>what do you want to be when you grow up?
what did you used to say?
Fighter pilot. Currently a NEET.
>>26008920
> whatever I have to be to get a mansion
Now I write software and oversee projects. Gonna start my own company some day.
>>26008920
Conductor
My mom told me how I was super obsessed with trains as a kid
I do remember one time taking all the VHS tapes and making a long"freight train" line from the kitchen to my roomwhat I wouldn't give to be a kid again
I used to say I wanted to be a vet
inside I unironically wanted to be a prolific serial killer, and 6 year old me thought being a vet would be a good cover for learning anatomy and having access to sedatives, I was very, very edgy
Fighter Pilot or Investment Banker.
I resell books.
Astronaut or archaeologist.
Now I'm a dishwasher.
I wanted to play video games all day. And I still am.

>>26009088
Please mentor me. I'm having a hard time learning the more advanced concepts of Java. Please!
I always just made up some bullshit like veterinarian because I like animals (who doesn't). I don't really have a passion or talent for anything, so I don't really want anything more than to sit on my ass and play video games.
>novelist
a shame the market is completely oversaturated and you don't have a good shot at anything even if an agent likes your manuscript unless you're actually good
emperor of the world, drug dealer or a billionaire.
>>26008920
When I was a toddler, I'd narrowed it down to three choices. I wanted to be either a dinosaur, a housecat, or Batman.

I wanted to be an astronaut.
Currently a music ed major once I realized I'm fucking useless.
>>26009211
Sure, the company I work for charges $150/hr for my services. If you got the green, I'll be there.
I always said I wanted to be an adventurer. Then they told me it wasn't a job.
>Theoretical Particle Physicist. I still want to be a Theoretical Particle Physicist.
Getting my associates in Engineering. I'll make it there slowly but surely.
Same thing I say now.
I dunno.
>>26009127
Same here, actually. Surprised I'm not an aspie/autist.
Honestly I don't even know anymore. Around 7th grade I was pretty sure I would kill myself soon so I stopped caring about ever achieving anything and here I am..
>>26008920
astrophysicist
thats not happening anymore
>>26008920
never had an answer
Did used to read a lot and, sometimes thought I could be a writer. Felt like an idiot for reading hoity-toity shit like Ulysses and Brothers Karamazov in high school. Always knew I wasn't cut out for it.
Can't stand writing or reading anything nowadays, despite having all the time in the world.
I wanted to be the ruler of the world, but I know now that I can't even be the ruler of my own being.
>>26008920
Aeronautical engineer when I was really young and didn't know that shit entailed being good at math.
Then a writer. Not because I enjoy it per se, but because I'm good at it.
Now I write for a living.
I wanna die.

firetrain driver
I told people I wanted to write books
At 7, I said astronaut
At 15, I said it didn't matter so I would become a homeless man
Army man!!
and i did it for 4 years. no real future in it if you like having working limbs and joints after 30. currently in a job so far from soldierin' its laughable.but i like it anyway
I always wanted to work as a toy designer at Lego
>>26011249
is it a bad living?
I actually could never figure out what I wanted to be until at least my twenties. I still don't understand why I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life for so long.
I wanted to be an inventor.
Guess what isn't happening.
Artist, then computer maker, video game designer and then cardiologist. Honestly, I could still do all but college has made me realize I'm too dumb for med school. Currently working as a pharm tech and attending grad school.
>>26008920
I was a norman up until the point in which I was asked this question. For as much a 5/6 year old can be anyway. I said I wanted to be a skateboarderas was the fad at the time, and the teacher was visibly annoyed, and said that she'd come back to me because skateboarding wasn't a proper job. I ended up saying fireman.
I never got a skateboard.
>>26008920
Animator
I must have been 10 years old when i had fully decided, played with claymation, stopmotion, flash and blender for years.
Finally quit last year when i had to give up and get on with my life.

That was until I came to know how hard college math is, nope fuck that I'll stick to jacking off to anime

>what do you want to be when you grow up?
happy
>>26008920
Depends on age, either a rockstar, film director, or writer.
To be a geneticist so I can bring dinosaurs back to life. I didn't fully accept it was impossible until I was almost 17. Now I don't know what to do with my life.
I wanted to get into economics at one point, but in high school I realized I didn't have the math skills necessary. Since that point my aspirations were really vague and now I don't really have any and I just want to die.
Wanted to be a movie star. Currently an artist major and a boxer. Inb4 most useless degree. So hoping my boxing one takes off.
>>26008920
Then: superhero
Now: supervillain
Musician, always what i've wanted to be and still do to this day. I reckon i've probably got the singing and songwriting ability to get somewhere with it as well
A philosopher.
I don't know why I ever thought it was possible.
Do any of you guys have the chance of achieving your dreams in the future?
Paleontologist. Because Jurassic Park.
Happy
>tfw
A weatherman
I used to say I wanted to be a comedian.
Didn't think my life would be worthy of such laughter, but the people are still laughing, I suppose.
Mission accomplished, right guys?
>>26008920
Samurai

