For as long as I can remember, all I wanted to be was something where I could be paid to find stuff out and think. I trained in Chemistry, and Chemical Research, and went into industry.
I've never had a job that didn't in some way fulfil my dream of finding out and thinking, although I have worked in hospitals, pharmaceuticals, printing, and now medical devices.
For a time I chased money, and for a time I found it. It didn't make me especially happy, but I now have enough that I no longer have to worry about roof over the family, or food on the table.
I guess, as I've got older, what I've really found is that I want a job where I'm not bored, and earn enough to never be broke.

And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
