What do you want to be when you grow up? - Page 3

Sailor Steve · 04-09-07, 04:46 PM

A fighter pilot.
(no, bad eyes)

A musician.
(been one for forty years; never made any money at it)

A professional historian.
(didn't figure that one out until a little too late)

Now? There are a lot of books left to read, a motorcycle to ride, more music to play, a sister to visit, maybe a reunion with my kids.

My highest priority is being a good husband and father in the future. Career comes after that.

Cheers, I plan to apply to my nation's intelligence service after I finish up university. But if my grades are high enough, I'd like to go on to post-graduate studies. Then by that time it's anyone's guess!

I used to think a lot like this. I was previously training as a journalist and didn't like it because it would keep me away from my future wife and family for too long... but as I got a sense of the world outside my door, I wanted more and more. Now it's going to be a looong time before I settle down!

A bigger version of mini-me ... can't guarantee the maturity level though

Great life

Thanks! Nobody ever told me that before.

You can accomplish that right now. The only thing stopping you is you so go for it.

There's a George Patton quote which applies here I think...

"I'd rather have a German division infront of me than a French one behind"? :rotfl:

Haha, seriously, I was thinking more along the lines of "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other SoB die for his country"
