Title: What did you want to grow up to be when you were little?
Post by: Samus Aran on April 27, 2011, 10:16:08 AM

Just like any other kid, at one point I wanted to grow up to be a firefighter. When I was in middle school, I figured I'd be a lawyer. I can't believe I actually thought that. Blech. At some point I also wanted to be some sort of a biologist.

I think the thing I kept coming back to the most, though, was being a paleontologist. Man, I was fucking nuts for dinosaurs. I had dinosaur books and toys of all sorts and I daydreamed about digging up bones and maybe one day finding that elusive Kazosaurus. What a kickass profession it must be to be an on-the-field paleontologist. Of course, I guess most of their work is actually done in museum basements, but still.
