Childhood Dream: Wanted to be a Police officer (I always wanted to be a detective)
Reality: Went one better and I'm studying Law... looking back at it the Police officer would have been a better idea; would have probably made detective by now and would have been making money by now... It does pay off to think long term from time to time but...

'when you grew up'- Doesn't specify age, so I could be 15 and have an ambition to be an engineer.
When I was 4 I think I wanted to be a super saiyan though

But like

I've realised a lot of people are a lot better than me and put more effort into it

And like

Med is better

Then: Secondary Maths or Science teacher.
Now: A doctor (though I have no idea what area to specialise in particular - not necessary to know now anywho).
Future: ????

I am quite flexible in terms of interests - the only thing I'm not really interested in particular is Engineering. Have recently had a growing interest in academia + teaching at a tertiary level from talking with academics/tutors, what they do and a growing passion in some of the things I study (unfortunately not maths or physics).
