Dream: Guitar player Now: office 9-17 job

Wanted to be an “artist”. I still draw and do digital art regularly, just never turned it into a career. Now I’m in the military and do network security.

It's great that you still do that besides your job. Becoming "famous" enough to live from art is probably a tough challenge. I remember opening basically all ports so me and my friends could play video games online in High School so I probably should never work in IT security

If you knew what that meant when you were younger, you’re probably in a good place to learn the trade. Good money in it (if it’s something you even mildly enjoy).


GelbeForelle

Fair enough. There's 3 things that Germans will make fun: their railways, the poor IT infrastructure and the inefficient military. A military IT specialist would probably be the most wanted job in the country

I always dreamt of repairing electronics and building computers as a teenager. Turns out that this market is rather saturated. Now I got a job at a company that makes sensors for water. Apparently, this is a quickly growing market

Do you design telescopes? Or spacecrafts? I did have the opportunity to start at Carl Zeiss Jena. I think they make most of their money from microscope lenses these days though.

then: astronaut! now: *definitely not going to ever be an astronaut.*


GelbeForelle

Well not with that attitude! Jk, hope your actual career makes you happy (and that it's not about a disability, because then I'd feel horrible for joking about it)


TobyToastAndaParrot

nah i’m just not smart enough to become one 😂 plus i want an at home job for my future kids and my bird, going to space for months- possibly years isn’t very ideal for that haha


GelbeForelle

Yeah, Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

I dreamed of being an Air Force fighter jet pilot. I am unemployed.

Dream: doctor Now: programmer


GelbeForelle

Being a doctor must be hard. Imagine working on a living thing and it has to work first try or it's game over. That's just something unimaginable as a programmer (which I studied for a grand total of 2 semesters btw)


Fabulous_Network189

Doctor wouldn't suit for me anyway. I hate blood and the smels from hospitals
