Discussion time: When you were growing up, what did you want to be when you were older? What was your dream job? Have you achieved it?

Bio tech / software engineering. Ended up doing computer science, got derailed by a game called World of Warcraft

Fun story: At University one of my modules was about cinematography. We had to write 2 essays, both about the same subject, the 2nd essay just had a longer word limit. I was so hooked on WoW at the time that I left the 2nd essay to the very last minute, just re-used the 1st essay

and extended it a bit to meet the new word limit. Then I got done for plagiarism... for plagiarism myself. Funnier part of it is, if I hadn't done that, it would've meant I got a First instead of a 2:1 overall. But even funnier part is, look where I ended up.

So you were film?

I did a major in Media & Sociology with a minor in Psychology. The degree was pretty much sold to me as mostly practical work but it ended up being about 90% theories of old men who were very angry with the world
