Was it what you became?
Sorry if there's a thread about this but I'm interested.
Personally, I have wanted to have many careers.
Some including a professional moto gp racer(superbikes), mma fighter, jsf pilot.
However, my faith is decided now. I will join the Marines.

hbu?

A hockey player. But when it came time to get serious hockey was more fun as a sport to me than as a job and I lost my passion for playing. I almost joined up with the marines but I was accepted to law school first and figured that may be the safer route.

I actually want to be a judge, so no trade at all really.

I wanted to be someone who knew what true happiness was.

Apparently, you can only know that once your dead. Aristotle it think, but I could be mistaken.

I have always wanted to be a scientist, going to school to do that. Living my childhood dream!

I wanted to be a professional piano player. Kids use to call me Jr. Mozart in jr high and high school. I was really good and won a lot of contest but ended up quitting when I was about 15 due to the 4hr practice sessions and wanting to pursue other things like sports and a job. For some reason it left a bad taste in my mouth that I havent been able to bring myself back to playing again.

I think mayhap you hold the U.S. army in too high regard.

Also, I may have minored in Astronomy if the intro class wasn't impossible to get into. Here, you have to e-mail the professor and ask to be put on the waiting list at least a semester and a half before you register if you want any hope of getting in. So I'm majoring in East Asian Studies. Not sure what I'll do with that, but at least I'll be able to speak Japanese.

Also, I resent your signature and, were I a bigger basketball fan, would contest it vehemently.

I wanted to be a fireman. Then I realized I was flammable.
