Childhood AmbitionsHoratioFellatio writes:
"At the tender age of 13, my little hairless clockweights squirted their first dose of testosterone into my blood stream. The result was a mental alarm clock shouting, 'I NEED TO LOOK AT GIRL'S FANNIES.' I reasoned that if I became a Gynaecologist, I'd get to look at fannies all day.
"It was only when I reached the age of about 16 and learnt about STD's and yeast infections that I realised I'd only ever get to see diseased ones."
Tell us about your childhood career ambitions and the moment at which your aspirations crumbled into a pile of broken dreams.

Managed ambitionsAt a tender age I told my very middle class grandma that I wanted to be a policeman (as one had just given my class us a road safety talk and he was very cool). She politely suggested that being a lawyer might be a better career for her grandson.
Also, my very liberal parents made a point of not encouraging gender stereotypes. We wern't bought guns to play with (so had to save up our pocket money to buy our own) and my brother spent his childhood playing with a cookery set.
When he got a bit older he deserately wanted to be a fighter pilot, and now designs roads.
