What was your dream job as a kid?

When you were a child, what was your dream job and why? What is your occupation now?

When I was really young, maybe 4 years old, I became fascinated with dinosaurs. I had toy dinosaurs and illustrated books of dinosaurs. I loved the dinosaur skeletons in the natural history museum. I later read children's books about people called paleontologists who found dinosaur bones. I decided that wanted to be a paleontologist so that I could find dinosaur bones. LOL

I fell away from that idea by jr. high. I had no career thoughts.

I had become a good guitarist by high school, grew my hair long, played rock music in garage bands, and we were popular around town. I considered being a rock star.

When I was 26, I was offered a job as a motor vehicle damage field adjuster/appraiser trainee. At that point, I hadn't even completed my AA degree.
The job had great salary and fantastic benefits. That became my career for 30 years until I retired with a pension and a lot of money in a 501(k).

A gangster because I saw all the bad boys in school get to sleep around with all the girls and they were respected. But camera's and police technology started getting more advance and I realize it isn't worth it because those guys were stuck in the gangs and can't get out will ultimately end up in prison.

I work in cybersecurity doing digital forensics now.

I wanted to be an astronaut. It was not just a kid thing either. I joined Air Force ROTC with the intention of becoming a pilot and maybe finding a position in the space program.
