Mad scientist.

I started studying law at Uni before getting kicked out.

I also harboured hopes of being a professional sportsman until about 14.

As I approach 40 I still haven't figured out what I want to do.

I always wanted to be bicycle saddle maker making custom saddles for ladies.

A Bum (That's more what I'd rather be now).

Or a stuntman.

Or a BMX rider.

Or a fighter pilot.

I wanted to be a doctor from when I was quite little up to about 14, when I discovered I needed A level chemistry. I hated chemistry - we had the dullest teacher on earth. After dismissing that, I was clueless. Fell into IT. Still here.

I wanted to be a scuba instructor.

I tried it, it's no fun.

Why isn't lion taming on the list though ?

I wanted to be a canoeing instructor, but injured myself far too much for that to be practical, and it pays peanuts

Computer programming is cool so it could be worse, I couldnt be a permie for long though the annual appraisals where if you do well pay rises are nothing to do with appraisals always stunk, when they would tell the opposite to those getting a bad rap.

I know someone who ran those beginers diving courses at a pool, and they sometimes had women with ill fiting bikinis, where the bottoms would free themselves before they noticed so it can be fun
