From about 12 I realised that I would probably end up in the public service and had the disposition, interests and skills that might be useful in that kind of job

Came in all khaki, slouch hat and all
literally too unfit to ever be one now
>>53511882
I wanted to become an engineer and do stuff and be part of bigger things. But now I am a loser who does nothing and get worse by the day.

Why not be a soldier? I think infantrymen in Mexico make like 500 USD per month. That's not bad money, in Mexico especially considering they house and feed you. You get to shoot narcos too.
I wanted to stay a kid forever.
LOOK AT THAT DREAM COME TRUE
Shitposter, like my dad
Living the dream folks
>always wanted to be a soldier
>uncle collects lots of stuff from ww2, mostly German because its what we obviously find in the old bunkers/unfinished mining tunnels
>school event when all the parents sit and we come out one by one dressed up as what we want to be

>I walk out in my army gear with an mp40 bb gun, full forest camo and over size for me (pic) on my head

>a jew wants to be something in hollywood
>can't
wtf
>>53513746
it's more about family ties
since hollywood is full of jews the odds of your californian jewish family having someone in the industry is over 400%
and they'll hire their nephew's wife's brother's son's husband over some other guy who shows more talent
Cubicle worker.
I am now. Sort of. They call this "open office space".
>>53513923
This. Also it's not necessarily about family ties. Just knowing specific people and not being an insufferable dick.
>>53511882
Bakery manager or truck driver.
>>53513464
There is still hope for you. They only get old men.
>>53511882
A scientist
I got my wish
Turns out it's a lot harder than I thought it would be and I'll probably never make very much money doing it
>>53511882
I wanted to be Super Saiyan.
>>53511882
A cop tbqh. I'm trying out this year though, getting in shape etc.
>inb4 people who don't get it, most likely Burgers
Police Academy here is a college degree, and it's actually hard to get in (about 8000 applicants for 500 spots/year). The pay is shit, but you won't find cops here who are fat, out of shape or who had shitty grades in high school.
>>53515825
No, instead we get women and immigrants to meet them QUOTAS!
>>53516057
They still have to pass everything to be accepted, and the physical strength requirements are nearly equal these days since they got butslammed in court for having lower reqs for women. But yeah, once you pass everything nigs and bitches get preference because "diversity", which sucks, but at least they're all qualified.

Employed.

>>53516497
>lowered
And the academic prerequisites were raised at the same time, and the physical prerequisites were lowered only marginally (you need to demonstrate that you posses decent physicla strength, stamina and endurance, if you're out of shape you won't make it, simple as that).
If anything, due to the increase in academic reqs it's harder to get in than ever, even if the physical side of it has been lowered slightly (basically you get the equivalent of 30 seconds more for the run these days)
Actor and singer
>>53516773
same here brother
I wanted to fly fighter jets.
>>53511882
Film Director or an Animator (I have no drawing abilities though) or a writer for tv/film.
A professional baseball player or a video game designer.
I'm not disappointed really. Especially with not becoming a game designer.
>>53511882
Same, then I got out of shape and now I can't clear the physical fitness tests.
>>53511882
Never really decided tbqh
>>53513125
Kids think irrational shit like that until they get to be about six or seven.
>>53511882
I wanted to be a voice actor
Engineer and general rich person.
Seems to be working out well. Particularly the whole paid in USD thing.
>>53515825
We have educated cops here as well but they only do it to get on the fast track to becoming a detective. Beat cops pretty much never even have an associate degree.
I always wanted to be an assassin
At heart I still know it's what I'd be best at.
I wanted to be a geologist
I grew up on documentaries (and cartoons) and the people they'd interview for documentaries were my heroes. I couldn't think of anything better than devoting myself to research and academia.
Now I'm a journalist, but it's also one or my passions so I'm happy
i wanted to be a woman
still wants
A pornstar
>>53511882
Non Japanese(or east aisan) teenager girl

>>53511882
I wanted to be a decent, well adjusted person.
I never achieved that dream.
Working people
I wanted to captain a cruise ship
>>53522799
That I did know, here the police academy itself is an associates degree, and to get in you need to of course be eligable for college (this means a passing grade in enough shit to actually get a diploma as well as at least passing grades in all core subjects from hs), additionally they require a passing grade in "advanced" English and Swedish from hs (the reasoning seems to be to ensure all cops can communicate with people from abroad, immigrants and tourists and the like, as well as be proficient enough in Swedish to write a professional, concise and judicially satisfactory report).
Still, the starting salary for a Constable (the lowest rank) is like $2500/month. Then after 4 years you automatically get bumped to Senior Constable (there's no actual difference, but you get a bar/chevron on your shoulder board) you get bumped to like $2800/month. But shit, even the national chief of police only makes like $8700/month
>>53511882
nothing really, right know I'd like to finish my career (electronic engineering) and maybe with my title get into a boat and sail away, or find a job and sustain myself
I've always wanted to become normal when I grow up, I've always wanted for my mental disorders to disappear when I grow up, but here I am today grown up and still mentally ill and nothing improved or changed for the better
