I'm not sure what I wanted, when I was really young I firstly wanted to be a power ranger, then later on I wanted to do stuff with games.

I'm not sure if I was more into the concept of running a game store or designing them but I specifically remember planning to sell games for a dollar less than everyone else to get all the biznez..

I wanted to make video games.

But I quickly found out I didn't actually want to make games. I wanted to be the "ideas guy" and that being that kind of guy is useless, so I dropped that idea pretty quickly.

A musician.

I wanted to play music. Ended up being first chair of my section in both middle school and high school (fuck yeah, low brass). I really enjoyed the teamwork aspect of every section working together to produce one idealized sound. My entire family just told me to give up being a musician or going to music school because its too difficult to earn a paycheck unless you are really good. This compounded with the fact that I "made too much noise" when I practiced meant that I actually didn't get to practice at all, but was just naturally adept at Tuba. I never realized that I actually did have talent at what I was doing at should have said "fuck it" and kept at it.

I still remember how to play my scales, but have nothing to play them on or anyone to play anything with.

astronomer / astrophysicist

engineer/analyst for government science agency. hate it as it almost amounts to data entry and everything is so mired in bureaucracy/unnecessary procedure I cannot stand it. Work is very unfulfilling and is sparse to begin with.

Can't really leave to go to grad school due to borderline crap grades, nor do I have much experience in fields I might like working in. Don't really know what I want at this point. Thinking of just leaving and doing volunteer work/peace corps type work somewhere.

don't quote me on this but my husband is about to get into truck driving and if you just sign on with a company for like two years, they train you and give you their CDL. Only problem is that the pay isn't as amazing as it could be if you just went and got the CDL independently or something like that.
but really what the fuck is there to buy in this big shitty world
if you're not a greedy materialistic fuck, truck driving is an extremely well-paying job no matter what and they haven't outsourced it to the brown people yet.
