like what did you dream for in the future or wanted as a job for when you became an adult. what did you end up getting stuck with?

i dident really have a dream as a kid, those were the years when i messed around and learned. now im in high school struggling with life and being paranoid for dumb reasons.

    In high school I wanted to be an architect. Graduated and went on to struggling for years working in retail til I finally had enough and went to college. Found out quickly that there was zero demand in my area for that and pivoted to being a mechanical engineer. I now have 13 years of doing that and am glad I went that option as I can go anywhere in the world with this skill set.

      I wanted to be a civil engineer and design bridges and buildings basically since I was 10. When I went to university and took my first Statics/mechanics class, I noped the fuck out and studied chemistry instead.
