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)

I wanted to be a race car driver. Literally had no other ambitions, that's all I wanted, and I grew up being told I could be anything I wanted to be. Well we grew up homeless and I didn't realise it was something only wealthy families could afford to support.

Turns out I couldn't be anything I wanted to be.

I work in I.T. now. It's fine, pays the bils. I built myself a pretty decent sim racing rig so although it's not the same thing, it somewhat scratches the itch.
