Random Thought #47

What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you become it? I wonder what the percentage of people is that actually did what they wanted to do when they grew up. I know I didn't. When we were young, we likely didn't have any clue about the adult world or how things work in this world, but that's what made us pure and free. Many of us probably didn't really know what we wanted to be or what we wanted to do, but I can almost assure you that nobody growing up said "I want to spend 30-40 years of my life working at a desk job", "I want to be an account manager", or "I want to appease political correctness". We were dreamers and adventurous. Its funny how we never really know what we want to do or who we want to become until it seems like its too late. For most of us, we spend nearly 50% of our lives doing something we hate and all of that time is spent away from our families. Why? To pay the bills and to satisfy our appetite for the worldly. Its a shame that most of the things people really want to do or really enjoy either entail a massive amount of debt/time due to schooling or don't pay nearly good enough to live as a middle-class American. I want to hear from you. What was/is your dream? Assume money isn't a factor and being lazy at home isn't an option. What are you passionate about?
