Doctor
I wanted to be a doctor until at the tender age of 12 my biology teacher brought along this huge pig's lung in a bowl of smelly fluid (although on second thought it might not have been the fluid that smelt) and invited us to prod it to our hearts' content. That was the day I realised I'm squeamish...

smelt of sausages :-S
I was 12 or so when our form teacher had a baby and we got stuck with this wonderful sub for two months. He had long manky hair and wore skin tight red leather trousers. But the best thing about him (note the sarcasm!) was the way he smelt of sausages. Nobody dared ask him for help in case he came over to your desk...

In the last lesson on Saturday (this was Switzerland, we had school every Saturday), we'd all sit in a circle and we were encouraged to discuss things that were bothering us. After much discussion in the break before the lesson one brave soul dared to ask him why he smelt of sausages (nothing personal, just curious...). He was rather surprised, there was no reason he should smell of sausages as far as he was concerned. Just the one small detail: he was fundamentally opposed to SOAP! Of course, everyone knows soap is EVIL!!!

Explore the universe!!!
Around the age of thirteen I started reading science fiction. So of course my big dream was to become an astronaut and explore the universe. I'd still love to actually... Being the lazy sod that I am I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of trying and I'd fail anyway. Instead I'd become an engineer and work on the space ships :-)

But when the European Space Agency came to our university their requirements (intelligence-wise) were so high that once again I chickened out of even trying.

I guess I'll stick to designing computer chips to do the engine management in cars then, it's probably safer for the astronauts ;-)
