Astronomer until I found out I sucked at math.

And then a baseball player until I found out that my skills weren't even good enough to make it on my high school team. Lol

"Fighter pilot" seems to be a popular childhood career choice here. It's not suprising!

I wanted to be the world aerobatic grand champion. And in order to pay for such an expensive dream I wanted to be an airline pilot.

Yep, fighter pilot.
I can remember in 6th grade, drawing pictures of airplanes in battle.
Getting shot down, and firing at each other.
I figured out if you used a red crayon and yellow one, it looked like real fire.
A real step forward for me.....lol....

Yeah, then I in went on to 7th grade and we found 'girls' we're much more fun.
That was the end of my fighter pilot dream.
Then in High School I found beer and cars.
The End.

Women...that was the beginning of the end...... rolleyes

...Astronaut. Until the age of 8 or 9 when I disassembled a washing machine to build a rocket (hey, it was white, round, and had some sort of engine inside!) and my mother... erm... "made me realize" that destroying home appliances wasn't the way to be an astronaut.

Then fighter pilot, until I found out that a) you needed to be slim and sporty and b) your country has to have an air force to begin with.

Then computer programmer.

I guess that's why I play KSP, mil flight sims and write software for a living... unfortunately, I must add. smile


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

I wanted to be a priest, specifically, a Franciscan monk.

Fighter pilot at first then found that all the military guys I knew that I really respected were Infantry. So I did that. Now I got my pilots license and an airplane to fulfill a bit of doing the other thing; just a small bit.
