What did you want to be when you grew up?

I used to want to be a commercial airplane pilot when I grew up. When I did grow up a bit I realized that not only did it take hellish training and dedication, the courses also cost a lot of money. Right now I'm not sure what I want to be yet, but I'd probably pursue a career in marketing. Or be a lawyer. If I can.

The 1st thing I remember wanting 2 be was a cartoonist, around age 8 or so. I was always a "2 myself" type of person, so while most of the kids on my street were out IN the streets, playing football and runnin' around, I was always INSIDE, drawing, and doing other SOLO things. Later on, I found an old Dr. Seuss book that I'd been given around age 5, and in 1 section of the book, it asked, "What do u wanna be when u grow up?", and it listed a bunch of different occupations, and I wrote MUSICIAN! I'd 4-gotten all about writing this, 'til I discovered it YEARS later! I find this interesting, since I ended up pursuing music, and teaching myself how 2 play keyboards. My sister used 2 have an organ when I was a kid, and I'd always "toy" with it, since she never gravitated 2-wards it. I also played the upright bass in 7th grade. Basically, I did well in ANYTHING pertaining 2 ART, whether it was my drafting class, calligraphy, ceramics, etc. And, I gravitated 2-wards the dancers in high school. So, I've always gravitated 2-wards the ARTS, in SOME shape or form! And, this NEVER changed 4 me! I discovered, early on, that a conventional "9-5" lifestyle was NOT 4 me! Later on, in addition 2 music, I explored acting as well. Ultimately, I'm an ARTIST at heart!
