Initially, a tractor driver..guess I made that one happen then!

Later on, a pilot is all I wanted to be. Havn't made it that far, but I do fly a lot and I get to sit in the flight deck with a headset on, so it's not so far off!

when i was a kid i wanted to be an adult

the real goal in life is happieness and its not about money,what youve got or what you havent.
it's a state of mind.

Always wanted to be in RAF and fly .... something to do with my grandad being in the RAF in WW2.

Fell in to sales and marketing mid 20's .... well no ones to be in sales do they ..... and still at it 10 years later.

At least it pay's enough to have a Ducati

Well, as I said above I wanted to be a professional sportsman but I ended up being a professional nerd.

Still, my chosen sport at the time was basketball and the closest I got was being paid to play A grade (not much, it was something like $15AUD for a loss and $30 for a win - but I was 15 so that was a lot of money!) . Got a lot of good memories from playing basketball.
