So I asked in a previous thread What do you do for a living and now I'm curious as to to when you were a little guy/girl what did you want to be when you grew up ? Did anyone actually become what they wanted when they were just a kid ?

When I was a little guy I wanted to be a Chicken Farmer, Ended up going to school for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (graduated) and now I work on Life Boats, go figure.

Told the chem 30 teacher to FO when he said I couldn't share a textbook with a friend, I had no money to buy one. Ended up fighting with a nun, took a bookkeeping course and became an accountant.

Was going to be a vet otherwise.
