| Topic | How far off are you from where you imagined yourself as a child? |
| ForsakenHermit 07/20/20 1:48:32 PM #82: | Amazingly far off. As a kid my dream was to make video games for a living and by make video games I mean give broad ideas of what the games would be and bark orders at underlings. My struggles with math post arithmetic slowly soured that dream before taking computer programming classes in high school killed it for good. After that I thought about becoming a history teacher and then a librarian but both goals had pitfalls. The history teacher concept was rejected by a combination of an over saturated pool of applicants and a realization that teaching was harder than I thought. As for the librarian idea doing it at a school or university was more trouble than it was worth and being a public one meant having to find a small city at the very least and that meant moving away which I didn't want to do despite thinking it was a good idea as a kid. I also thought some of the issues I had as a child would evaporate when I grew up hut that didn't happen. Despite that I'm not despondent or unhappy just not where I thought I would be. --- Beware the fanatic!
