Job you wanted when you were young compared to Today?

I knew since I was about 7 or 8 that I wanted to be in the military. I remember when I was 9 or 10 I made my mother buy me a suncatcher at a vendor stand at the mall. I remember going home that day, sticking it to the window and staring at it for days trying to catch all the sun rays that hit the window. To this day I still have it at my parent's apartment on the very same window. The suncatcher is an eagle, globe, and anchor with the words UNITED STATES MARINES on the outer edge.

When I was very young I wanted to play in the MLB, but only for a national league team. Then I got a little older and I changed my mind and I wanted to be a National Park Ranger. Then when I got to college I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic or Sports Illustrated.

If you're qualified,there are good departments hiring.Don't count on staying in Boston though,remember it will be easier to lateral into Boston if that's what you really want.

From a very young age, Retirement looked real nice and I am still trying to make it happen. For now, hard work and investing will have too do.


Todd, the 1/3,1/3,1/3 shop sounds great!

Now we're veering into the "How Old Are You" thread in the Jokes forum! I remember those; don't think I used them but remember my Dad having those as his time cards when he worked for Ford. I guess the time clock would punch new holes in the card when he punched in and out? Oh yeah, and why was he bringing that stuff home?

About 12-14 years old me and my buddies all wanted to be gynecologists. With age and wisdom, I'm glad that was short-lived. Yuck!

I always wanted to be a chef and have my own restaurant. I still like cooking. I think I would've hated the hours and management part of it. Been a chemist for over 20 years and cooking has it's chemistry moments, so I'll stick with this.

Would also love to own and operate a butcher shop, along with a grill supply/grilling offshoot. Haven't given up on this...
