Kiri 7,288 August 27, 2022 Share August 27, 2022 When I was a child, my aspirations were all over the place. I remember wanting to be a vet, a fashion designer, a chemist, or a professional artist. Most likely, I had other phases as well. Sometime during adolescence, I realized that my true passion was mental health, so that’s the field I’m in today.

Winter Storm 237 June 26, 2023 Share June 26, 2023 Honestly I never really could find a specific career aim or goal for myself as a kid. I had no idea what I wanted to do or be. Even now I just work at what I fell into and am decent at instead of out of any sort of passion for my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Equine 51,384 July 2, 2023 Share July 2, 2023 When I was a kid, no one pressured me to be anything, so I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to be. My answer would change from year to year. Some of which were just hilariously ridiculous. But at some point in my early teen years, household computers became an increasingly more common thing. The internet became a thing. The digital age and the unlimited possibilities that computer technology could bring became a thing! And I was was having so much fun on computers and learning the world within, than I decided that was what I wanted to do with my life. Computers. I wanted to learn to be a programmer. To develop amazing computer software skills, work in an office building, make big money doing what I do, and so on~! No one told me I actually needed at least SOME experience programming before I pursue such a future. As such, when I tried to taking programming classes in college, it was too late for me. The classes were small and all the students there had prior experience. They were moving ahead of me quickly. And the teachers were NO help either! Other teachers would bend over backwards to help you after class, do half your homework, ANYTHING to make sure you actually understood the material and didn't get left behind! These programming teachers? NOPE! Figure it out for yourself. Even when I came to them, BEGGING for help, I got absolutely nothing. Had to drop out of that and switch majors. I went for a business major instead, even though an aptitude test STRONGLY suggested I get some kind degree in English or Creative Writing. But it's not like I can't get super close to that goal. I guess I could get a job for a cell phone service provider, or a TV/Phone/Internet provider. I also have a talent for videos and video editing. I suppose if I really wanted, I could work for a television studio or something... Speaking of, I avoided getting that English major because I didn't want to spend my life trying to write novels or anything like that. Just didn't seem like a future I'd be happy with. Then again, maybe I should have embraced that after all. Who knows, with such a degree, I might have gone on to help write or create the stories for some really great movies or TV shows!

Iforgotmybrain 5,661 July 13, 2023 Share July 13, 2023 I wanted to be a veterinarian until about 12, decided against it because I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle the emotional stress that comes with it. So then I wanted to be a pilot. Pilot is still pretty much my dream job but it's also unobtainable so... I settled for software engineer. Yeah... I shouldn't have settled for software engineer. I think at this point I would've been better off being a vet regardless of the debt or stress, at least it would've been something I was passionate about, and something that would've actually been a net positive for society.

When I was about 4 or so my parents said I wanted to be a dog. Which I always think is a precursor to me being a furry later in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
