A finance project manager at a multinational corporation managing revenue, expenses, cash flow and reporting. Really spread my wings conducting due diligence. Open my chakras analyzing data from many sources at once.

I knew when I was six years old that this was the dream for me.

Talking to a kid that just graduated the other day. Asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.

Him: "A construction manager."

Me: "When you were a kid you dreamt of growing up to be a construction manager?"

Him: "Oh, oh, no. I wanted to be a racecar driver!"

Me: "Well there you go. Be a racecar driver."

Him: "Heh, I couldn't be a racecar driver."

Me: "Why not?"

Him: "......." :brainworms:

So I laughed at the concept of money and grew up happy instead.

I think there's a probably not-insignificant percentage of people around our age that really just wanted their dads to get cool boats and maybe be an inoffensive sitcom dad.

Pastry chef. I wanted to make fancy french pastries with big sugar art and ridiculous amounts of butter and sugar and things we weren't allowed to eat.

Someone who does good

Someone who gets paid to do nothing but play with cats and read and also eat Thai food.

More seriously:
An astronomer! Loved all the astronomy stuff we learned as children. Then I left high school early and spent a lot of time getting high and it turns out you have to take a lot of math and physics and also many astronomers are weirdly misogynist.
I was going through the motions of a finance degree when some friends pointed that, really: I wanted to study infectious diseases! Took a lot of classes and such and it was amazing and I loved it. Then health and finances ganged up on me, the jerks. So now I just read books about infectious disease and astronomy and it's fine!

I learned that all mammals are susceptible to rabies.

I'm very glad she's making money but I also miss her regular updates. :(

Social anxiety/depression issues, right? Retreated to Colorado and lives mostly off-line last I heard. Somewhere on her site she asked people to support Chicken Maker, so I've been a patron for about a year.

Yes, after she moved to Oregon. I didn't know she'd moved again and I really hope things are better for her now.

Might still be Oregon. Might be confusing that storyline with another artist. Things just rattle around in the ole' heady canopy these days. But those comics really saved me a few times. Good energy her way.

When I grow up, I want to be a compliance manager. I really want to make sure people are just...following the rules. To the letter. All the time. GDPR? I can quote all of it, even at 6 years old. HIPAA? You bet. ISO 27001948848573? All over it.

A processes engineer. Ever wonder what you'd answer if someone asked you what exactly it is you do for the company? Well good news, I created a flow chart! Ever wonder what to do when you encounter an unfamiliar situation? Guess what! Flow chart! There's nothing that can't be accomplished by following a rigid, linear process.

Make a list of all the things you don't want to be and then find ways to avoid all that stuff imo
