    Wow, lots of good ones. I will have to steal a few of the ones mentioned already, NASCAR driver, detective, and a football scout all sound like fun.

    Owning a big dairy farm with lots of crop land has always interested me as well. Tons of work, but I think I would enjoy it a lot.

    I would've loved to have been a veterinarian. I always loved animals as a little kid and wish I would've pursued it. I still think about it quite a bit.

    Everyone that knows me asks me why I am not a forest ranger.

    When I was in high school I wanted to be a state cop.

    In my adult life I've mostly wanted to be a personal trainer

    Wanted to own and run a hunting outfit in northeast KS and southeast NE. Had access to land in NE and was working on some in KS, but I met my to be wife and never looked back. Nowhere else I would rather be right now but with my wife and girls.

    I always wanted to work for the railroad. I think it would be a cool way to see the country by way of the train.

    Growing up I wanted to be some kind of personnel protection type job, secret service or DOS agent, in the military I actually did that somewhat and worked with those federal agencies couple times. Had everything set up that it woulda been easy to transition into when got out of military but chose to come back home and now that opportunity is pretty much gone.

    That pick is as close as I got, I'm first on right and in this pic I'm packing. Did that three times for her and once for Bush overseas.

    I always wanted to be a CSI guy. I was really into the shows and liked trying to figure things out.

    I understand the crop land part but milking cows is one the last things I would consider enjoyable. :) Twice a day...EVERYDAY

    Growing up near Watkins Glen, NY and watching Formula 1 race there back in the day - I always wanted to be an F1 Driver! My brother wanted to be the mechanic. We were on our way too until a buddy broke his neck in a cart roll-over right in front of my mother. That ended our racing career dreams - immediately!

    I know that I'm right where I was suppose to land though... and couldn't be happier with my profession. I just wish I was about 30 years younger :)
