Title: What did you want to be when you grew up?
Post by: Zerlina on July 22, 2014, 11:22:27 PM: What did you want to be when you grew up, and what do you do now?

When I was a really little kid I wanted to be an architect because I thought they just sat around and drew pictures of houses all day. Now I'm an actor and story developer.

Post by: Momeka on July 23, 2014, 08:16:05 AM: I wanted to be a comic book artist / writer and for a while I wanted to be an author. Now I'm a video game developer, been running my own company for three year next month together with a friend.

Post by: Meiscool on July 23, 2014, 11:59:42 AM: I wanted to be an architect as well. I became a doctor (of pharmacy) instead.

EDIT - I'm interested in seeing how many forum goers here became software/game devs.

Post by: desiderata on July 23, 2014, 06:03:42 PM: I wanted to be an astronaut when I was little. Then I wanted to be a writer. Then I wanted to be a composer. Now I want to be/am a writer. In about ten years I'll probably want to be an astronaut again, to complete the arc.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on July 25, 2014, 12:40:08 AM: I'm a bug tester now. What did I want to be? A paleontologist when I was very young, then a game designer? I've always wanted to make a living out of music but that feels more like a dream than a goal.

I wanted to be an actor. Could still happen I guess.

I wanted to be a baseball player. But didn't have the coordination. Or speed. Or reflexes. Can play pitcher for slow-pitch softball though. Got a mean arc.

Post by: Cerebus on July 25, 2014, 09:39:42 PM: I'm also a "bug tester", although the "official" term is Functionality Quality Assurance Tester. Which sounds better, and more professional. But still, game tester is more understandable.

What did I want to be? Uhm... Well, I once wanted to be an Archaeologist. But that was a long while ago. After that, my interest was science. And it still is. Working in a laboratory and stuff.
Perhaps when I start motivating, I'll try to work toward doing something in that domain.

For now, I'll keep trying my best to ensures released games are bug free!

Post by: Almeidaboo on July 28, 2014, 07:20:53 PM: I wanted and became a lawier, just to realise how much it sucks. And now I dunno what to do.

I may try and start writing. We'll see.
