I wanted to be an astronaut. The moon landings had a big effect on me as a kid. Neil Armstrong was my hero. I was going to be the first man on Mars.
The first problem I ran into is that I'm too tall. Maximum height for the US astronaut program is 6'3". I passed that when I was 15, so, no go. Then I figured, well, if I can't fly spaceships, at least I can build them, and decided to major in aerospace engineering. The problem there was that I wasn't very good at my engineering courses. However, I easily passed the one computer programming course that was required for engineering majors at my university - a class that everyone else said was the hardest class they ever took. I got the hint, changed to computer science, and went on to a career as a software developer. Wound up in the telecommunications industry because they were hiring, but that was a good place to be.
Best job I've ever had, though, is dad. The pay sucks, but the rest of it is fantastic. And I get great performance reviews. :-D

Actually yeah I wanted to be a voice on Simpsons. I can still do a decent Professor Frink.
