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.

no futureWhen I was nine, I told a school teacher that I didn't want to work because it was clearly a waste of one's life. She laughed and told me I'd soon change my mind. Not yet, I haven't. I have been fired from almost every job I've done. Apparently I'm apathetic and have a bad attitude. In my current job, I've been told I'll be fired in a month unless I buck my ideas up.
I told my careers teacher that I wanted to be a writer. He laughed and suggested that I become an accountant (not a careers teacher, I noted). So I worked in a shop, then I taught English to foreigners. Then I finally became a 'writer' - at this moment I'm working on a fascinating article on how the Legal Services Bill will affect lawyers [any opinions Rachelswipe?]. I'm almost creaming my pants with excitement.
But I'm going to be a published author, you just wait and see. The world will cower before my talent and JK Rowling will ask to borrow money from me. You wait - world domination!
