What was your first career choice?

I remember one long hot summer training to be an Entomologist.

I gave it up as a bad job.

Every insect I looked at through my magnifying glass, burst into flame

Wow, titchy suicide bombers! That could really spoil a picnic.

Astronaut

I must have had some success as I’m always being asked, “What planet are you on?”

[norrahe]

Pathologist... I blame watching too much inspector morse in my formative years

[Doggy Styles]

When I was at school I fancied being a police forensic scientist or working for the forestry commission.

Did astronomy at uni but ended up doing research in hypersonics at a well known place that had a great airshow every couple of years. Gave it up and became a pro musician, turned IT from a hobby to a career.

I loved astronomy but I never considered a career in it. I didn't know of any jobs in it. I was scared of heights anyway.

For as long as I can remember, I've never really known what I wanted to do. Even now, at the age of 43, I still have no idea. All I know is that it isn't what I'm doing now (or would be doing if I wasn't on the bench).

That was always the problem, you had to be tulip hot to get anywhere but I was getting more interested in the primitive IT systems and how to program so never pursued it as a career.

I was going to go into Astrology but I couldn't see any future in it.
