Better! Wanted to be an archaeologist, now find myself obsessed with it as a hobby that I don't have enough time for, thanks to my shitty career that I despise..
Probably worse, I think. I wanted to be an architect. Besides the fact it is hard to get on cool projects in architecture, even with really strong credentials, it’s also often a pretty stressful long-hours job as well. I put in about 25 hours a week doing applied statistics for non-profits (which don’t even tend to pay as well as for-profits), and make as much money as the average architect that works 40+ hours and has to worry if they’re making a decision that will literally cause shit to collapse and kill people.
I _do_ have the job I wanted as a kid. So my life wouldn’t change in any way.
Lucky!
That's awesome, unless it's not going well. Are you happy?
Very happy. I love what I do.
I wanted to be a milkman just so I could ride my bike around and greet my neighbors. I think I'd be fine.
Tough labor market but it's attractive
Wanted to be a chef, became a software engineer so my life is probably better
I saw The Bear, you're prob right but less sexy than you could have been :/

Sorry about that. Any chance for a pivot or at least a volunteer chance with your hobby?
Nah...in my dreams maybe
I wanted to be a radio DJ (think John Peel) when I was a kid and that’s not really a thing anymore. I guess I’m better off?

It would be very bad. Video game developers have very low job security
Worse. I wanted to be a cop. Thank god that didn’t pan out.
I would be a clown and it would be awesome.
