So I did Business instead and ended up as a contractor.

    Ideally I wanted to be a vet but was too thick and ended up as a contractor.

      Too much action man and "Commando" comics.
      My dad used to write those (and stories for assorted other comics) in his spare time. Nice to know they influenced somebody

      Being a child of the early Sixties, I naturally wanted to be an astronaut and go to the moon

                At about 4 I honestly wanted to be a binman - I did it too, but only as a temp. Toyed with Architecture and the Law, but not really bright enough for either and now I've had some experience of lawyers I'm glad I didn't go anywhere near it in the end.

                Still not sure what I really want to do, but have always fancied owning a car scrapyard - could probably do a great job of proper recycling now, too.

                  Age 4 to about 9 I wanted to be a nun, thats what you get for being taught by a load of nuns. After that, I wanted to be journalist till I was about 17 and then I applied for a uni course in Psychology.....

                  Nne of the above are anything like what I am doing now, although a degree in Psychology would come in handy

                  If I won the lotto, I'd open a flower shop

                    Funny, Mrs OG wanted to be a serial nun-slayer. I understand that's what you get for being taught Irish by Sister Pius, the all Ireland Sisters of Mercy Super Heavyweight Boxing Champion.
