Childhood Dreams...

Quicken Anja

It is officially Spooky Season, so let's play our own version of virtual dress-up!

What would your occupation be if you had followed your childhood dreams?

I would have become a Prima Ballerina at the New York City Ballet.

What about you?

I have always wanted to be a biomedical engineer and focus on helping patients with prosthesis. I studied electronics instead. Biggest regret of my life for not following what I remain extremely passionate about.

Childhood goal was to become a highway patrolman and get the bad guys in high speed chases and shootouts.
Later years followed a mechanical engineering path which included computer system development/ management and eventually project and program management. No regrets!!!

I would have taken a job at Home Depot when they started out in Atlanta.

Thought I would be a soldier. Joined ROTC as a freshman in college ... top cadet sophomore and junior year, granted first ROTC scholarship. After summer camp, I was honorably (but unceremoniously :-) discharged as the Army thought I'd have heart issues in my fifties. So ... degree in civil engineering, worked in oilfield, ran an equipment repair business, served hundreds of people as a real estate broker for 37 years ... still active at 76. Regret not serving, don't regret the fun I've had.

I wanted to work in Criminology and got my Sociology degree, used it once in a job for about 10 months. Then by chance, I got into bookkeeping and credit management at a salary of $450/month just to pay the bills. Soon a friend introduced me to computers, and ended up offering me a position to learn at his company, at a salary of $650/month, long before personal computers were created. That started a 42-year passion for programming, database design and development, and as a database administrator. For years I would go to a community colleges taking evening courses just to get an exposure to various aspects of computer technology and expand my skill set. Now at 78 years old I still work with my own data every day, and am regularly learning new skills with database and data manipulation software to collect and analyze data to turn it into information.
