In my case, in my self-loathing younger days, I answered the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” with “I want to be a garbage collector.”
Now, I’m collecting garbage, but because I want to apply the boy scout principle: leave the place cleaner than when you arrived.

I wanted to make games as a job. I now make games as a hobby/casual side thing alongside a regular job (looks at state of gamedev industry) … and it seems I dodged an entire drone strike with that one.

I used to wish that I could be part of a loving family, who all cared for one another. Well, I have that. It’s currently a family of two, but that’s enough.
