What was your dream job as a kid? And how close did you get to doing it

I wanted to be a police officer when i was a kid..
Ended up with a criminal record and that put a quick hault to that dream ever happening..

As a adult though its clear being a police officer is a thankless dangerous job where you dont get paid anywhere as much as you deserve, so im glad things went the way they did and i ended up much better off

Dentist. And I’m not even close because I don’t want to do anything in healthcare. Unless it’s on the business or financial side.

Flying airplanes. Find something you enjoy and it can be a hobby not a job!
