Comments on: What did you want to do when you grew up? http://www.borednow.org/random/what-did-you-want-to-do-when-you-grew-up/ random blatherings from a random person Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:10:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ros Hodgekiss http://www.borednow.org/random/what-did-you-want-to-do-when-you-grew-up/comment-page-1/#comment-33 Ros Hodgekiss Wed, 05 May 2010 10:28:18 +0000 http://www.borednow.org/?p=109#comment-33 Neat post, D! Well, the gorgeous thing about the question - 'what did you want to do when you grew up?' - is that what we do now hardly existed way back then. Without the foresight to see social media, blogging, or even the web coming, I wanted to become a pilot, or a teacher. I think the latter ambition has translated well into what I do now and thankfully, I really love my job. If I had another chance, I'd go back to school, study geology and become a volcanologist. Then I'd catch a slow boat to SE Asia and spend my days dropping instruments into hot holes in the ground. But that said, I'd probably be just as happy as I am now. I don't think there's anything wrong with wondering, 'what if?' If anything, it keeps us on our toes. Neat post, D!

If I had another chance, I’d go back to school, study geology and become a volcanologist. Then I’d catch a slow boat to SE Asia and spend my days dropping instruments into hot holes in the ground. But that said, I’d probably be just as happy as I am now.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wondering, ‘what if?’ If anything, it keeps us on our toes.

Didn't we just throw a bunch of tags out there? Of course they were back then - we weren't so worried about well-formed anything as long as it made the text part like the Red Sea. I still haven't decided myself. I'll have to think on it. Well written. Didn’t we just throw a bunch of tags out there?

I still haven’t decided myself. I’ll have to think on it.
