Sounds like you had them young. Could work in your favour, by the time they're self sufficient you'll still be young enough to go and chase!Since about the age of 12, after playing in a footy team where 75% of my team were in and out of juvie (the Don Dale Corrections bus would literally drop them at training/games), i'd always wanted to be a police officer or do something to help at risk kids. Graduated high school, studied and graduated a Criminology degree..... then had kids and worked a cushy IT job whilst studying. Still stuck in that IT job now (7 years after highschool) , and am too scared/nervous to leave and chase my police dream. Would have to take a big paycut, and run the risk of it not working out and leaving my family at risk financially. Stuck in a rut!

Do you have a mortgage or are you renting?
i might be missing something here, please clarifyI wasn't even living in the same state as my partner when she got pregnant with our first (we did long distance for a long time).

Great success story. Well done!1. Wanted to play AFL - played at a reasonably high level but too lazy
2. Then wanted to become a lawyer - A mix of being to lazy and not intelligent enough at high school
3. Worked as an accountant while studying after high school - Became bored after 5 years at an engineering firm - 3 years in Perth then internal transfer to Melbourne for 2
4. Then stuffed around for a year or 2 in Melbourne in a couple of crappy analyst type roles not knowing what I wanted to do and feeling sorry for myself after a long term relationship break up
5. Then moved from Melbourne to Sydney to take up a cushy government role as a Property Analyst - Always had a passion for property
6. Moved from the cushy government role in to a demanding role with a new Chinese Property Developer
7. Now in London as Head of Investment as a 30 yr old starting up the UK office for a Fortune 500 Company (same company as No. 6)
So not really what I saw myself doing when I was in school but absolutely love the work I do
Funny how things work out
I wanted to be a cop.
I ended up working in mental health palliative care disability care aged care ect.
So many people in mental wrongly treated with medication and just made sicker.
When in mental health , The amount of people who were suicidal on Zoloft and efexor ect and then told they had biplor and given more dangerous drugs. It wasnt funny.
Well done, mate. Becoming a ceo in your sights?1. Wanted to play AFL - played at a reasonably high level but too lazy

My honest opinion - don't think about an industry as such - work out what drives you, what your passions are, and then do something that takes hold of that passion and it leads you into a career that you like. I think people can often get bogged down in following paths and applying for certain things to get somewhere else. Sometimes you need to smash the glass ceiling as such, and create your own pathway
Yeah it comes down to personal circumstance and interest. For me, I spent a lot of time and money trying to push towards a dream, and I didn't focus on what the end-goal was as such, I just wanted to leave it untapped and know that what I was doing I loved, and it paid off with my hard work being recognised. But it is a case-by-case basis.I'm a bit the other way. I'm in the data center industry which is experiencing double digit growth and will continue to explode, I'm really trying to stay within this vertical to ensure my future. I guess what drives me is providing a stable future for my family, would love to work in music or sport but this won't do that well enough.
me too. But my "then" was 27 years ago, lol.didn't know where I wanted to be then, still don't know now
Yep, I agree.No, l don’t encourage trying to decide your ‘life’ as a 17/18 year old, you need to find your passion first

In year 12 at the moment, really set on doing Civil Engineering. Did it for work experience and I loved it, but my biggest fear is getting into it and hating it. Reading a lot of the comments on here I can't help but I feel I might just be on this thread in 10 years time saying the same thing. I love city building video games and so i am hoping to someday get into a town planning position.
