    Signalman or Computer Programmer.

    Interestingly, I was a signalman - in fact I managed a whole railway line. And now I am a computer programmer.

    I've no more ambitions.

    I wanted to be an egyptologist or archaeologist. I think I used to watch too much Indiana Jones. In the end Lara Croft beat me to it

    Ironically, I still want to be the same thing now that I wanted to be all through my youth: a cop.

    Since I was five years old, I wanted to be a cop, and I still do.

    Other careers that spun through my head at one time (though none ever dislodged the desire to be a Garda):

    -(mad) scientist
    -(mad) doctor
    -author
    -forensic scientist
    -journalist
    -paramedic
    -plumber

    I was circling over the whole area of law / law enforcement when I was younger, but wound in something completely different. I'm starting college next month to get me back on track. Hope it works out for you! ;)
