What do you want to be when you grow up?

When you were little did anybody ever ask you "what you wanted to be when you grow up"? I remember couple of years ago I cracked my kids up when I told them I wanted to be a garbage man. We lived in Mishawaka up until I was 8yrs old so every Thursday was garbage day and I always thought those guys had such a cool job because they got to ride on the back of the truck and throw stuff in the back of it and pull a little lever and smash stuff which to an 8 yr old is pretty cool. The unfortunate thing is I didn't know about all the nasty stuff they have to put up with that existed in the world of the garbage man beyond the curb in front of our house. After watching an episode of Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel about picking up trash in San Franciscos China town im glad I didn't pursue my dream since it is really a nasty job but im glad somebody does it and I gladly pay my garbage man to pick up our trash.
