Post subject: What did you want to be....

Hey,

When I was younger I wanted to be....
As a kid I wanted to be professional snooker player, highest break on a fullsize table still remains at 46.... MotoGP Champ Valentino Rossi's number spooky heh.

I currently....
Work for a law firm in South London as a Litigation clerk, so no I dont earn the big bucks..

I would like to do....
As little as possible...lol
Settle in Shanghai teach some English and maybe become an Interprater later on, or start an export business

My dream job....
Have a lifetime VIP pass for every MotoGP race, and would love to commentate alongside Julian Ryder & Toby Moody on the Eurosport channel. Very Happy

When I was younger I wanted to be...

King of the World!!!!!

I currently....

Teach kindergarten, so technically I'm king of a group of 4-years old's world.

I would like to do...

As little work as possible....
Stay in Shanghai, teach part-time for maximum pay, study Chinese to keep my brain alive, maybe become a writer or interpreter at some point, and travel to south east asia as much as possible.
