From 6 to 13 I wanted to be an architect.
From 13-16 I wanted to be either an architect or an automotive designer (when I found out people got paid to do that!), and be a writer too.
I went to architecture school for three years, got sacked after one of my professor's (who to this day has still never had anything he's designed built) told me I had no talent. I still toyed with the idea of writing a novel.
Changed my major to history and political science without any real clue as to what I was going to do.
At 21 got the idea to go into the Foreign Service for the State Department. That lasted until I was 24 when I was rejected for the foreign service...
Worked in retail, government, and non-profit for six years.
And now I'm a Greek Advisor (and my novel is well under way).
