"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.

You're British, so tone it down a bit...It was quite dull, really.
Age 14: Wanted to be Hannibal Lecter.
Age 16: I just breezed my GCSEs. Was dead set on being a Doctor, with a view to being a Psychiatrist (although maybe with less eating of patients).
Age 17: Realised that A-Levels were a bit harder to breeze through. Dropped expectations from Psychiatrist to Psychologist.
Age 18: Realised that everything I had formerly thought Psychology to be was rubbish. Decided to be research assistant.
Age 19: Realised what I wanted, more than anything else was a regular income.
Age 22: Realised what I really wanted was to be a programmer, not be someone else's admin bitch.
Age 26: Finally bloody got there!
Hmm. My career has thus far been a little undecided. Who knows what I'll want to be this time next year...
