As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What did you actually end up becoming, and how do you feel about it? (lemmy.world)

As a kid, I wanted to be a scientist of some sort. As an adult, I work in retail and live at home with my parents. I hate my life.

    Yeah, me too. Due to an incompatible ADHD-riddled mind and an absolute incapability to study or handle longer projects, I now work in tech service. Not a fan, but as it's in the medical field I feel I do some good so I'm not bitter. Maybe a little bit 😅

    Wanted to be a veterinarian. Worked in a vet clinic in high school as...a person who cleaned shit and hated it, decided that field wasn't for me 😂

    Next decided to pursue management, not sure why because I never wanted to manage people. Settled on becoming a licensed professional counselor after receiving counseling myself. Love my job but REALLY over this whole "working" thing.
