What you wanted to become and What you became? (In life)

Hai,

What you wanted to become and What you became? (In life)

I wanted to become an archaeologist and I ended up becoming an Advocate.

Hey.
This is more like FML thread.
I wanted to become a kickass midfielder and then eventually a assist master, in football. Now, I am just struggling to a get a job in IT field.

Hmm, well I wanted to be a lazy arse doing absolutely nothing but gaming and now having to look after a friggin business. Dream never comes true

I wanted to become Computer engineer and I have become that. But now i want to save enough money so that I can open my own restaurant in future.

I wanted to become the Fund Manager and I am the Fund Manger now.

^^ Atleast someone got what they wanted to.

I wanted to become Astronaut. But then I realize I loved to be a silent 'observer' and so thought maybe I would become a scientist. But then my grades slapped a mirror on my face. I was no good in 'science'.

Later I realized I thought like an artist. I liked to write things. Maybe I could have become a writer. Or a painter perhaps. After all I loved drawing when I was a child and also did good.

But then reality hit me and wanted to settle with Software Engineer. Later I became one. But I am not doing anything I would "like" doing in my field and hope I do get back on track soon.

i did not know what to become, and i still don't know what i have become.

i hope you are now in human form.

I wanted to become an Automobile Engineer, then I wanted to become a Computer Engineer.
I became Physical Therapist.
Now I want to become Anthropologist, I'm trying to and researching a bit.
God knows what I want to become, Later on.

I wanted to become a grown up man minding his own life, now that I have become one - I just want to go back to being a kid

My back hurts, can you take a look at it?

When I was around 5-6 years old. I wanted to be a Railway engine driver.

When I was around 12-13 years old, i wanted to be a scientist/researcher/inventor.

When I was around 14-16 years old, I wanted to be a computer engineer.

Therefore, I have followed that last career path and now I am a software developer.

Rarely we see people becoming what they want to become when they were asked as children otherwise we might see a lot of Pilots XD
I see it has also to do with the educational system.In Indian educational system we are asked to choose in between medicine/engineering/commerce etc after std X.There is not much jumping back to other(not sure if all follow this same, atleast I did).In US educational system, when you get to undergraduate(4 year degree), the first 2 years are common for all the medicine/engineering guys and after 2nd year they choose the field that they seemed to be interested in.The other thing I noticed is that when compared to India, US people tend to change jobs according to their level of satisfaction/money, these changes are as extreme as from engineering to medicine or vice versa.A person I know had a degree in anthropology, but he worked with apple in the 80's(i guess), then got C.S degree then worked in the photography industry and so on.I see a lot of aged(40+) joining PT assistant 2 year associate degrees, since most of them where discontant with the salary that they used to get with their previous jobs.On comparison there isn't much of a taboo associated with changing jobs.

Full time.

It was 97, I got my hands on my friend's elder brother's Mindware and Playware CDs
I was really attracted to that and that's when I decided I wanted to be a part of it
After 12th science, I convinced my parents to let me take up Journalism
I sent an email to Digit editor in 2008. After six months, got a reply, and was hired as soon as I graduated.
Worked there for 2 1/2 years, and one of the highlights of my job was that I got to make the DVDs!
Then I left to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Did courses in game design, and multimedia technologies.

Then I joined Tech2, and after about a year and a half, came back to Digit. Realised I had already figured out exactly what I wanted to do in life.

In age of web, I'm very glad to still be a part of print.
