I'm a dentist and I love it. But if I could be anything at all, I would have Kirk Herbstreet's job. How cool would that be!

Always wanted to be a Playboy photographer. Now that they've gone non-nude, glad I dodged that bullet.

I wanted to be a Marine, so I was a Marine. When I got through with that, I wanted to be an engineer so now I am an engineer. It really is that simple.

I daydreamed for years about being an astronaut. went to space camp and space academy as a kid.

i'm now a controller/finance guy and love it, but watching movies like interstellar make me sad. i'll never go into outer space and see the big blue earth from afar

I'm not too far from it I guess. The travel sometimes annoys me. On Thursday nights when I'm exhausted and my flights are delayed and I have to rush through a connecting airport with all my luggage....it kind of sucks.
