What did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five, I wanted to be in Pan's People (giving the age away a bit there...), then I realised I couldn't dance very well and wasn't glamorous enough.

When I was 13, I wanted to be a sports journalist, then I realised you have to make up most of the stories, and I was too honestly brought up for that.

So now I'm in marketing...

    Footballer or lazy git ,or both.

    Regrettably succeeding in the second one, put paid to getting anywhere with the first one!! :-(

    Now I just don't want to grow up at all and would be happy to spend all day doing radio because I found out far too late that I actually love it, but it doesn't pay the bills so I'm stuck doing mega boring stuff like most of the population.

    Footballer, when that dream died it was to be involved in football in some capacity, that didn't materialise so i'm stuck as a Railway Engineer!

    He's a little bit older than me. 6 years I think. This was when I was a spotty teenage fanzine writer.

    Guitarist in a band...gave up 'the dream' aged 24 when we still weren't signed, so I got a job at a record company instead...

    Lack of focus in my 'career' is one of my regrets - seems to be that everyone I know / went to school with is much more successful (materially) and happy in their work than I am :-(

    A footballer or lead guitarist in a noisy rock band, then as I grew a little a fireman (so I am half of one of the three and the one that does not pay shed loads of cash)
