What did you want to be?

[ScotiaLass]

I wanted to be a lorry driver....

..... living the dream people, living the dream

My dad was a lorry driver for many years...I even got a ride in his big truck one day when he did a local job to Glasgow docks - he usually did longer UK trips and was away for several days a week.

I've done the long distance work and enjoyed it but wanted to spend more time with my young family so working for a supermarket for now (local day work) may return to journey work when kids have grown up, of when I've had enough of them

I wanted to be a vet, but my life took an abrupt turnaround at a very young age and I ended up working in offices and in the end was a manager in a large Insurance company.

although it wasn't what I wanted, it gave me the money to be able to retire at the age of 51.

Yeah, my mum once told me that he had been away for several weeks, only being at home on a Sunday, and I asked her when the 'man' was coming to visit us. I was 3 or 4 years old.

That's what I didn't want to happen..

That's the same here, although I didn't go to Glasgow docks.

By the way do you still have the nurses outfit?

No, I outgrew it
Though I may have a real one somewhere, and no, I'm not putting it on for a photo-op!!

If you can't find it then Ann Summers do a very nice one.

So I'm told anyway.

Don't say that, you sound just like my wife.

I wanted,in no particular order to be; a missionary in Africa, a professional footballer/ rugby league player, rock star, astranaut. Ignored those dreams and became a plumber.

Never knew what I wanted to be. Still don't. Maybe when I get to be a grown up...

Nahh.

I had no career aspirations other than to escape the estate and town I grew up in and be what the Aged P drummed into me as essential; "A good provider" and most definitely not "A non-starter".

Personally I was a bit clearer. I wanted a good stable relationship and a family of my own. Whilst, day-to-day, it is hardly anything like my 'dreams', and there are plenty of bumps in the road, it fits like a glove and I love being a husband to TLH and a dad to two. Even if one of them drives me nuts at times, and me him.
