That depends on the age you asked me. It kept changing.
- At 4 yrs old: Superman. No question. I was going to be Superman.
- At 6 yrs old: Veterinarian. This was negotiable.
- At 10 yrs old: Stand-up Comic. I spent a lot of time watching HBO comedy specials around this time.
- At 11 yrs old: Stunt man. This was short lived.
- At 13 yrs old: Author/novelist. I still tinker with this idea sometimes. I actually managed to write a book while in High School. Took a bit over 2 years.
- At 16 yrs old: DJ. This one I actually followed through with for about 10 years from ages 23-33. It was fun, but got burned out. It wasn't worth the BS.
- At 18 yrs old: Filmmaker. This is something still very dear and true to my heart, and dammit...I'll get that movie made some day yet.
Things I ended up being:
- Photographer
- Salesman
- Tech Support
- Travel Agent
- Telemarketer (short lived, hated it)
- Customer service
- Dispatch for a trash company
- Data Entry Clerk
- Graphic Designer
- Aspiring Voice Over Artist
Aweosme! This deserves a more thorough response than what I can do on the phone right now but... stand up comic! Yes! HBO was the best for that back in the day. I watched every special I could. Carlin at Carnegie will be etched in my memory forever!
This post has inspired me to change my Steemit avatar.
I can now cross that one off my list.
Brilliant! I'm going to be a superintendent... or a caterpillar.
Damn I'm so mad I didn't use that pic for the thumbnail.
I do think it was awesome that you got to be a DJ. Perfect age for it too. But like everything... BS destroys the fun.
Good luck with the movie! Perhaps some day you can make the first full length movie released exclusively on steemit!
