I wanted to be an auto mechanic. It's a lot harder to break into the field than it sounds. There are 2 mechanic programs around here but you have to already work as a mechanic or be sponsored by a dealership to get accepted into the program. But, nobody will take you in unless you know what you are doing. So, pretty much, it sounds like you have to grow up with a family member who is a mechanic to get into it. Or maybe the military? My current profession is IT related.

Well if you grow up with a family mechanic and get experience but no schooling then you are in the same boat pretty much.

Yep. The point I was making is that you can't even get into the school without the experience. But you can't get experience without the schooling.. unless you know someone willing to teach you and sponsor you who is a licensed mechanic.

No idea what I wanted as a kid, science sounded fun. Just kept getting better and better at stuff and I'm living happy with a steady paying white collar science job. I'm a fan of the "So good they can't ignore you" approach and save the hobbies for my free time.

I wanted to be a supervillain. Now I do IT work running the machines that make calls for a BPO/debt collection company. So I'm kinda there.

I wanted to be a pilot. Instead I fix computers out of a basement with no windows and when it rains it makes everything smell like sewage. Then it gets moldy and fucks with me and facilities refuses to do anything about it.

Wanted to become a lawyer for a long time when I was a kid (probably at the age of eight to ten or something), am now a graphic-designer and have no idea why the hell I ever wanted to be a lawyer.

Funny I remember you from another thread where people guessed professions. I guessed right but your username gave it away a bit.
