Job you wanted when you were young compared to Today?

[RWhisenand]

When I was real young I vacillated a lot, at one point wanting to study history and teach, to metrology, to archaeology, never really settled.

Ended up in industrial electrical, then instrumentation, then systems integrator, now in charge of large electrical department in very large company. I would have never guessed how that would have happened whe I was younger.
