What did you want to be when you were a kid, how much has that changed?

then: Diamond miner :D

now: animal caretaker




(I'm only seventeen, so I still haven't started a steady career yet. I'm thinking of Physicist. Something with numbers :D)

Well, I wanted to be a truck driver, chemist, and banker. Now I want to be a psychologist.

When I was young, I wanted to be a bus driver.

I still want to be a bus driver. Confused

Now I have no career plan.

The manga artist thing still sounds really appealing actually, but I've heard it's a difficult business to break into, and I'm worried that my art isn't good enough.

You have family in Idaho? That's awesome!

Hehe, my brother likes fires too, though he plans on joining the Marine Corps when he's old enough.

I think you're just being too hard on yourself.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor. Now I'm not sure exactly what I want to do. I am in Simulation and Game Design but I'm finding it isn't all it's cracked up to be. I wanted to story board but they're making me do programming which I am not good with at all. Mad

I didn't waste my time though, I got an English and Gen. Psych out of the way. Very Happy

Funny you say that, because today I've felt like my life has no direction or purpose. I could just be having an off day though.
