Question of the Day - Thursday, April 25th, 2024

[BantyChooks]

Today's question is from @tripletfeb:

I wanted to be a veterinarian.

I wanted to be a water park designer.

Mmmph. I never really cared much for the future.

Still don't. When people ask what I'm going to do when I'm older I just tell em' that I don't know.

I wanted to be a garbage truck.

Yes, you read that right. My parents still tell people this all the time. Then I wanted to be a garbage truck driver after I was old enough to understand the difference.

As I got older and more obsessed with flight and space, I decided I'd be an F-14 pilot or an F-16 pilot and then an astronaut. (Yes, I am 100% a product of the 80's. IYKYK).

Then I watched Challenger blow up on the live broadcast Jan 28 1986. I was 12. I was in my 30's before I realized that was also the day I decided not to be an astronaut subconsciously. After that, I didn't really know what I wanted to be anymore. I eventually decided to pursue geology and ended up doing nerd stuff with computers because it paid better.

For the kids, Follow your dream. Not the money.

If I followed my dreams I'd be in a terrible place.

I'd probably end up with good money and nightmare customers then . It's part of IT support. And tech repair. (Printers, I'm looking at you. )

I wanted to be a zoologist. Money ran out in college and I refused to get a student loan that I couldn't pay back
