And how close did you get?

I always wanted to be a vet (was put off as a child by everyone telling me how impossible it was. Shame really).

I ended up working with horses and moved onto elderly care. So quite close really.

how about you?

Lol. I didn't like blood, so would have struggled being a vet. Am ok with it now.

When really little I wanted to be a train driver but from about 10 I wanted to be a teacher and that's what I ended up doing.

I wanted to do this..... But I'm too heavy and too tall (Although there was an American participant who was the same height as me - 6' 3"). Most riders are short@rses!

Social worker was my first choice, got nowhere with that.
Child psychologist second choice, nowhere with that.
Criminal psychologist was 3rd choice, nowhere with that.
Solicitor was 4th, nowhere with that either. lol

I left school was kicked out of kids home and became a homeless nobody for a while, you can't go to college and uni when you don't even have a roof over your head.

Omg! You would probably make an excellent social worker, too. Did you do something close?
