My favorite ice breaker. What do/did you want to be as an adult?

When I was a young lad I wanted to be an astronomer or computer scientist or something. As an adult, I just want to be happy.
a software engineer, although not an unemployed one
Used to be “oh, I want to do something with computers and programming”.
By now that’s solidified into either some sort of sysadmin, or something in the field of designing microprocessors.
I’m also considering instead training to become an ATC after I’m done with my CS degree.
Astrophysicist
More or less in order: firefighter, aeronautical engineer, mechanical engineer, civil engineer, computer programmer, medical researcher.
an “astronaut paleontologist” who digs up fossils on other worlds
Took a dumb “assessment” in grade school and it said I should be a pilot.
Later I didn’t know tearing apart computers and getting apps to work could be a job and studied engineering. Halfway through that I found systems administration.
A voice actor. I do call center work. It’s sad but I get people asking if I’m an actor every now and then which is nice.
Astronaut. Later in highschool the assessments said I should be a Helicopter Pilot.
lol, that’s oddly specific. What qualities make someone a good helicopter pilot instead of a plane pilot?
A blatant disregard for the rules of nature.
Veterinarian, marine biologist, or actor depending on what age you asked me. Now, I am none of those things.
A hobo, going from place to place subsisting.
I’ll start: A psychologist
