like what did you dream for in the future or wanted as a job for when you became an adult. what did you end up getting stuck with?

i dident really have a dream as a kid, those were the years when i messed around and learned. now im in high school struggling with life and being paranoid for dumb reasons.

    When I was in school I remember one day we had a lesson about jobs, we each had a worksheet with some jobs listed and we had to pick out one we liked. There was one option that stood out to me right away, I can't remember the exact title they had but it was the one computer-related job on the sheet. I distinctly remember the teacher telling me that job wouldn't be needed in the future. Why even have it as an option if it's the one "wrong" choice?

    Anyway, I'm in software now. I'm incredibly lucky that I've always known what I wanted and managed to build a well-paid career in a field I like. Very few people get to say that.
