I wanted to be a doctor then custom officer but in my deep inside I had a biig interest to be a business professional.. currently I’m in marketing and biz development.. I don’t know where I will end up .. but hope for the best ✌️
@lilangani_rathmale what about now? What’s you’re dream job?

@slimmy82 To be honest I really love what Im currently doing. It’s like a mix of doing marketing, and business development. So the scope of the things I can learn spread across business and economic world. also as it’s related to AI , things I get to learn are more exciting 😁

I wanted to be a boss. Everyone in my hometown wanted to be a boss. However, after finishing school, I became a Python engineer and now I do some sales stuff too. 😑

I wanted to become a teacher... Now I am in between of a lot of things! Being the person who adds background music to movies would be cool though..
@mansi_trivedi1 what would you teach? Anything specific? I never used to notice the music in movies but now I realize how important it is to set the mood and feeling
Mansi Trivedi
@slimmy82 I think probably English or Personality Development, the things I'm good at aren't really included in the syllabus right now.
@mansi_trivedi1 think there are so many other things we can teach kids about real life than just the “educational” usual stuff.

That description 😁 Made my morning! I feel you, wanted to be a pilot of 737! But to be honest, I enjoy building things a lot and am so thankful for the freedom it gives me. However, I have to say 3D animation for Pixar sounds extremely cool! Perhaps, you would be the one working on another classic like the following of "Cars" in collab with Disney! *"Life is a highway" playing in the background* 😁
@matej_cabadaj ooh a pilot sounds really cool. I’m blind as a bat so I would fail the test.

That's awesome! I bet you bring a lot of creativity and storytelling to your sales role. Who knows, maybe you'll still get to work with Pixar in some capacity in the future!
@stylar_max it’s funny you say that, I actually have the ability to build very strong business relationships so it definitely helps my role as sales. It’s about characters and understanding them

When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a part of the medical field, but as I got older, I got really into the digital world. I pursued a career as a UX/UI Designer because it aligns with my passion. Love it.

I wanted to be a marine biologist and somehow ended up in tech content marketing - very far away from the ocean 😂

I wanted to become an astronaut and float through our galaxy 😅
Vivek Sharma
@slimmy82 yes, and here in my city there is a planetarium that gives you the feeling of floating in the space alongside the marvelous stories of our cosmos. This is the place that inspired me to be dream off being an astronaut in the future.
@vivek_equp that’s awesome. Where are you based?

Either I wanted to be an astronaut or a doctor. Well, here I am now doing marketing things. 😺
@saniyyah haha, what if you helped marketing for Nasa? :)

As a kid, I dreamt of being a doctor. The idea of helping people and making a difference always fascinated me.

I wanted to be police. Everyone is under control.

Weird enough if I think of it today, but I wanted to become a scientist while all I did as a kid was to unscrew and screw toys and (sometimes) make them work again.

I wanted to be a Doctor...or so that's what my parents wanted. Sorry, Asian parents. 😅
