[Duke]

I wanted to be a shark

I am also nowhere near it. I'm a human

I don't think i'll ever be a shark


Deeply unhappy with the whole situation

 

[dilla]

I was hoping for real answers, Duke. I was hoping those people I thought were fucksies on here could shed some light on who they really were.

So was that your final answer?

He was telling the truth.

Wanted to be a footballer...

I am now in history, so nowhere close.

I will likely never be a pro footballer, but I can always play it with friends or an amateur team, also ... I can always work with something involving the sport... which I'd like to.

I'm happy since I also love history

PS: Duke's dream was better, who wouldn't want to be a shark. The next best thing to that is a flying squirrel, no doubt.

i told people "youll see me in the world cup or in the olympics"

none of these have happened. not ruling out special olympics tho.

i work in marketing, and help companies develop strategies to make people see value in a product / service when it doesn't really exist.

i am not entirely happy, but i'm not sure what i needa do to be happy. im thinkin of further studies , gettin a Masters or some shit

i wanted to be a pilot when i was very young and a footballer all the way up until my late teens when i realised it wasnt gonna happen. I live close to an airport and had a interest in airplanes so thats why i wanted to be a pilot.

i have two honours degrees in construction related areas and i have worked in that area so i guess not.

football is out of the question now lol but who knows i might learn to fly a plane sometime.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a football player, then a military strategist. When I got a bit older (like maybe 11 or 12) I wanted to do IT.

Now I study IT/Business. I found out that strictly IT is not for me and that childhood dreams are silly mostly because only with time you find out how those "dream professions" really are and if you like really doing it instead of liking the outcome of that job.
Sticking with one despite seeing how shitty it is is a bit silly.

Anyways I think I like it. There's nothing else I like more, I'm good at what I'm doing (at least at the university) and I hope that I'll work at some IT company or at least in some IT-related section of a company I'd really like and support.

I'm somewhere in between being ok and happy. I guess I'm proud of myself but I'm not as happy as I know I could be (but don't know how to) but I'm relatively happy. Not "wow ohh fuck yeah!" type of happy though. It's "happy" without that great deal of positive emotion.

I wanted to be a doctor or at least in the medical field. After working in the medical field I'll never go back. Admire the ppl that do though. I want to go back to engineering since I have at least some experience, know what to expect and it's still relevant to the job I have now. I'll probaby never be completely happy with one job forever. I get bored...I like to change a lot.

When I was younger, I didn't want to be anything other than what I already was - a musician and songwriter. I composed and wrote my first song at the age of 8. I wanted to continue to do that in a professional context.

I made it happen. I will still be doing it professionally for the rest of my life. And I'm incredibly happy generally, but in some areas I am never happy, as I am a perfectionist and I'm always chasing the ability to write a song better than the last. Like a Terminator, that's my mission and I do not have the ability to deviate from it.

 

[Synful*Luv]

I wanted to be a veterinarian.
Nowhere near it.. I'm in the IT field.
Um.. probably nowhere near it still.
I'm not completely happy about that. NO.

Here's the thing.. I can't stand to see injured animals. It's heartbreaking and I'm just not strong enough to handle that everyday. I did rescue work for awhile and it was awful.. I'd have nightmares.. come home and cry myself to sleep.. I just can't deal with seeing injured animals at the hands of cruel people.. I know as a veterinarian.. it wouldn't necessarily be all bad.. but I would want to do work for a ASPCA or some sort of rescue and I wouldn't be able to handle that. SO unfortunately no. I'm not ecstatic about it but I understand it and my own personal limitations. I just still try to help out when I can.. with homing.. rehabilitation, donations of food and other necessities... etc.

What did you want to be growing up?

A time traveller

Where are you in relation to it now?

What do you mean by "now?"

In relation to it now, where will you be in the future?

Umm...in the past. Usually.



(Note: this was a serious answer.)

Didn't you want to be a doctor, possibly even made it to med school but left? I thought I remember you saying that when people asked you why you knew so much about health-related issues.

 

[Little Skittle]

I used to want to be a lawyer.

I have one more year of undergrad and then I'm starting law school, but I don't want to be a lawyer anymore. I'm going for sports law and hope to become a sports agent or gm. I also want to eventually write a novel.

Hopefully I'll never be a lawyer.

You wanna be an agent like Ari Gold, just with athletes and not movie stars? Nice. I secretly wanna be Ari Gold as well.

haha I grew up on american detective films so I thought it'd be cool to be an FBI or CIA agent/analyst. That lasted till like age 12. When it actually came time to be seriously considered for an analyst position, I realized that's not the kind of strict career I want to be in. Since 12, I didn't think of it anymore as a dream career or profession, but more like what kind of life I'd be living, what I would know and learn, what experiences I would have had, and what my contribution to society would be. There's about 2-3 scenarios that come up.

 

[dilla]

So what're you doing now? Last I heard it was business-related. Finance? Accounting? Something....
