this is a good reminder that there is never ~one~ right path for anyone! life is a winding road and you may discover something you never knew you loved ❤️

My childhood dream job was to be a doctor. I'm now a medical student and as long as I pass all my exams and assessments, that's what I will become. I just hope it was the right choice

As a fetus, I can confirm that my dream job has changed throughout my life.

Never had a dream job. (I’m an early 90s millennial fyi).
I think I’m definitely suffering the consequences of not living a passionate life.

I’m currently a data analyst with an MSc but the job climate is impossibly hard to progress in. Corporate jobs kill you from the inside

I found the "only 10% of people work their dream job" fact quite comforting.

Throughout my life as I got old and grew as a person I wanted to be many different things. When I was a kid I wanted to be an F1 driver, then towards the end of school I decided I wanted to be an engineer in an F1 team and I went to uni to study mechanical engineering. I never really had good grades in school but I somehow got an unconditional offer at one of my choices of uni and I got into their mech eng course with a foundation year. I passed the foundation year, but I only got into a semester of the full course before I started falling further and further behind, before eventually dropping out after not doing the exams at the end of the semester or attending a single lecture after.

During my foundation year, however, I had to commute across London into uni 3 times a week for classes so I found myself on trains very often, and as a train nerd I enjoyed this very much, more than uni. There came a point where I realised I actually like trains much more than I do F1 and I'd much rather be driving one than being some engineer in a sport I'm not that into anymore.

When I stopped going to classes I was unemployed for the rest of the academic year from January until October, until I got a job in a supermarket that October.

That job, which I'm currently still in, along with other problems in my life, led me to being so miserable that I drank quite a lot, and the only time I was sober was during a shift. I even hospitalised myself at one point after injuring myself quite badly and they had me stay the night.

During the couple of months after, I hadn't touched alcohol. However, in that October, I saw the train operator that I used to take to uni which I really wanted to drive for were hiring trainee drivers. I applied and they accepted my application. They then had me do some online assessments which I passed, and it was the only time in my life I really put effort into preparing for a test. I was waiting for an invite to a stage called 'Driver Assessments', which is basically a whole day of assessments before an interview at the end. After my online assessment, there were several MONTHS of silence. In January, I broke my humerus (between my elbow and my shoulder) and the DAY AFTER that happened was when they FINALLY sent me an invite to the Driver Assessments that I had waited so long for. Obviously, I couldn't go and I only regained adequate motion in my arm 2 months into healing, and by that time my one shot was long gone.

**TLDR:** What I'm trying to get at with all of this is that maybe I am not supposed to do what I want to do in life, as life has failed me at every turn. Maybe I'm supposed to spend the rest of my working life working as a cashier at a supermarket and be stuck at home with my mother.

As a kid I wanted to be a soldier because I enjoyed the concept of fighting and victory. But as I got older, I realized being a soldier sucked and became a lawyer instead, which is also about fighting and victory, but with words instead of bullets.

I wanted to be finnish minister of finance as a 12year old.

[angjiapheng]

I wanted to be a scientist when I grow up, the 'Thosmas Edison' type (yeah, I read more about him after I access to internet)
Now I am a data scientist. It's not what I actually wanted, but it's kinda my field of interest and the name wise it matches. So it's a win for me

it’s crazy to think about how millennials used to run wild without consequences all over the internet but now they run companies and have families and start looking like their parents

I wanted to be an architect and change the building industry! Recently I just bought my own construction company, where I've been working as an architect :)

When I was young I wanted to be a pilot. Then after secondary school I wanted to an engineer. Now I want to be a pilot again.

[tearsoflithium]

I wanted to be an archaeologist, now I'm an art history professor.

I never truly had a dream job as a kid that I had some passion or goal put into it which is why I'm so lost in finding my career, it always bewildered me how so many people could find these obscure careers. I enjoyed Japanese classes and wanted to do animation and maybe could've gone the route related to them but didn't feel the interest I thought I did with them
