How do pitchers become relievers vs starters. Do they all start off dreaming to be a starting pitcher? Also, how can starting pitchers go so much longer than relievers.

In most cases yes to best relievers.
Probably most pitchers start off dreaming of being starters.
Think of it like the difference between sprinters and long distance runners. Sort of. Not that extreme but same kind of idea. Relieves generally go balls out while starters are more endurance.
