Re: When You Were Young...

I don't remember my childhood too much, but always wanted to be an astronaut too.

Now, several years later, I want to be a psychoanalist. Great change.

Re: When You Were Young...

I wanted to make games from a very early age. When I was 5, I used to make games on paper (don't ask me how you were supposed to play them, lmao). I had this desire to make games until high school, and then I considered becoming some kind of engineer. And then, somehow, I went to college and did business/economics for practical reasons (I didn't want to end up being an underpaid code monkey somewhere).

Of course, I learned all too late that business, while fun sometimes, is not nearly as exciting as computer stuff is for me, no matter how much it pays. I find that being good with programming/cse and business/math is a killer combination, but it still doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love games.

I learned a lot in college, but I would have had more fun studying what I loved (i.e. I should have been an engineer).

Of course, who knows what I'll be saying five years from now. Perhaps this was a wise investment.

Exactly why I am in mathematics-informatics in college.

And when I was really younger I wanted to be a policeman. No idea why, but for some reason that attracted me. Then, for quite a while, I simply had no idea other than I wanted to go into something science-related. And here I am today.
