Default What did you want to be when you were just a wee lad?

Back in Elementry I had dreams of becoming an astronaut. I was fascinated with rockets, space travel and most importantly man walking on the moon. Sci fi books and movies became an obcession that helped fuel my interest. I remember thinking there would be bases on the moon and that maybe I could get a job working in one of the them. Of course as a youth we can be sometimes niave about what is possible but ohhh the dreams I had back then.

So what dreams did you have as a youth?

I believed that I would play wide receiver in the NFL until I was about 14 and realized I can't run very fast.

Archaeologist.

I thought Indiana Jones was awesome. You find cool stuff. Shoot guns. Swing across stuff with your whip. Wear a cool hat.

This is pretty much my answer. Still love reading about Archaeology and anthropology.

I really had three aspirations when I was young. I wanted to be either an NHLer, a paleontologist or a fighter pilot. I am now currently none of those, past-kid-me would be highly disappointed.

I kind of figured I'd keep on riding my bike and playing street hockey with my friends, while someone else took care of me and made me food.

So far I'm not too chuffed with this whole adulthood thing.

I wanted to be a baseball player. I didn't have a back up plan though, hence why I ended up in such a crappy job.
