What did you want to be when you were a kid, and what do you do now for a living?

Question

My question is twofold:

1) What did you want to be when you were a kid?
2) What do you do now for a living?

Just curious.

Let me kick off:

1) airline pilot
2) flight instructor

That's not too far apart, is it?

Answer 1

I knew I did not want to be a nun.

1. I dreamed I'd have a studio, either art or writing or both.
2. I just finished my B.A. in writing and I paint. However, just getting started as a writer, so I'm not quite there yet, but on my way!

Hey it took me to this age to finish school, don't give up hope people! Like they say, it's never too late.

Shoot, I just realized I've been living like a nun! AARGGGHHHH!!!

Good question.
