Have you managed your childhood dream?

[raf_gti]

When I were a lad my dream was to become either a civil engineer or a car designer. Unfortunately being st at drawing and lazy in maths & physics soon put a stop to that little fantasy! Whilst I had an interest in the RAF after attending the Leuchars airshow most years I'm still not sure if it was actually a dream to join up.

So, have you managed yours?

[Tycho]

Yep, I get paid to watch telly and sit on my arse all day drinking coffee.


TBH it's not as good as I thought it would be when I was 10...

Unfortunately I never did score the winner in the FA cup final, nor did I ever open the batting for England. I never got to fly Thunderbird 2 nor did I ever receive an answer from any of my letters to Jenny Hanley.

Like my Teachers always said....Must try harder young man :sad:

Porsche...yes
Felicity Kendal....no

Plenty of time for that yet

[Hedders]

Nope, My only real career goal was to be a diver. That dream was scuppered at 16yrs old when the navy declined to train me so i could go and get rich working for the oil companies and retire at 30

Selfish turds.

My chosen career is not that of astronaut. Therefore no.

Unfortunately not, my application for X-Wing fighter pilot training college wasn't successful.

I had 2 'dreams'

From young age I wanted to be an accountant - which I tried but changed careers.


From late teens I wanted to visit Australia which I did and had a great time.

I just wanted simple stuff when I was a kid, wanted to be self employed preferably (or "be my own boss" without knowing the ins and outs of self employment at a very young age) , buy a house, and have a motorcycle and a dog and live in peace.

Priorities have since changed, however I have the motorcycles that I enjoy, and although I didn't end up buying a choice, I am renting a really nice place.

Would still like a dog (and landlord would allow it), but its too much hassle right now, and because I am away from the house a lot, unfair on the dog.

Seems a bit of a small dream compared to others on here wanting to be test pilots and astronauts

[hooperpride]

When I was younger I always wanted to be a dustbin man, sorry refuse collector. I am yet to realise this but judging by the way my degree is going I would happily snap up the opportunity if it arose.

I always wanted to be a vet. Now I'm training to be a doctor. So I'll never achieve that dream...but I'm pretty much still hoping for the husband, kids, country mansion, horses, super cars and helicopter (I'm only 21!).

[oldbanger]

Work-wise, no

I wanted to be a lorry driver, a musician or a scientist. I tried the science route, it didn't pay well, and I didn't have the stomach for all the studying I still needed to do to get anywhere.

[HOGEPH]

I wanted to fly helicopters. I've been doing it for 22 years now.

Yet to taste Cheryl Cole's hairy axe wound so no
