What do you want to be when you grow up

[Specforces]

I think a better title for this thread would be, "what are your life goals and ambitions?" Still, I understand the question. What do I want to be when I grow up? At one time I wanted to be an archeologist. This was when I was 12 years old. Soon, that notion was dismissed and I decided that I wanted to be a chef and own my own restaurant. After awhile, I realized it wasn't what I wanted either. Then, I decided that I wanted to be a CIA agent. This is what led me to the military. After being in the military for almost 2 years now, I've realized that this goal would not suffice either. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted. What could I do in this world? Something that would make me happy, something that would be productive. After all of this time I've decided that I want to be a college professor. To reach out to the minds of today's youth. To teach life lessons, change lives for the better, and force people to think. Society today is stuck in the grooves of what they're told to do. We don't need drones, we need thinkers and ambitious creators. From grade school on you're groomed to become a "good" member of society, I think some ways need changing.

To sum it up: history, culture, philosophy professor.
