What did you want to be when you grew up?

[billski]

I had a flashback last night. When I was a kid, I wanted to be the snack truck driver.8) You know, like Frito-Lay or Wise. What better way to stoke a junk food diet?!!

You?

Grow up?

 

[drjeff]

A Marine Architect - always loved drawing pictures of boats as a kid (and still do). Thought I might want to do that for a living from an early age on. Kind of changed to this "tooth thing" that I do as a career idea when I was about 14.

Grow up?

Ah yes, the old Warren Miller "Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
You are excused. 8)

I need a few years to answer that question...

I wanted to be a archeologist, an oceanographer or a truck driver...

This was the 60's/70's so - no computers...

When I was an emt, I wanted to be a cop, but then I saw a cop get killed (I wasn't a witness, but he was in my bus). I watched phony press release issued as to not tip off the suspects & that just struck me wrong and I never wanted to be in or near that again.

Anthropology has always fascinated me. If I could do it all over again, I'd go that route. For now...the TV thing suits me just fine.

I wanted to be GI Joe when I was a kid, or one of the guys from Voltron.

Forest Ranger when I was in grade school. Professional Hockey Player in high school and early college until I realized that minor league hockey(back then) was not all it was cracked up to be.

Now, I design ion implanters.

I wanted to be an Air Force fighter pilot, flying F-16's to be exact. That changed to a Navy Fighter pilot after I watched the movie Top Gun for the forst time.

I was guessing that Top Gun was going to be involved with that in one form or another! I'd bet that quite a few folks at an impressionable age 20 years ago or so atleast thought about being a fighter pilot, or atleast getting a really cooler motor cycle, some aviatior glasses and a leather bomber jacket!

My kids.

What? Kinda circular.

Is that like "I'm my own grandpa"???
