I cant be an astronaut because my eyesight

I loved chemistry in school more than becoming a teacher


I love what I do now (chemist) so I didnt pursue other "dream jobs"

I would have loved to become a veterinarian because some days I love animals more than people.

Never too late to fly, just costs a little $.

Growing up I wanted to be a pilot, architect, or a charter captain.

Now, I wouldn't mind being a farmer, the guy who cuts the grass at the airport, charter captain or an alcoholic.

I would have loved to have been a meteorologist. I know a lot more than the average person about meteorology and would have been in heaven during school but I could never get through all the math. My brain just doesn't work that way.

I would also love to be a travel agent, I love planning and researching vacations and finding deals but I doubt doing it as an actual job would be as much fun.

Pilot and also basketball coach

I was a pro pilot major at MTSU for a year before I changed majors. I regret it. And basketball coaches don't make enough money.

Developer/home builder. Been in the industry my entire life (labor, engineer, etc). Just as I was going to do it, the bottom of the market fell. Got another job, had kids, and can't take a chance right now. Hopefully will before I retire.

A teacher. You have the summer to go see all the movies you want, cook all you want and do tons of traveling. You have Thanksgiving and Winter Break for hunting and skiing. You can post on TD while you give your kids a worksheet. Just hope you don't want a lot of money to do those things.
