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

No judgement here, I was dead set on the idea of being a tiger when I grew up until an older sibling shattered that dream for me.

After that I went through a string of things, the most memorable being lawyer, writer, and psychologist. Currently doing a degree in psychology, but kind of wishing I had done something related to writing, so I'm now trying to figure out how to potentially combine the two.

Just continue on and get your Ph.D in psychology, and then go into research and start writing papers.

I wanted to be on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins. Then I thought when I was old enough I would travel the country side and bury all the roadkill.

Then in high school I decided I wanted to design roller coasters. So I started taking sciences and maths When I graduated though I was in over-party mode and decided it would be a waste of money and time to go to university cause I wouldn't apply myself. I planned on taking a year or 2 then go back...10 years later I went to SAIT for MET. I don't design roller coasters but I work in engineering and design so it worked out okay.

I did, for a while at least (in the career capacity). I always loved planes and wanted to be a pilot. However for a while in Junior High I actually toyed with the idea of engineering, but quickly came to my senses.

It wasn't until after High School I went for my original dream and started working on my pilots license. A couple of years later I was instructing here in Calgary. However I left it for the stability and security of the family business, fully knowing that I could always rent a plane and just enjoy flying around.

For me the realization was that I loved flying, not doing it as a job. So ultimately I was happy with my decision to leave the career in it.

A pro wrestler and a monster truck driver. I may have had a chance at a pro wrestler, being of a decent size and fairly athletic. As for a monster truck driver, I had/ have no interest in mechanics and stuff, but still wild love to get bend the wheel of one one day.
