What did you want to be?

[RiO]

This topic idea stemmed from the last 2 threads that caught my attention, one was closed by the thread starter after he took my advice of getting into goat herding.

Back to the original question, what did you want to be when you were young? Don't be afraid or try to impress people, mummy and daddy are not going to read this... if you wanted to be a bollywood actor rubbing up on those actresses it's fine, just say it - nobody will judge you.

I had always wanted to be a fighter pilot until a neighbor, who served in the IAF for over a decade, described his life. That changed my mind overnight and I decided I wanted to make it in the music industry, which I'm still working on

Power always attracted me. To be honest , i always wanted to be a bhai aka DON but i wanted to use my power to help the needy and fight off evil. I wanted to be so powerful that even the government would be afraid of me. The Media would glamorize me , in short ... a lot like Munnabhai or sarkar

Even today i am fascinated by power. Today , the only legal way i see to attain power is if i become an IAS/IPS Officer. I am working on it , i know its not easy but you gotta have some goal , rite ? Lets see how it goes.

I always wanted to become a scientist when I was a kid.

Had great interest in Chemical reactions (Collected/bought chemicals and performed experiments some of which had disastrous results like explosions of bottles, poisonous gas inhalation like Carbon Monoxide on one occasion and Chlorine on another), breaking open electrical/electronic/mechanical devices to see how they work, building stuff with motors/springs etc and a bit of botany (injecting chemicals into plants to see what happens or trying to cross breed two plants :ashamed: ). In fact I was nicknamed scientist and mad scientist by some of my friends and class-mates.

I decided I wanted to be an Electronics Engineer when I was in the 5th standard.

I saw computer in my life for the first time when I was in the 7th standard (1992). It was an IBM 80186 Machine which used a 5.25" Floppy disk for booting. Got hooked into computers for life. Though I got option for both Electronics and Computers in B.Tech, I preferred to take Computer Science.

Messa wanted to be a physicist and mathematician. Wanted to do research in high energy and particle physics. Still hurts a lot whenever I reminisce the things I read and forgot :'(
The internet is just a consolation for trying to keep learning and reminding myself that I will make a difference.

During my 1st and 2nd grade, I wanted to be a road-roller driver; :ashamed:

Eventually my interest shifted to JCBs and CAT earth-movers and wanted to be a driver for those; :ashamed: That I guess was during my 3rd grade;

Damn, mom n dad still remembers ^^^ and makes fun of me at times;

Then by the 5th grade, I wanted to be a pilot after I got a sneak-peak into the cockpit of some Indian Airlines airplane; ;P

Bah now after all this, I'm finally a mechanical engineer which I wanted to be after my 10th grade;
