Job you wanted when you were young compared to Today?

I always wanted to be like my Dad, who was a farmer when I was growing up. He was always happiest when he was on his tractor out in the field. But as I grew older, I saw the pain and hard work he went thru dealing with the government, bankers, and good ol Mother Nature and knew it wasn't for me. But I still miss the farm. Just can't make it into a career these days unless you are born with land already in your family.

I was born in Regina Saskatchewan, raised for the first 7 yrs on a farm.
So I guess at that stage I wanted to be a farmer like my dad.
After he passed when I was 7, I was lost figuring out just what I wanted to be.

Later in high school, I wanted to get into architecture, but no money for University.
I wound up a Millwright at a local steel mill here in Hamilton, and hope to retire in a few more years.
All in all life hasn't been to bad....
