Job you wanted when you were young compared to Today?

[Catfish]

When I was young I wanted to be an oceanographer. Jacques Cousteau and All Giddings were my heroes. I also had and still am fascinated with flying. When I got older, 10+ I started to want to follow my dad's footsteps into the heavy trucking industry thanks to many afternoons after school stomping around the heavy truck shop he presided over.

After starting my working career in the restaurant industry, I finally did get the opportunity to get into trucking. I spent from the late 90's to the mind 00's driving an unknown but damned high number of different vehicles. Since 2005, I've moved into management, my last job being the safety director for a trucking company.

I still want to fly one day.

A pro baseball player. Got all the way to division 1 ball and then blew my elbow out. Real life hits hard after that, but now I'm thankful for the career I have!

Oh yeah I almost forgot. Being a hot shot pilot for the Navy was a dream of mine through much of grade school, too. But, my poor eyesight flushed that dream down the toilet! Oh well. Nothing can be done about that! Generally I was drawn to being some sort of military man; I was an uber-geek growing up, though, and was NOT very athletically inclined at all, so when I turned 19 and decided to join the Army, it came as a shock to family and friends alike...
