So there's my question. lol. What did you want to be when you were younger? You know ... like when they ask you at school what you wanna be when you grow up?

What are you doing now?

I'll start. smile.gif
I wanted to be a fashion designer. No joke. I used to draw ALL the time. I also wanted to be a teacher.

I am doing neither although sometimes I do wonder if I should still go into art. I currently work at a phone card company. Yes. Phone cards. sleep.gif I do EVERYTHING. Inventory, activations, bill pay, customer service, bank deposits, and so forth...

What about you guys?

Engineer.
I used to tear electronics apart including: remotes, VHS, TV, phones, stereos, the whole nine yards.
Then I found out that real engineers are good at MAKING things, not destroying them.

I'm an accountant now, working with engineers on a daily basis.

I wanted to be a cartoonist and then a film director and then a musical producer. The latter I actually was for a time being, although an independent one. I also was a web designer. Currently, I'm a variable writer.

I've actually gotten to enjoy it lately. I freaking hated it while taking it in school but in the workplace, its a lot different. I have a pretty good job and it pays decent. And I'm in a unique position where I work in software but I actually get to work with women. Which is healthy considering that most software jobs involves working exclusively with men.

I have no girlfriend and no social life so any contact with women is welcome.

LOL... im sorta glad there's no girls in the workplace. well, we do have women, just none that are young and distracting. im in a good place too... startup tech company where i get to play with the latest technology AND have the option to expand on the business side. my options have opened up, enough to be ok with no raise [got options instead].

for girls... i have bookstores, friends, bars and just random people. i was at the gym the other day and found the gym to be another awesome spot. it's a plus they're all fit and lookin good!

When I was little, in elementary school, I wanted to be a detective. In highschool I wanted to be a model, which I fulfilled.

But today, I work in IT.

Now, coincidentally, I'm eating ice cream!

I always wanted to work for the FBI / CIA and almost applied for their internship...until I realized it was entirely unpaid.

Currently in grad school...for something totally unrelated.

You wanna hook a brother up? I need a new J.O.B. lol.

I guess I'm one of the odd ones when I was younger. I wanted to be a Olympic Gold Metal Gymist and a Pro Figure Skater. I think after that I also wanted to be a musician and a chemist.
