I wanted to be a gynaecologist. I had all the right qualifications; slim wrists, a waterproof watch, and I could wallpaper the hallway through the letterbox. But I realised you didn't always see the best of people, so I went into ophthalmology & did eyes instead. :smiley:

Left school wanting to be a engineer so went to college doing electrical engineering. Had to pull out of my final year due to my mother being bad with cancer. Floated around for a few years then got back into engineering doing a mechanical apprentiship..

Now work for one of the largest cieling tile manufacturers in the world as a lead fitter/planner  :happy2:

I wanted to be a musician since I was about 12.... and here I am!  :signLOL: I suppose I've been "working" for money since I was about 15 and turned "pro" (whatever that means) when I was about 20.

Its not work though...  :P

Lefts school to go to college as I wanted to be a graffic designer. Enroled but never turned up as I decided I wanted to earn some coin like most of my friends so I trained to be land surveyor for 12 months. Totally hated it and it showed as I could not be arsed in the slightest resulting in a rather explosive confrontation with the boss and me walking out.
 After that I got a job at Carphone Warehouse and became an assistant manager. That job was such a laugh!
 8 years of that and I needed more money so decided to give the police a try. Been there 7 years and still going strong.

I also wanted to be a mechanic but my stupid career advisor said it was dead end career. Shame really.
