When you were growing up, what was your dream job? Is any part of that still true?

In primary school I wanted to be a film director... but now I cant even ask a person to borrow a pencil, nevermind telling a whole cast what to do, so thats kinda off the table

...so I just study graphic design now. Still not impossible, but I doubt I'll ever be a director 😅
 
I wanted to be a police officer, so I can protect, defend and stand up for those who cant do it themselves like children against child predators, like physically and mentally disabled adults against bullies.

Since my school days I been taking the fight back to bullies on vulnerable peoples behalf, they may not be able to fight but I know how to fight and I can do it well without feeling any guilt for my actions against bullies, and I have been in legal trouble for doing so, luckily I got myself out of trouble as well.

The first duty of the most human police officers is to protect the vulnerable and upholding the law second. The best cops will recognise when there is a real, genuine, and desperate reason why an offender has broken the law then that officer will use their own judgement and NFA it regardless of the risk to themselves.
 
I cant say that when I was a kid or even teenager I knew exactly what I wanted to do for a career. I just knew Id like to try helping people. Closer to the end of high school I decided I wanted to work in mental health. I do that now and couldnt be happier 🙂

To direct you own is a good start🙂
 
I always wanted to wear a uniform of any kind to be the authority and represent the country.
But as with many things, some of us are predestined to obey their parents. ( at least while they were growing up )
My parents wanted me to become an Architect.
So I did. ( only for a month I worked as such)

Then I gladly joined my aunt in uniform as a Border-passing customs officer for 15 years.
Enjoyed any moment of it as I was able to see and meet people of all kinds and characters.
Now I work as a Logistic and Transport consultant.

PS. If you wonder how can I be so successful in pissing off people... it's because of the training that we received while working for Customs.
Provocation is a good way to find out things about people and people about things. 😉
 
Do I even need to comment? The trolls have listed all my occupations (most made up) 🤣🤣🤣
Do I even own me anymore??? Plonks cardboard cutout.

You don't need to comment. I have found peace since leaving Gen Chat and everything I do now is for satirical reasons.

I honestly don't give a fu..ck after the way you treated me. The post was not intended at you or anyone in particular. Funny how I can't post anything without people who don't know a thing about me feeling the need to comment. Take up your gen chat issues with the group of trolls you hung out with, and reflect on the damage you caused to real people you STILL know nothing about. Modding, it seems, is confused with trolling on this chat site - without ANY oversight or accountability. Now back to the fun topic.

Yes, lets get back to the fun topic...

I tried fishing as a job 20 years ago. Turned out my success rate is still perfect 👌
 
i never knew what I wanted to do...i could never think of anything that I wanted to dedicate years of my time learning and spending money that actually required it...i had barely flunked out of college, twice, when I first joined here 20 years ago...I fell into IT because I needed a job and i was quick on my feet...but it wasn't my ideal...i never wanted to make money from IT...i figured it'd destroy my interest in it...so instead i just kept jumping every few years from job to job...so long as the jump included a ladder jump...now it's getting a paycheck to travel...they pay me way more than I need to live...and it's remote...so i just travel while I work...so long as i'm working in north american time zone business hours i'm good...the next jump will be to something asynchronous where the time doesn't matter...it's the results...so i can do that from where ever and not have to work from 4pm to midnight while I'm in europe...
 
My dream job was to be a Astronaut and I still hold special place in heart for my home in space but I know it’s to dangerous there are many things that can go wrong on way up or in space or on reentry but I also found out that I am artist and so someday as a artist I hope to be first artist in space too
 
When I was growing up, my dream job was to work as a journalist. While I didn't quite make it to the newsroom, talroo customer service helped me find a job that still allows me to explore my passion for writing and storytelling. They can assist you in finding opportunities that align with your interests and skills, even if they've evolved from your childhood dreams!
 
I wanted to be a famous actor either in movies or live theatre. I occasionally do small time short films or community theatre, but making money through acting just ain’t in the cards it seems.
 
I wanted to be carpenter. Anything to do with a house from the ground up. It was an open ended want…. I just wanted to build things. If it’s inside of a house I can build it (or on top of even). I’ve done framing, doors and windows, siding , roofing, tile and backsplash, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, fences, and concrete. I’m still doing specialty concrete today. Thinking about trying to own a few air bnbs as a business. I’m still dreaming even though I’m 37 (just made it to 37 today! Haha) I’d like to build Binishells. Gah they look cool. Wish me luck.
 
a couple spring to mind. Veterinarian, Biologist, Anthropologist or Historian. I have always been interested in natural history, the natural world, human history, cultural practices, literature, music and the arts in general. The exact sciences weren’t really my thing though, so what better than to combine all of my interests and study History? I did just that. After completing my B.A. in History, I went on to complete an M.A. degree in Cultural History, branching out into comparative literature, post-colonial theory, and history of science, in particular history of psychiatry.
