What did you want to be when you were a young 'un?

When I was very young, I wanted to become a teacher. Then, later, a research scientist. I became a teacher who teaches STEM courses.
Speaking of which:

Teacher - that must be the only profession within everybody's reach.
You just teach the n00bs the ins an outs of the job. Or if you're lucky, you get paid for it.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to take that. I can assure you that not everyone is cut out to teach, not even all of those who choose the profession.
 


I wanted to be an engineer (the kind that drives trains).





(sung to the tune of "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You")


I've been working on the railroad
All the live-long day.
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.


Can't you hear the whistle blowing,
Rise up so early in the morn;
Can't you hear the captain shouting,
"Dinah, blow your horn!"


Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?


Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the old banjo!


Singin' fee, fie, fiddly-i-o
Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o
Strummin' on the old banjo.




 
in this order, astrophysicist, movie special FX wizard, cartoonist, international assassin (puberty:rolleyes:), punk-rock star, and then it kind of trailed off into dull reality.
 
Nurses are truly amazing people. Without people like you, justpet and so many others I would not have been able to care for my terminally ill MIL at home to pass away with her family around her as she wanted to be with us. Hearing our voices, feeling our love. :heart:

Lovely to see you. :)

Have to check in now and then. Some of my originals still here. Remember Lit with fondness. I do find I prefer a more drama free life.

I respect people who care for their family. I respect people who care. You are one of the best.
