I wanted to become a Chef...I'm thinking about following it through now that I'm nearly 30 years old...anyone have any crazy career plans when they were a kid that never followed through?How about people who banked on working in a profession and actually made it there?peace.

    I used to make militant Hip-Hop in my early teens, too.

    So, basically I didn't get laid until I listened to Nine Inch Nails.

    I had aspirations of being the greatest Jewish rapper in history.



    Now that I've acheived that I've moved on to other fields of interest

    But you forgot about my hommie Paul Barman (FACT: I was in fact meant to do cuts on his debut full-length, but I didn't get my ass in gear to get over to Mike Van Olden's house...)

    I wanted to be a recording engineer/producer, and I mean in a legitimate sense with a certificate and everything.

    I wanted to be a successful motorcycle racer my dad, grandad & uncle. That all went foul when I sold my dirt bike & bought an electric guitar & amp to follow career choice number 2 which was rock star. That was in turn put on hiatus for a stretch while I tried to become a pro skater. To cut a long story short. I have never raced a bike but do still ride and restore older bikes. I got sponsored skating but then blew my sub-taler joint into little pieces which required major re-constructive surgery so I only occaisionally skate now. I am still doing the bands thing but rock stardom has been replaced by my settling for being a music teacher and actually getting a steady paycheck from music.

    i wanted to be an architect or an astronaut since the first time i remember being asked what i want to be when i grow up.

    now i work long hours tripping out anthony pearson and designing a new library for the city of west hollywood and two private homes. the library is much more rewarding, probably the best project i have ever worked on.

    p.s. ap don't trip out i work for raers.

    Let's just say that Alex P. Keaton was my idol. I guess I wanted to be a yuppie? Fortunately, things didn't work out that way.

    Hey,



    I wanted to be a professional jazz drummer, but instead, I became a college professor. My parents were not very supportive of me pursuing a musical career due to the uncertainty of it. In 1992, Jillian Rogers, an A&R lady at Idolmakers Mgt. (who liked that Birds of a Feather stuff on my Soundclick site but couldn't sign us) said to move to NYC to pursue hip hop production. Having been programmed by my folks to be a "worker bee" instead of an artist, I chose to finish college (c/o 1993) and go on to graduate school. I always wondered what would've happened if I had jetted to NYC...



    Peace,
