Indiana Jones was my shit until i was ten or even later.

I didn't even minded The Crystal Skull Kingdom that much(i was 12-13), save for the fridge scene.

>>56033

I think the only thing I cared about when I was 7 was Batman. I wanted to be a scientist through a lot of my youth. after a lot of twists and turns, I'm in university for engineering now.

>>56033

Serial killers and hitmans.

>>56033
Various things, because I was a seven year who didn't have autism forcing me to focus on one thing.

>>56455
No, you were an ADHD ridden child who couldn't even focus, it seems.

Wanted to be an archaeologist/geologist. I always read anything i could about ancient civilizations and geology. How we all started is what i wanted to find out.

Dinosaurs. Exploring nature. Animals. Books.

>>55979
Nice story, but how did the garbage people knew about his passion?

Also autism, I guess

>>56033

I wanted to be a priest so I could work 1, maybe 2 days a week and sit on my ass and do nothing the rest of the week

Now I'm a mailman who works 5, maybe 6 days a week and sits on my ass doing nothing for the other day or two of the week

I know it may should edgy, but I was into ancient warfare. I always fantasized about massive battles with tens of thousands of bodies littering the battlefield.

Then I actually studied history and I came to realize that most battles are fought and won before swords ever crossed. I lost interest in warfare then.

lol sucks for the parents who now have a kid that wants to grow up to be a garbage man. Not a doctor, lawyer, or some respectable job, but a garbage man.

>>57229
Nothing wrong with being a garbage man.

>>57229
You're right bro we should all become doctors and lawyers, every last one of us. Then our garbage can rot in the streets, our farms can decay and we can spend all day arguing for the rights of murderers and prescribing each other heroin all day

>>56033
Guns and soldiers

>>57254
He didn't imply that - he implied that the kid should aspire to those things, and that it is better in the long run to have a population of unhappy people with difficult dreams than a population of happy people who have never worked for a goal they might not reach.

>>57270
What?

Nett happiness is better in situation 2

People that like doing there job will do it better

>>57270
Can confirm.
I had lower job goals, but was 'encouraged' to aim higher.
Tried to do the schooling, struggled with the abstract subjects. Didn't make it, now doing something I don't love but can manage.
Mostly unhappy in life.
I just wanted to grow things and care for animals...
One day I will have a little hobby farm and greenhouse... one day....
Or might just off myself....

You realize sanitation control/management go far beyond just guys in trucks tossing around garbage right? Sanitation departments hire various engineers, bio-engineers, chemists, etc. Various STEM degree's tackle sanitation problems and are far more respectable then the average B.A graduate.

>>57290
Your position is almost exactly the one Huxley attacks in "Brave New World", and is very similar to the one Plato puts forth in "Republic". I'm not saying whether you're right or wrong, but it's a highly non-trivial question. You shouldn't be surprised that people have different opinions than yours.

>>57294
Most people are probably in a similar situation. Society seems to mostly believe that, as a whole, it is better off for having pushed you to be unhappy - a rather interesting paradox.

>>57319
Sure, I realize that, and so does the poster I was referring to (probably). However, the OP states

>He says he wants to be a garbage man

so it's neither here nor there.
