What did you really want to be?

  I wanted to be a Mathematics Professor or an Oceanographer.

  I had scholarship offers. I was afraid to even talk to my parents about them.

  My father would go into a violent rage at the mere hint of college. So.

  I spent 30 years in business, mostly as a business consultant, made a good

  living but really not enjoying work life very much except for the friends I made.

  Now I am trying to become a successful clay artist. It will be an uphill climb,

  but this time I am deciding the direction my life is taking. It is rewarding, trying

  to build one's own business.

  car designer. Any time I'm driving I'm checking out car designs, why every body panel is a certain shape etc. I re-design in my mind just about every car that I see. I understand why those all time stunning cars are successful. I draw cars all the time - often in business meetings when I'm bored.

  I needed a degree. Even as a born-in I could probably have managed it but my JW parents were just depressingly impossible to live with so couldn't really do further education. I'm just grateful I've managed to graft together a successful career.

  I also wanted to be Batman.
