Childhood and early teens: paleontologist.
Early teens onward: writer/novelist.
I'm pretty happy that I've been able to achieve that second one, though would certainly like to have more success at it. Right now I'm nearing the end of a stay-at-home-dad phase in my life and have been starting to think about what I want to do with the next phase of my life (and I'm reluctant to go back to the sort of office desk job I had previously). This thread is a good reminder to me that I'm already well on my way to living my dream job, I just need to dedicate myself to it more than I have in the past.
