Question What Did You Want To Work As A Kid/Adult?

When I was little I had these ridiculous aspirations of working as a Garbage Truck Driver. The Garbage Truck would drive by before Kindergarten started for me.

Then after a few year, I wisened up and decided I wanted to be a Veterinarian.

This was what I wanted to become for a good six years until I went to high school. There on on of my field trips I came across a Polytechnic course that would teach me to work in the Media Industry, so right now, I want to be a Journalist and I'm going to sign up for that course.

So, what did you want to work as when you were a Kid and what do you want to work as now?

I did wanted to be a train engineer of a steam locomotive. But then I realize that electric now rules the country and the old steam engines are just not accepted anymore.

Now I'm in school for marketing communications and join the legion of the guys with the ties. However, I do find marketing to be quite interesting. It's cool to know what those ads and door to door salespeople are really doing to you.

I would say that my most serious one would have been as a Military historian and a Fighther Pilot. I can Proudly say I'm a bit of both ( know my ww2 history then the adverage joe and I Know of enought about flying Planes and helicopters [thanks to Simulator {the real big ones that use a hydrolique system to move the cabin}] to save my life)

Right now I'm in middle of joining the army to become a Medical Technician, a medic.

The earliest ones i can remember are a policeman and games tester.

I'm really glad i didn't follow up with the tester idea.

I'll be going to uni this September to begin studying game development and programming.

When I was really young I wanted to be an inventor. Then ever since like 4th grade I've wanted a job in computers. I still do now; computer programmer or website designer.
Preferably I would program video games but I wouldn't mind making the next breakthrough program, whatever that may be. My high school has C++/Java classes for seniors and I'll be all over those when I'm a senior.

I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was younger.
I ended up a graphic artist/desktop publisher.
A few years back I wanted to be part of the creative design team in video game production. I even bought 3D Game Studio, but eventually got too overwhelmed trying to do everything in order to make a game.
If I had to choose 1 field, it would be Game Designer as over the past few years I've spent a lot of free time coming up with crazy new gameplay ideas.
