What would you like to do with your life but know you never will, for whatever reasons?

I've always wanted to be a lobster fisherman, but know I won't for a number of reasons.

I've always wanted to be a World War 2 veteran but for some reason no one believed in me and they kept telling me I wouldn't become one so I gave up.

Seriously, I wanted to become a fighter pilot but I had bad eyes, got them fixed now but it's to late to enroll now.
So then I wanted to become an aerodynamical engineer (or whatever they call those guys who design race cars) but I never liked studying to much so that wasn't the best choice either.

This summer I'm getting my level 1 ski instructor and my PADI Dive Instructor, winters skiïng, summers diving, we'll see from there. Someday I also want to go further in skydiving, it's a great lifestyle!

I'm sure that you know, but lobstering is tough work. I could never do it because it is too repeditive and so strenuous.

Seconded on the F1 Driver thing, I'd love to do that, but I have neither the money to get started, nor am I a good enough driver.

I'd love to be a Pro Golfer, fucking sweetest lifestyle out there, but again, I'm not good enough.

I'd love to be a host on Top Gear, but I'm not British, so I don't think they'd hire me.

I'd love to be the Prime Minister of Canada, but I won't, because the fucking Quebecers would never elect me.

Looks like I'll be working in Real Estate, which really isn't all that bad, pretty sweet actually.

Archeology, I think i've always had a desire to do that when I was a kid. I'm taking stuff in university that will relate to it in some ways but I doubt it'll ever work out.

Oh and I have wanted to be a pilot, professional athlete, doctor, chiropractor, SWAT team, Green Beret, rob a Brinks truck, fighter pilot, pro skier, accountant and now looking into marketing management. This is my third year of college and I need to pick something and stick with it. It sucks, I feel like im wasting my time at college.

I want to be a stunt driver/racer. Like the nuremburg shit, racing Porsche's and Ferrari's. That would be amazing, as well as tuning up lesser cars to be fast as hell, like audi's and beamers.. But instead I am trying to get into med school.

wow.. I never remember making this post... But the funny thing is that there's a 50% chance that I might pursue this career path. Or I'll continue with chem and biochem into med school or something related.

funny how alot of people say pilot, my brother's a pilot, so i think nothing of it really. Its cool, but he's wanted it forever, so its just always been there. weird

i think being a fighter pilot would be awesome, or some kind of special forces soldier.

Oh, and i think being a pro soccer player in Europe would be pretty sick too. Tons of travel, and a everyone either loves you like a God, or wants to kill you.

i always wished i was in medievil times defending like a castle or attacking one, and i could be like the battle planner i just think that would be sick (but you would have the knowledge you have now) so you could just build the sickest things against your opponents
