Aktuell arbeite ich Freelancer seit neuestem und bin das erste mal sehr unabhängig. Es ist gut weil ich sehr flexibel bin und ich mit meine Kinder/ Familie trotzdem Zeit verbringen kann. Davor war ich als Krankenpflegerin tätig und wollte dennoch nicht in den Medizinischen tätig werden sondern Grafikdesign was ganz gut ist wo ich jetzt stehe mein Weg hat eben Umwege gemacht und das sollte so sein.

This is superb that you found the profession that is making you feel comfortable and independent. I am sorry I can only read your language but cannot type it.

When I was a kid, I wanted to go into radio. 

I ended up doing that straight out of high school and getting a job at the local radio station. That career lasted 22 years and included stints at six different radio stations in the region. It was a fun gig in the 70s and 80s, for sure!

[teamandromeda]

Yes it´s similar what I do now although all those things like apps & internet were not there. I wanted to write books and also draw paintings in them and as well becoming a pianist. (Now I write SEO texts such as blogs, educational material etc) I grew up in a street with music students and my neighbour was a pianist as well, so I sat down next to her when I was 3. My parents couldn´t afford a real piano, but they gave me a casio mini keyboard that time, I think it was one of my first bday gifts I could remember. (I´m a classical music composer). Next to that I liked building houses from lego, so, something with houses. (Me & my now exhusband started building & flipping houses 12 years ago). Yes, I like what I do and hopefully it will earn enough for our family.

Yup. There's something about being that invisible voice coming out of a box.

This is interesting. I also write about SEO and blogs. I published a poetry book with pen and ink paintings. You can also work on a book slowly (whenever you have extra time) and create its PDF and Kindle versions. Best of luck!

I have self-published 20+ titles myself with half of them as eBooks on KDP. It's a good way to burn off some writing energy...lol

Yeap, At 12 I wanted to be an accountant. Even though I didn't know at that time what is the actual rule of an accountant.

Right from my childhood(as earlier as when I was in 3rd standard), I've always wanted to be an engineer and build things . I'm more into experimenting with stuff and reverse engineering things. Currently, I am building things that excite me the most in irl. In-fact, even if I were not paid, I would be doing the same things I am doing now 😇
