I wanted to be a firefighter, then a volcanologist, then a meteorologist, then an astronomer. I am a repair tech for mailing machines.

I'm not terribly upset about it. Trying to make my job something more than what I do to put food on the table has been an exercise in fast tracked burnout when I've attempted it previously. My passions can stay hobbies.
