Has your life gone the way you expected it to? What did you imagine your life would be like now when you were a child? When you were a teenager? Shortly after education? Somewhere between leaving education and now?

If it's different to what you expected, why?

What about your life in the future? Do you think it will actually turn out that way, or do you think it will be different? Why?

Heh, it was talking with you that inspired me to post this :)

Well, I started off by wanting to be an astronaut. I found out that it was very difficult and I'd have to go into the RAF to stand the best chance. I didn't like that idea - even as a child I abhored violence.

In my teenage years, I realised I needed direction, something to aim for. I knew I was good with computers, but listened to my dad who warned me that doing something you love as a hobby as your main job can suck a lot of the fun out of it. I've found that to be somewhat true..

I've not really changed my focus since my teenage years, and I think sticking to that focus has allowed me to do quite well so far in my career.

Recently I've become more involved in the financial/commercial side of things, which wasn't a direction I'd originally envisioned, and not one I particularly relish, but it's helping me in other areas so I'm happy to get on with it.

Yup, last night was fun, thanks :)

astronaut would be so cool!! I've wanted to be so many things over the years, vet, clothes designer, musician, actress, news reader (don't ask) but bizarley where i am now is a combination of the three things that I have steadily been interested in while growing up. entertainment stuffs - Judder, hair dressing - Loxx, and alternative culture and fashion - Front...w00t!!

my brother was very much into the whole school - army/RAF thing, really scared me and as with you the violence thing is just...rrrr! no!
