Anyway, like many other kids in the world i was fascinated by space and sci-fi stuff. As a result, it came naturally that i wanted to be an astronaut (what a novelty). When i realised that this could not be the case, i was deeply traumatised, something that made me pursue a degree in psychology. Whilst im still in the process of self-cognitive-therapy, i also have a research question. Why all bloody kids in the world want to leave earth!?

They see movies and documentaries about it, and it all seems like an awesome adventure to them. Also, kids have a lot of limitations placed on them, so maybe going to space represents the ultimate freedom and lack of limits in their minds.

I didn't really know then and I still don't know now.

I mostly wanted to do something technical (car design, aircraft engineering etc) but I did the square root of fuckall in highschool and achieved barely enough to get by. I regret not applying myself more, because looking back on things, I didn't have enough fun to justify slacking as much as I did.

Having said that, I think I now prefer having more interests and hobbies instead of a job I love. I really like my job, I'm good at it and I like my company. But it's just a job. I've always gone at work with full commitment but I don't get too attached to them. They're just sources of income which allow me to do other things I love.

I guess my fear would be landing a job that matches my dreams more, then working at it and it ruining my happy hobby (if that makes sense)

You are right. There is an answer actually stating that daydreaming (which invloves excessive imaginary "simulations")enhances the cognitive and social processing that occur duting development.

I just wanted to create some suspense with my question and you ruined it with your adult logical thinking

lessee...

lawyer, zoologist, teacher, writer (creative and philosophical), artist, musician, then probably settled on teacher at some stage cause i can do a bit of everything but avoid the crippling agony of having to be so involved in something that i have to commit suicide in a tragically ironic way...

pretty sure those are in order too... pretty much thought about 'working' in every creative field, but i really hate the politics of 'creative' scenes, cause i do it for enjoyment, and can't be fucked dealing with wankers who just care about image and money... i get enough out of them to not have to be paid for em anyway
