my mouth shut.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
For the longest time I just wanted to be a rail riding hobo.
Then I played too many arcade flying games and wanted to be a pilot.
Then I watched too many John Wayne films and wanted to be a soldier
Then I figured I'd enjoy being in residential construction/carpentry...
Then a mechanic...
Now I'm pretty sure that I want to stay in the aviation field.

A game developer, and I am still in college. I'll be a game developer soon enough. I just don't expect to get any cash while I stay in this country.

I wanted to be a lego designer when I was a kid

Not that I wouldn't accept that in a heartbeat now, but I'm more looking at computer games/ graphics. Skyboxes and textures, that sort of thing

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
Wanted to be a Teacher.

Now, personal trainer, so I guess kind of the same.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Didn't really think about jobs. Thought being a farmer wouldn't be too bad, and space was always interesting to me.

Now I'm in a Geology degree, and analysing sedimentary features of Mars or rocks from elsewhere is a perfectly viable choice for me (Not that I've put too much thought into it, tbf).

Hmm, well early years I guess I wanted to be a nigel strawberry type. Then a zookeeper of some kind. Then that sort of dried up reasonably early, I like animals but it's just not really the career for me.
But if I ever burn out on meatbag psychology though, I'll probably bugger off to go and work with apes instead <_<

Then by the time I was in high school I was set on going into Medicine, got all the work placements and the grades etc but I ended up a little bit unwell during sixth form which basically put paid to that because of how insanely high the requirements are to get in.

During sixth form I was doing Psychology along with Bio/Chem/Physics etc and I actually really enjoyed it. By the time I had to leave because of my health I was reasonably sure that even if it wasn't my original plan I'd still find working with meatbag minds more interesting than working with their bodies.

So Biologist -> Zoologist -> Doctor -> Psychologist, that's the way it's gone.

I wanted to drive trains when I was 6.
Now I want to go into some sort of computational engineering. Possibly computation fluid dynamics.
