Why not tell me why you are not living your childhood dream, or how it is, if you are?

I wanted to be a pathologist as a kid. Still do. Would love it. But am absolutely terrified of needles.(Going to therapy because of it terrified)

When I was a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, and I currently don't have a job (not legally allowed to where I live yet)

Hopefully that means you've moved to a different country and are waiting for a work visa, in which case, congrats on the new adventure

I wanted to protect ppl, being a firefigter or a police(wo)man
Now i work as an investigator at a local police station and graduating as a lawyer as well. So yeah. I guess i’m living my dreams sort of. The salary is not the best tho’ so dreams with some struggling. Nothing is 100% perfect, right?

Classical musician. I finished all the schooling, up to the exam of the conservatory, and had an absolute blast! But then I got really sick and after that I physically couldn’t play my instrument anymore. So now I’m on disability, which I call ‘full time professional bed tester’ which sounds much cooler than ‘disabled’ ☺️

Well, in my dreams I don’t work! ; )
Anyway, growing up I really wanted to be a teacher and I turned to be one for a while. After teaching, I’ve worked in different areas and enjoyed them all. But I guess I would have been happy being a professional traveler or an interior designer.
