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.

There were severalWhen I was a kid, I had several ambitions. To play professional Baseball - but I knew that it would never happen. My dad told me - in one of those wiseman moments - do something you love for fun for a job, the worst thing to do is a job you hate. Well what did a 11 year old me like to do in my free time? Draw. So at that age, i decided I wanted to be an architect (I have an uncle who is one). So flash forward 24 years. I have a B/s in Arch. I have worked for several firms, designed a couple of buildings that are up, and I now have a title for a state agency that has nothing to do with my background, but I do get the chance to do some occassional architectural drawing though. Mainly I process paperwork of various kinds. For a couple of years after 9/11 I wanted to be a policeman, and I actually did take the test and was in the top 1% of the results. But it dawned on me, that my pudgy self was in no condition to be a cop, and i am much safer sitting a desk than in a crappy neighborhood.
