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.

Deanna Troi, Government CounsellorMy ambition since I was just a slip of a girl was to be a psychologist. Being off my rocker myself, I was confident I would be able to understand and assist others in the same condition.
University killed the dream. First, the head of the Psychology Dept. was known informally as "Dr. Katzenratz" for his propensity to extol the virtues of attaching electrodes to the brains of small furry creatures. All for science of course, but I found myself a bit at odds with that way of thinking. Secondly, I failed Statistics class (entirely the fault of my dyscalculia, my hormones, and a handsome distraction named Mark.)
I now work for the government and have to practically hit my co-workers to get them to stop telling me their problems. Yes, I am an excellent counsellor, but they're only paying me to be a clerk so: until you lot are willing to pay me a psychologist's salary, piss off and let me do my clerking in peace.
Thank you.
