    Spider-Man...

    A Jet fighter pilot was the main one. Dad in the Airforce.

    Got more interested in health and caring roles later because of Mum. I will be a Paramedic/RN in about two years.

    Well of course I wanted to be a princess when I grew up 😂 then a teacher, then a veternarian, then wanted to be in the military then I got disqualified, so now trying to figure out what to go to school for.

    I was going to be a clown. I was also going to have rocket powered roller skates.
    An actress seemed pretty cool for awhile.
    Then an artist or accountant seemed the way to go.
    A landscaper or florist was briefly interesting.
    I'm not sure I grew up. I don't know what I want to be.

    That’s lovely, how come you didn’t want to be a safari guide?

    Never thought of that lol

    Actress, then backup dancer because I was too shy to be the lead singer, then a teacher. I never really pursued any of those once I was old enough to actually have a career

    I wanted to be a Blockbuster Video manager who gives all the customers a brief synopsis of the movies they're checking out with a slight hint of pretension.

    "Ahhh... Freddie Prinze Jr. at his best. A fine selection indeed!"

    I wanted to be an actor for a while... Did theater in high school and college, and even directed...

    Well that's what I really wanted to be, a director...

    But.... Money 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I wanted to live in a house in the graveyard
    My plan was to keep it all tidy and put a flower on every grave

    They dont call it a starving artist for nothing. I had to pay to play for a long time before being offered actual money for a show.
