7 Occupations I Wanted To Pursue While Growing Up by jacksondavies(m): 5:36pm On Feb 06, 2021
Earlier this year I was looking back at my life and realized I had gone through a lot of phases. I grew up having a lot of dreams, goals, and ideas which I pursued at one time or another.

I thought I'd roll down memory lane and recap some of the lives I could have lived.

1. An Artist

This was the first thing I ever told anyone I wanted to be. I've always had a love for art and I pursued an art career on and off for years. I got serious in 2020 though and made some dough dropping my #art out there.

2. A Movie Director

I've always been a big fan of #movies and at a point in time I considered making them. This was complicated to pull off as it required finance, diverse skills and a skilled team to make it happen. I tried some solo #animation but this never really took off.

3. A Game Developer

#Gaming has been a lifelong passion and I loved it so much that I tried to make one. I got a game engine, was getting set to learn #Blender and some #programming and.... my PC crashed.

I never got a new one and this dream went down the drain.

4. A Writer

As I got older I discovered I had a talent for #writing. I played around with blogging and started a couple blogs which I didn't maintain.

I had some success writing on forums, and made some dough on #Steemit in 2018 and #Hive in 2020.

5. A Music Producer

I happen to love #music and I've tried my hand at making it. I had no singing skills or talent, so I just stuck to making beats.

I pulled off a couple jams, but I wasn't born with the soul of a musician so this didn't last.

6. A Dancer

When I was a teen around 13-14 I loved dancing so much I wanted to become a dancer. I spent countless hours on Youtube learning the hottest #dance moves.

This continued for a while until I got older and jaded and quit most of pop culture.

7. A Magician

After encountering the likes of David Blaine and Chris Angel, I knew I had to get on that #magic sauce. So I bought a deck of cards and started learning street magic.

I did this for a while before I lost interest and moved to other things.

There you have it. 7 different passions of mine that shaped my life at different points in time.

Right now I'm really strong on the writer and artist fronts and that's what I want to focus on going forward.

What did you want to be growing up?. Did you have one dream or multiple?

Let me know in the comments.

undecided

I have always wanted to be
1. A pastor (A very religious guy then)
2. A surgeon (Because of how cool it sounded)
3. An engineer (studying)
4. A programmer (working towards)
5. An artist (even when it was clear I had little talent on it. I was just a crazy fan of art)
6. Footballer (I lost motivation when a new guy came to our neighborhood and dribbled me. I was the best player in our neighborhood before then. It was a stain on my image)
7. Etc
