When I was a kid I wanted to be famous - dancer, actor and singer lol.
Then I wanted to be a vet, until I realised I'd see a lot of seriously hurt and ill animals, and have to put some down. I couldn't handle that without spending a good part of my day crying.
Next I liked hospitality, particularly hotel management. But on work experience the customers were awful and I realised the hours were even worse.
I settled on wanting to be an accountant. The main reason was that two of my parents were accountants and I liked their lifestyles, and I was good at maths. At the careers expo at Uni a bank was there, and it seemed a lot better than accounting. I got a job there and I'm still working for them. Problem is I really don't like it. It's very bureaucratic and there are so many systems, departments, rules, forms, it does my head in.
What I would *love* is anything to do with property. I love houses, I always have. I wish I'd realised earlier. I'd do real estate, architecture, development, anything.
