When you were younger, did you know what you wanted to be? When I was a freshman in highschool, I realized I didn't have what it takes to reach my dream job. I wanted to be a infectious disease doctor like my dad, but I had shit grades and I didn't even try to build up my resume with sports or clubs. Now I'm in my fucking 20s with no job. So what about you robots?

I never had any aspirations, no dreams for the future. I just got by with the minimum amount of effort possible, and then went home to play video games.

When I was little I had a silly dream of being in the army. I quickly realized later that A) I was always going to be an unhealthy person unfit for service, and B) getting shot at fucking sucks and is in no way worth it.

Beyond that my only aspiration was to carry on my family lineage, but to do I'd need to get a girlfriend first, and every day my prospects grow less appealing.

I never had a dream job to look up to. Ended up dropping out of college because I couldn't see myself working on the area or at least doing a decent job if I ever ended up employed also too dumb to finish some classes
As a kid I would switch my mind between wanting to be some random shit that would interest me every couple of months or just not bothering about it because everything sorts itself out.
I remember in eighth or ninth grade being asked in school to write a text about what we wanted to be when we grow up. I wrote some defeatist shit saying I would just end up getting a shit job like my parents just to get by. My mother would check on my home work at the time, she was like "yea, thats ok".
I'm now in the future and I can see I was wrong neet life, living the dream

Been there too. I kind of regret not following it. I'm unhealthy because I was a faggot who couldn't make the effort to eat like a man and practice a sport. Otherwise I would have a nice paying job and I would do jack shit everyday

I really don't regret my choice of not pursuing the army. When I was little my only idea of war came from WW II movies, games, and children's books. I thought the only type of war was conventional war. As I grew up I slowly realized that war is shitty, especially modern guerrilla warfare.
I'd rather be in my current situation than live with PTSD induced by an IED.

When I was younger I wanted to be in the Navy as an officer, then I wanted to go into politics. I doubt I will ever do either.

When I was a kid I was always tearing stuff apart, even if I didn't know how I was going to put it back together again. At some point I was introduced to personal computers, and knew that I wanted to do something with them when I grew up.

I didn't even really know what that would be, or any of the specifics. I just knew I wanted to be a cool computer guy. Fuck, I probably thought playing Oregon trail and math blaster was a passable thing to do for a living when I was young. I don't remember.

Somehow, someway I managed to pull through a rather shaky high school experience and eventually after going to college and a few years of bitch work I landed a network technician title. And this is probably as far as I'm ever going to make it. I don't want to be a manager. I just want to fix shit, and have people tell me what to fix. That symbiotic relationship is enough for me to thrive on if I can keep it going.
