What job did you want to become when you were a kid?

A musician. And I guess I succeeded, even if I don't make livable income off it...

According to a fill-in-the-blanks Dr. Seuss book I have from when I was a kid, I wanted to be a cop (I completely forgot about that). Cop would definitely be the last job I'd want now. Even if I were capable of being a cop, which I'm not, I hate cops, I think they're bullies, and there are some good ones, but even if I were a good one I'd have to swallow my conscience and abide by the Blue Code. Later on, like in junior high, I wanted to be a "mad scientist."

An astronaut or a TV show presenter or Jérémie from Code Lyoko. That cartoon is what got me to meet my best friend, learn programming, and move 600km to live near him.

A construction worker. I don't really remember the reason, but I was really into Lego, so maybe being involved in building something big sounded like a great idea to me.

I, like many other kids, wanted to be a youtuber. I now realize that being famous as a trans person or furry would be a remarkably bad idea, also being famous kinda scares me in a way I can't describe.
