  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

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

I read this thread title as "childhood trauma".
 
Vannie, you ain't right. :) :)

Birds? Tried that with emu. OF COURSE the market went tits-up just as my birds started to lay. But it's cool.
We have 25ish acres with a decent house, everything is paid for, and I'm not in jail for killing the next door neighbor we had in town. That Fucker. If I left the garage door open when I got home from work, fucker would just walk in like he owned the place. And then act insulted because I'm sitting on the sofa naked watching TV. Having a boner was even more horrible.

Meanwhile, if I was outside doing whatever, mowing the yard, spraying the rose bushes, getting the mail from the mailbox, he would shut his garage door. Shrug. I don't care what your shitty car looks like, I already have a lawnmower, so WTF.

Hell, he didn't know I had spent time in the attic of that house running coax and a couple of phone lines for the previous owners. Oh, and fixing a bad wire connection in the attic. Aluminum to Copper, yeah.
 
I guess I'd be some kind of Jack of all trades. A little carpentry, a little auto repair, some small appliance repair (hint: most of that stuff just needs cleaning and a few drops of oil). Need a dishwasher installed? I got that, easy.

Pretty much what I've always done since I was a kid.

Without the BS of a JOB that requires nine hours a day of my life..... an hour for lunch included, plus drive time. Or the random double shift because someone got too fucked up to come to work. Hey, I get fucked up and I always showed up for work. Always. I called out sick like three times ever ever.

Now. How I could make a living doing the jack of all trades thing is a mystery. But I've seen a couple of guys make it work.

True back in the good old days. Now it's "toss it, because it's designed so it can't be fixed, and even if it can be, it's not worth bothering with, because something else on it will break soon!"

Hard to believe there was a time when people could buy a coffee maker that could last decades. And I think the percolators of the 1950s were more complicated than drip makers of today.

And don't even get me started on how my mother used a washing machine for about a quarter century with only a couple of repairs.
 
One of my fantasies was to be a private detective like Fenton Hardy. Although at times I wanted to be an inventor like Tom Swift.

The books I liked reading apparently put some delusions into my head... :lol:
 
I have a Maytag pair. I replaced the water valve once before I installed a water softener. Then the cycling t-stat on the dryer. Maybe $40 in parts.

Got it from the old folks after he died. No one wanted them, Oh, that old sofa was a real big deal. Go figure. The set was pushing 10 and it's been here since '04. And I figure it will be here for another 30 years.
 
True back in the good old days.

Yeah. When resistors and such were discrete, just replace it. But the new stuff with the surface mount tiny parts? Yeah, beyond me.
 
I am doing what I said I would when I was 6.

But as I have noted before...I always also wanted to an archaeologist.
 
I would be an entertainer. I would have a successful music career, do movies, theater, television and my world tour would sell out in minutes.
 
An architect or an inventor.
I love detective and mystery novels since forever but I never wanted to be a detective :unsure:
 
A car mechanic, I guess I achieved that getting a degree in computer science. Problem solver.
 
In later years...I thought...proctologist...but for only men.

Not because I don't like women but I think a homo proctologist would be able to help a lot of men in ways that a str8 doc can't comfortably perform.
 
I never knew what I wanted to do for a career. Depending on when exactly you asked me I might have said engine driver or veterinary surgeon or barrister. I didn't end up following any of those routes.
