When I grow up

Easy thread, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a fireman which I got to be a few years ago, but other then that I didn't really have an idea.

I always wanted to be a detective until I left school & decided I wanted a more versatile career so I did my apprenticeship as an upholsterer but should have gone in the civil service like I was advised to at the time.

Young & impetuous like most kids today eh?

Same deal here. Luckily I get to do it, not for a living, but at least I get free rides in the vintage racing world. Most of the time my real work is the daily grind which is far from my childhood dreams.

I wanted to be a "cleaner" now they have some interesting work...

i must say that the one thing i did know i didn't want to be was a soldier...

my father was Army, WO2 when he retired, and i was so over the regimental base life by the age of 10 that i was never gonna be military... plus taking orders is something i'm not very good at

I must admit, the military life-style is not for everyone.
