No. My first choice was to become a pilot but it was too expensive.

I wanted to become a mechanic, specializing in computer diagnostics and body repair including restoration. My father was supportive but not the industry itself (male dominated industry in90's) so I decided to get into Management and here I am. Jack of all trades and master of none :) 

My first choice was audits and Im happy I failed in audits, so I am doing what naturally fits to me: sales training and management.

No, I was hoping to be a doctor, but the total of my grades did not qualify me for it, I entered the college of Engineering, now I am a civil engineer

No . I had dream to be an Engineer (civil) but i failed my college entrance exam  :)

No , I was a News presenter on television , I was in media now I'm a typical marketing management person but they are near functions so I did not live a very dramatic and radical change . Media is still a part of Marketing .

My first choice is Mechanical Drafting/Design, however I found I can be happy if I work in Engineering Assisting a Team, Project Managers or in Purchasing as a Technical Buyer ... combining my skills makes the most sense and  I am not getting bored with just one field ...
