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

[Champagne]

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What made you want that back then? And how close did your life end up from that childhood dream?

When I was little, I wanted to be a firefighter. I thought it was the coolest job ever lol. Racing around in the big red truck, helping people, and spraying water everywhere. Obviously, I’m not a firefighter. However, I volunteered at our local fire station when I was younger, and it was honestly a good experience. Just not something that i wanted to do my whole life.

What did you imagine growing up to be?

Music producer.
Did it as a teen, worked with a few bands, did recordings, made playbacks and beats, mixing, and all that cool stuff..

I still do it today to some extent, usually just instrumental tracks.
I actually work today with some cool music software companies that I acquired using some of the terminologies I learned as a kid, so it was nice to see that knowledge being put to good use lol

5 YO - HGV Driver or Window Cleaner according to my parents no idea why
16 YO - to work for GCHQ. Just always been a bit fascinated with SIGINT

Now... i'm not sure. I've been working in Digital Marketing as a side-hustle since I was 15 but long term and i'm studying CS but maybe accounting or something else in the finance industry instead. Interesting I had more of an idea when I was a teenager than I do now of what I want to do in the long-term lol

I wanted to be a snooker player. I used to play all the time, but come competitions I just wasn't that good. Don't get me wrong I'm a decent player now, I'm no pro.

I didn't have much growing up, I didn't have much of a family and the people I used to speak to or let me stay with them kept telling me to go down the military route as Id have a bed, food and a family.

So I tried out for the marines and they wouldn't have me thanks to previous damage to my knees ALL of my friends at the time got in bar me, I tried for the paratroopers they wouldn't have me not even the regular army. I got medically rejected so many times it wasn't even worth my time trying for the Air Force lol..

I've always been fighting and I was good at that and it was probably the closest I could get to the above without the guns, and that's what I done from the age of 17 till I was in my 20s was fight. I got offered the chance to go pro with a legitimate contract but as I shared crashing a car ended that quicker than I care to remember.

I've done so much and at some stages my life just felt like it was going at a million miles an hour.

Where I am now. Is so far removed from anything I wanted to do I actually love it. I wish I got exposed to other things, experiences and people growing up.

I might have been a boring fckr when I was young/kid, I loved fishing and wanted to be a fisheries management consultant to develop better fishing for wild fishes in lakes and rivers.

Funny this, I actually wanted to be the same - a fireman as we call it round our ways.

Life kind of took over as I grew older and forgot about it, but yeah as a kid had all the fireman outfits etc

You could still do that.

It's different and interesting I think.

Buy a lake and start a fishery and stock pond..
