I want to be... hmph.
I've always struggled with that particular question. As an adolescent, I liked books and drawing. I dreamt of becoming the next George Perez, and even did a wonky Teen Titans comic book on lined foolscap.
I started in retail quite young, and didn't mind the routine; customers interrupting my watching of the Price is Right (on a badly hidden, tiny black and white television) I did mind. High school, my first stint at college, and University offered no answers; I realized that I was ok at Math, hated Geography and History, and skipped way too many classes hunting down used cds at Cheap Thrills, or playing cards.
Working at Felix and Norton as a young adult was at first alot of fun; ultimately, I ascended to assistant manager, until my eventual burn out (and burned bridges) lead me to seek my fortunes away from the cookie-buying public. Answering phones next was boring, but at least I met my best friend and the love of my life in that gloomy office.
I eventually decided to return to my artistic roots.
To be continued...
