People always ask kids who or what they want to be when they grow up, but how many of us end up doing the job?
For me, as a young kid I always liked the idea of being a fireman. To this day, it's one of the traditional type jobs that I think I wouldn't mind doing.
That being said, from about age 19 I left my country to live abroad and, basically, that was it. There was to be no trad path for me in any way, shape or form.
I also remember in my teens thinking it would be cool to have a video store, ah the naivete.
How about you stackers? did life get in the way or did you grow up to live the dream?

Being a Firefighter would be pretty rewarding, and there is a kind of camaraderie that cannot be found anywhere else.
As a kid, I liked to tinker with electronics, so wanted to be an electrical repairman of some sort.

Sincerely, since I was a child I fascinated the idea of ​​flying planes, I grew up near an air base and always listened to the aircraft to take off. When I grew up I stopped that to do that I had to do a military career, and that was all to leave it behind.
My soul is always longing to live free, and I felt that a military career and deliver my life and effort to the State would not be of my liking for the long term.
It was when I discovered, that I was not born to fly, that was an illusion of a child.
I was born to be a pirate y🦜 🏴‍☠️ sailing free for life without belonging to the traditional system.
