I wanted to be a garbage man. Remember the days when there was actually two dudes that grabbed the bins and manually chucked the rubbish into the truck? That was fucking sick.

When I was 4 years old I remember this quote from my parents:

"You should be a good doctor when you are older, so you can look after me and dad when we are old..."

So, I was kinda brought up with Medicine..

Except when I was year 9 i wanted to be a high school teacher or university professor...parents stamped on that LOL

At Kindergarten, we had to create a poster of what we wanted to be when we grew up and I wrote 'work on computers' lol. Then I went through a journalism stage, in which my parents did not approve. Now I am considering law. :P

At some point in my life, I was determined to have the following as a career (in order):

- Astronaut
- Police Officer
- Doctor
- Palaeontologist
- Astronomer
- Geologist
- Meteorologist
- Aerospace Engineer
- Lawyer
- Teacher
- Back to Lawyer
- Criminologist
- Back to Meteorologist - (My hatred of my Year 12 subjects made me realise that I would enjoy a Maths/Science based career than an Arts based career)

I feel that being a Meteorologist is certainly the way to go for me. I'm excited :)
