Damn....memories!
I had one set of ideas (who doesn't want to be a fighter pilot growing up after watching crap like Airwolf, Topgun, etc). while my parents of course had similar ideas but in more practical routes (plumber, electrician, etc.). Then there was the ultimate option: live at home while Ma and Pa pay for everything, leave you to do whatever it is you felt you needed to do to "find" yourself and then just support you when you had discovered online gaming that allowed you to never leave the house.
I eventually chose neither option (because two of them were never really options anyway with the third being ruled out because I'm blind as a bat).
Back on topic I remember always wanting to get the N-Gage thing that was a mix of a cell phone and a hand-held gaming console. It was too expensive (and hard to get hold of locally) at the time but I still wanted one with a passion. It did appear to fail someone badly though so I should probably be thankful for living in a shit-hole country lol. It had bomberman dammit!