Never really gave the same answer twice.
In hindsight, my pathological lying probably started even back then.
Id tell some women I wanted to be a nurse and theyd be all like AWWWWWW
or id say archeologist or astronomer or something
or sometimes really unusual ones like mushroom farmer, then I would make it into a game where I would think about what it would be like to be a mushroom farmer and try to convince them how awesome a life that would be.
Today I have told someone I taught my illiterate cousin how to read.
Completely untrue, but I thought, if he was illiterate, why would that have happened and what would I have done to fix it?
I also told someone that I do charity work raising money and awareness for programs to stop the ivory trade coming out of Africa. And all of the ways I find that rewarding and how I like showing people that doing donating time for something you're passionate about is never a chore...
Veterinarian before I knew I was allergic to cats and shedding dogs
wanted to work for the cia killing foreign threats
now I just like drinking and have a dead end labor job

d-did I fuck up guys?
>"Nothing, I just watch to watch television all day"
They all said it would never happen, that I would have to get real, stop being silly, and pull my socks up. But 20 years later here I am, never had a job and spending every day watching anime and doing nothing productive at all. I wish I could the look on that bitch Miss Taylors face that she was completely wrong.
Pro sports player. Fucking hated practice. Gonna be a computer science programming weeb instead.
At a younger age - soccer player

In Kindergarten it was an Archaeologist due to my fascination with bones and dinosaurs.
In third grade, it was a Shark Biologist.
In fifth, it was a FBI Agent. ( Which funny enough, thats what my cousin winded up doing. )
In middle school onward I drowned myself in video games and thought game designer. Fortunately I was involved in a few game design communities online at that time so that helped pushed my understanding of it, and I actually took a Python class in HS.
Now at 21, I'm doing Game Design as a means to make some easy money and have fun with it. Also studied up on the game industry, and learned a lot about it and the processes and the financial aspect of it as an indie studio at 20. Run a somewhat popular website too, and I'm an author on top of it for novels ( always had a talent for writing and worldbuilding. )
Turned out better than expected growing up. I get loads of free-time between game design projects, which actually take up a lot more time than one person would think.

Write book, get a blog site/author website, get some followers, write about your book and trials, ect, self publish. Rinse, recycle, repeat, and boom. You'll have enough of an following for agencys to contact you and take you in. Expect your profits to only be about 9% per sale with a publishing agency though.
>>26011288
Nice going man. What job?
>>26011263
How is that going?
>>26015692
I like posters like this
>>26015928
Ones who care about other people?
>>26008920
I wanted to be a sailor on a freight bat
>tfw annoying job writting software
>>26015941
Yeah. It's refreshing to know that someone went out of their way to give a fuck.
I honestly said I hoped i would be dead.
>>26016033
And yet here you are.
Get out there and follow your dreams
>>26011851
That was kinda cute 2bh
>>26011527
Kek, you know there are other options out there right
>>26009557
why the fuck are you doing an associate's in engineering if you want to contribute to theoretical particle physics.
You need math nigger. Lots and lots of math.
>>26008920
Garbage man. I'm currently an owner of two businesses.
inventor/scientist as a young child
too bad i'm a lazy retard
>>26016314
What businesses, man? How much do you make?
I'd like to be an entrepreneur like you.
>>26016287
Exactly. This faggot is essentially saying, "I'm going to take a left," then goes right. I'm not even sure if he knows what he's doing.
>>26016061
One day, hopefully soon.
First I'm gonna drain wagecuck money tho
>>26016336
Software development and network security. I'm about to start another company in entertainment, but it is online based.
You can do it, man. All it takes is a fuck ton of work and a lot of discipline. At the moment, I've been feeling extremely unmotivated and feel like shit about it. Other than that, business is better than ever.
I always wanted to be a mad scientist.
now I hate physics and chemistry.
I wanted to be a lion tamer.
Currently I wax people's genitals and am a Donald Trump supporter. Pretty close, honestly.
>>26013182
Dude my techer in 1st grade would let me go to the "big kids" section in the library and i would read for hours about different types of dinosaurs. Now im a neet and i havent wanted to die more.
>>26008920
A judge in the Supreme Court, haha silly me thinking I would ever stoop down to their level.
>>26016384
Good on you anon. Don't feel like shit about it, you did something most people (read: wagecucks) only dream about. That takes drive.
I've been considering going back to school and getting a degree in cybersecurity, a new major a nearby university offers. Would you recommend it? Do you make bank on securing networks of businesses?
>>26009379
What company
>>26008920
Internet systems admin./game designer
On my way to becoming a fighter pilot
Life is mysterious
>>26016477
>Would you recommend it?
Eh, the only thing it will do is prove that you're at least a _little_ knowledgeable in these fields. Although, the best thing to do is try to acquire as much experience as possible.
>Do you make bank on securing networks of businesses?
If you have more experience, it can justify your dollar amount. I mostly do consultations and charge an arm and a leg for my expertise. I've been doing this since I was 12.
I wanted to be a big guy when I grew up
I turned out to be a manlet
>>26016693
>wanted to be 6 foot 8 so I could play in the NBA
>only 6'2
>>26009234
I wanted to be a king of a small region. I thought it was more realistic. Then in preschool the prince in our Snow White performance was more well liked and it killed my dreams.
I wanted to be a wizard
I'm well on my way
>>26009214
Wanna hang out?
>>26016902
I was pretty sure I'd hit wizard, then in the last 2 years my luck turned and I even ended up having sex multiple times, andI didn't like it, turns out its overrated
>>26008920
>A Iittle bit of everything
