I don’t care about the kids under 30. The funnier the better, and the older you are the more I want to know: what would you like to be when you grow up?
Achievable goals fall short of true potential.

    I want to run a nice and simple wine bar where wine enthusiasts can get an affordable glass of wine based on my data driven recommendations. I want the place to be a chill hang with music, comfy seats and sandwiches and stuff.

    If I had the money I wouldn’t even need it to be profitable.

      That sounds cool. Have new people entering taste 3-5 wines and score them. Based on that they get a recommendation. Score that to further refine the tasting profile. When they return they can just enter a code or scan a card from last time to pick up their profile to keep evolving it.

        Yeah I personally don’t like you need an account for everything and data gathering and all but this can be completely anonymous, no marketing, no e-mail phone number anything required.

        Maybe link it to your Vivino but only if you want.

    I’m 35 and when I grow up I want to be psychotherapist. However, I hate university. Fun!

    I would like to be with two chicks at the same time. Other than that, nothing. I want to be happy and I think that would make me pretty happy for quite awhile.

    If I grow up, I failed. 43 years and counting, I’m still on the winning path. Aged? Yes. Matured? A bit. Grew up? Hell no.

    So many things. Sometimes I feel like going into politics, because everything there is so crazy. I take this as a sign that my brain is fried from too many meetings.

    It would be cool to do a startup making something cool, but honestly I don’t want to put in the extra hours and I don’t want to risk the comfortable lifestyle my current job provides.

    A scientist. It’s never going to happen because I’m 72. At school I was pushed into languages, history etc because I wasn’t good at maths. I was good at general science though, especially chemistry, and I enjoyed it.

    After I retired I took up beekeeping and have lately rediscovered my love of science. I have two microscopes and am studying bee anatomy and pollen identification. There’s an exam later in the year for a certificate that will open further areas of study, but I doubt my skills are up to the challenge (eg dissecting a bee in front of the examiner). However, I am really enjoying the whole process of making slides and examining them. I would have loved doing this as a job.
