    I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was young. Then I learned that I would need to spend a lot of time outside in the sun instead of inside in the dark so I decided to be a software dev instead.

      Same, except I am a legal tech and professional artist.

      I love that I can make my money in a dark, air-conditioned room and just read about all the cool shit we’re learning about dinosaurs.

      I really wanted to be an archaeologist. I still love archaeology and take a keen amateur interest in it.

      But my knees would never have survived it.
