Young!



But seriouslyI always wanted to be a marine biologist, dunno what happened to that. Now I'm trying to get into London fire service, cocked up my application last year, gotta try again this year.

My brother wanted to be a tramp.

He failed though - typical of him. He's some IT technical whizz kid. Can't believe he didn't follow his dreams :roll:

I always wanted to be an Architect for the technical drawing side of things - I did experience as a planner / quantity surveyor / techinical plotter but decided it wasn't for me, good as a hobby but not for life. Plus I got to fully design a barn conversion, and see it get built.

Now my plan is to become an Cisco Engineer and Emigrate :D

What is it with surfers and marine biology? I wanted to be one of those too!

And I almost did it, but veered off somewhere into people instead of fishes. So now Im planning on compromising and being a biologist spending as much time in the marine as possible 8)

Oh yeah, and I wanted to be a stuntman too. Bonfires and Grifters - a great combination, happy days. :D
