I once wanted to be a taxi driver. There was this long period of time in my childhood when I wanted to be a Marine Biologist and after that I have no idea why I wanted to be a taxi driver and/or pianist. It was somehow connected to a weird series of dreams I had with taxis and pianos, but it made sense at the time.
In high school there was also a period of time that I wanted to be a Culinary Artist, a really classy chef of some sort. But then I thought about it further and abandoned the plan when I decided I really wanted to go to college. Then I wanted to be a Journalist and from there I switched to mathematics and have been happy ever since.
I hope some day to inspire some kid, in a far away universe, to say "I want to be a mathematician when I grow up..." But I could just be dreaming...
