That was second. I was a HUGE DBZ nerd from 4th grade until graduation.

Orvis. I was given an Orvis for my first rod and just stayed with the brand.

Love fly fishing. I loved it 20 years before I ever tried it.

I wanted to be the first kid on my block with a confirmed kill . Pretty sure I was the first. Now I'm about to go to graduate school to further pursue my career in Psychology. The irony.

I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the air force. It was actually something I wanted to do up until I started college really. Was very close to going into AU's ROTC program including filling out the forms and meeting with them.

I was given some bad info about needing 20/20 vision or close to it to be a fighter pilot at the time. My dad was a career military guy (Army - Green Berets) and sorta wanted me to do something besides the military, so when I started at AU I didn't go into ROTC and just went into the business school and figured it out as I went along.

I had that aspiration as well.

Now I simply settle for being king of my own lil world which seems to keep me content.

I wanted to teach history for almost my entire life until my senior year of high school

Thank god I didn't, I have a hard enough time teaching new people at work shite, I couldn't deal with trying to teach hundreds of retarded teenagers

Life was simple for a farm kid. Just wanted to be an Auctioneer, I would often auction things off on the spot while wearing my Lone Ranger mask and Batman cape.

You can still learn. We had a woman in my hometown who flew into her 80s or 90s (flight instructor too). She was very well regarded, even a bit famous in aviation circles. She prolly flew more decades than anyone. She didn't give up flying or flight instruction until the day she died of natural (non-flying related) causes.

First I wanted to be a cowboy, then a country singer, then a football player, then an archaeologist, then a lawyer, then a basketball player, then a rock star. All of that is in between ages 4 to 11

Anton would not be pleased with such an outlook and would tell you to have fun.

Glad you're still here, FWIW.

There are some wealthy folks running solid waste businesses. Stay away from the mafia types in northeast though.
