I wanted to be a paleontologist or an archaeologist when I was around 5 to 8. I wanted to be an astronomer from ages around 9 to 12.

Astronaut, Policeman, Fireman, Paleontologist (I fucking loved dinosaurs when I was a kid) and probably a bunch of other stuff that I forget.

A hot shot lawyer. This was actually my first what-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up-job.

All I thought about was the vast amount of money I could roll in, until I realised there was hundreds of lawyers out of work because there wasn't a demand for them in Ireland. I then found out that it also cost thousands of euro just to become one. That crushed that dream.

I then thought later when it came to finishing school I'd become a geneticist, unfortunately (Thinking about it now I was probably fortunate not to have got it) I was a few marks short of gaining entry. So now I'm studying to be a vidya gaem designer.

I wanted to be a riduculous plastic surgeon with questionable ethics. The kind of plastic surgeon who'd pop a whole body full of muscle implants into a 250lb body builder.

I still do really. I'm fascinated by body modification. I've got the grades to pull it off, but I can't really afford Med school ATM.
