I always wanted to be a paleontologist. Fucking loved dinosaurs.
Along with a Pokemon master, spaceman, pro skier, wanted to run a ski/bike shop and fireman.
The last dream I had that slipped away on me was to be a radiologist, then I decided Physics 12 was too hard. Looking back at that, made a good decision, happy where I am 2 years later...Broke college student.

I wanted to be an oral surgeon, or an architect.

and then I realized that cutting people open grosses me out.

I'm opting for the latter.

Space has always amazed me. I've always wanted to go to space and I always will. But I'm not really cut out for the job of an astronaut.

Now I want to be either a pharmacist or something to do with buying/selling.

AFTER? Ha! Hell, there are some days where I do more browsing of NS than I do number crunching. And I get paid for it. And you'd never guess me for an accountant if we met in real life either. My professional career and my personal lifestyle are pretty much polar opposites.

Space, I always pondered with the question, Where does the universe END? It seems like there is no end, it goes on forever, and there are trillions of planets just like the earth. Seriously think about it, is there like just a big wall where it ends. So confusing and screwed up to think about, it kinda makes me mad that I dont know and probably wont ever know

i wanted to go into space or do something awesome in the military, fighter pilot, sniper, etc.. something more specialized. then i wanted to be a pro skier, then i realized that wouldn't be quite as cool as it seemed after being around pro's a lot. i kinda want to be some bad ass explorer/treasure hunter. im not really working towards any kind of long term career because if its not something that i absolutely love, im not doing it. so until i can decide on what i want to do with the rest of my life, im gonna continue fucking around and earning enough money to get by.

im seriously considering being a navy pilot of some kind, ive got a friend trying to be a fighter pilot, and he keeps telling me i need to do it.
