I wanted to go into space - which is a bit hard, as Australia doesn't have a space program.

My second choice was to be a pilot. Aside from the fact that I don't have 20/20 vision (laser correction wasn't a thing in the 80's), I discovered from doing gliding for a bit that I preferred looking out at the world to actually doing the flying.

So I ended up being a computer nerd. Something that is far more socially acceptable today than it was 40 years ago.
