When You Grew Up,You Wanted to Be..?

I wanted to be a computer engineer, who can work on computers all day and night and by default i am working in computers as a freelancer. It's a god grace that my passion become my business and my love of life. Not completed my graduation in computers neither an engineer nothing, just get a job in small IT company from where i started learning how to operate and how to work on laptop or desktop. Since 2005 glad i am in touch with my passion with any way.
It's true sometimes that if you love something by heart by soul may be late you'll get that thing.

That's it right there. They sometimes want things done perfectly in a way that can't be delivered realistically.

Wanted to join the military, my idea was to see the world, do 22 years, get my pension at the age of 40 then do private contractor stuff.
I joined the military in 85, left in 89 bored, spent 18 months doing business courses, while working nightclub doors and debt collecting, then worked for myself since 1991.

Semi retired but can't not be doing anything.

Yeah friend of mine in the army had the same ideas all he done was complain about the weather in various places he done his training ended up in Germany with a gun that wasn't even loaded he done his 4 and left.

My Marine friends all (almost) totally different.

Think it's down to what you expect to get out from it and the expectations given to you also.

I wanted to be a designer, a marketer, a writer, a web app engineer. Also a game developer and an animator and a video maker. That's all. Even as a child. That was too much and in the end I became nobody.

Maybe I can turn it into a creative journey as that's the only thing that comes to my mind with such a broad skillset.

I'm only 27 years old, so still a kid.
