Default Aspirations as a child

Ok when we were kids we all wanted to be something, well how has that worked out for ya?

When I was a kid:
I wanted to be a mechanic and body man with my own shop.

How it turned out:
I wrench on my vehicles and friends vehicles out of our garages, have worked with and for several shops mostly doing suspension work. Take photos of people beating their vehicles up.

So I guess in a way I am still within the area I always wanted to be in just in a different capacity than I had originally thought.

So how did yours work out?

i wanted to be a lot of things... like most boys, cop and fireman were at the top of the list.

well, im too much of a 9-5 pussy to be a cop and i dont deal well with trauma so being a firefighter isnt really gonna work out too well.

one thing for sure, when i was a kid, i never said "i want to be underpaid in a tan cubicle when i grow up"

When I was a kid:
I wanted to be a stuntman.

How it turned out:
Im still in school fulltime and sitting at a desk, signing PM contracts and stupid shit.

So I guess Im not even close, however I am on track for my schooling. Look at my sig for taste of stunt driving for a resume, if that day ever comes.

It's complicated. I'm in graduate school because I don't want to be career military. I need to graduate in the next 1.5 years, then apply directly to Navy OTS and be commissioned before I turn 28. This is all assuming that I will be admitted to their LASIK test program. I'm trying my best to get my degree as fast as I can.

Edit: Also my interests are changing somewhat, I'm currently leaning towards rotary wing with a SAR bent, rather than just strictly bombing the crap out of small countries. Which means I could go into the Coast Guard in addition to Navy, and the accept candidates up to age 29.
