Then I wanted to be either an astronaut or a fisherman.

I am an industrial hygienist at a consulting company.

Nailed it.

I wanted to be a herpetologist, which always confused people because there are no black herpetologists. I work in medical research now while getting my P.H.D in biology with a concentration reptiles.

funny twist, was in the front yard with my two toddlers this week when the garbage truck passed and they were waving at the garbage men. one of the guys said "GET A BETTER JOB THAN THIS! YOU DON'T WANT THIS JOB..."

I didn't want to be anything when I grew up because I realized at a young age how much working sucked.

I became an engineer though because of the chicks.

When I was a kid - Real Estate Agent

When I got older - Golf Course Superintendent

Currently - O&G Sales

I miss the golf course daily, but from a financial stability standpoint I am happy where I am at.
