When I was a kid, I wanted to be an archeologist, a cartoonist, a writer, an astrophysicist, an astronaut. A computer computer programmer. I guess I did become one of those

I do want to ask about the nun and the professional wrestler. That is quite the interesting pair. And I think the professional wrestling probably would set you up for a good career in politics these days. But for for me, it depended on the season. In the summer it was professional baseball player all the way in the winter professional basketball player. And I am convinced that if the NBA played games on my childhood driveway, then I would be All Star for sure

So as a kid, I wanted to be a pilot early on. And then as I headed to my twins, I wanted to become a video game programmer. As luck would have it, I got to pursue both of them and became really successful with the latter

I should clarify. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a nun who was also a pro wrestler because I thought that was a pretty lethal combination

Growing up in New Jersey, I always wanted to be a quarterback for the New York Giants and or the middle linebacker for the New York Giants. When I went to high school, my coach made me an offensive center and a defensive tackle. I could never understood how he misjudged my talents

I don't think I would ever have imagined what I had become now as a kid. It just wasn't within my radar. But I do think that I've become who I am. And I do what I do because I was that kid who was not who wanted to be but was. And I think it allows me to step back

Oceanographer

Oh, these are also interesting. And Alastair, I think I know your kids, and they're so lucky to have a dad that believes in magic and imagination. They're so blessed. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an oceanographer. I was fascinated by everything that squiggled under the sea

Well, this one is a very inviting Spala, so everyone will have other own passion towards what they need to become in their childhood days. When when I was a kid, I wanted to become a civil engineer. My uncle was a civil engineer. He used to take me to the construction sites and I admire the work that is being done there. So at that time I wanted to be a civil engineer. So then later on I want to become a yoga teacher

When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a doctor. But more than anything, I think I wanted to be an adult. I wanted to be a grown up. I thought grown ups were happy all the time. I mean, they had money. They could would buy all the ice cream and candy that they could ever eat. They also did not have a fixed bedtime so they could watch TV as long as they want. Well, guess what?

When I was a kid. To be honest, I never dreamed of how I'm going to be or my future will be. But my father used to say like you will be IAS or IPS, but I never thought of to become an IAS or IPS rather than I used to focus on my studies like to get good marks. Days were gone. After that I completed my higher education and I went to College. From there I started get more interest towards programming algorithms and data structure

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a scientist, just like Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. I used to read. I used to collect comic books a lot. When I was a kid, I and Reed Richards was my favorite character. As far as I thought he was the smartest. He seemed like he could figure anything out. He was disciplined in awe disciplines of science. And I just thought that was cool. And I want it to be the same way

@alasdair - thank you. Among my imaginary friends there were no job titles.

If I was ever asked the question, and I think it came up frequently given the psychoanalytic bent of a lot of my parents, friends and themselves what I wanted to be in the future, I know I had a clever answer for them, probably audience dependent, and I was very good at coming off as the smart little boy who had a direction, so no one had to worry about him. It's a dangerous question in a way to ask a kid

I'm going to be the boring one here. When I was a kid, I was told to be a doctor. Let me rephrase it again. Let me rephrase it again. When I was a kid, I old to be a doctor. So basically, I really did not even realize if I wish to be anything at that time. So being an obedient child tried my level best to be one. There you have it

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a couple of different things. It's I started out as wanted to be a lawyer because I thought for some reason that that was a glamorous job. And then I slowly learned that it wasn't as glamorous as I thought thought it would be. And then as I gone to kind of my preteen years, my priorities shifted a little bit, and I wanted to be the drummer for Molly Crue. That was my big dream

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a CSI crime investigator or somebody who studied murder scenes. I don't know. It was a weird obsession. I completely washed lawn order NCIS CSI growing up that was like my go to nightly ritual was to watch those at a super young age, probably starting from the age of eight or seven

When I was a kid, I wanted to be one of those girls that sit on the foul pole lines at a Dodger game, playing catch with the people that are playing in the outfield or chasing down foul balls that the players themselves did not want to get. Being a softball player, it was just my dream. I saw those girls sitting on the sidelines, and I was just like I wanted to be that girl. But I'm not. And then I wanted to be an MRI technician

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a lot of things, but the main thing that I think that stood out at various points in my life early on, I know I definitely wanted to be Luke Skywalker for awhile, and then at some point it transitioned over to either Superman for a while and then Batman. And then as I got older, I started playing sports. I really wanted to be starting point car with Los Angeles Lakers. Needless to say, that hasn't panned out

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a singer or chef. I used to sing all the time and thought I could really sing really good. And I like to Cook. I went to culinary school, but I never worked as a chef in the kitchen. But those techniques have come in handy with my family, so I guess it kind of worked out. I'm an unpaid chef, I guess
