So we all ended up doing something other than we really want to do. Maybe that’s the sliver lining on the recession cloud; some of us will take the time to go and get the qualifications we should have done and become geologists, astronomers, toy makers and car scrappers. Others will pursue a new career in the adult entertainment industry, while cailin maith will dress up as a nun and sell psychotherapy in a flower shop. Regardless, all of these choices would probably add far more to the sum of human happiness than anything we’re doing now.

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

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.
