I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was young. Then I learned that I would need to spend a lot of time outside in the sun instead of inside in the dark so I decided to be a software dev instead.
Same, kinda. I had literally decided by the advanced age of 5 that I would be a paleontologist. Then at some point I lost interest. I’m not sure if it was a lack of support or something else. Now I wish I was a paleontologist again. Instead I pretend to be a dinosaur on the internet.

Same, except I am a legal tech and professional artist.
I love that I can make my money in a dark, air-conditioned room and just read about all the cool shit we’re learning about dinosaurs.
I really wanted to be an archaeologist. I still love archaeology and take a keen amateur interest in it.
But my knees would never have survived it.
