I don't care about the kids under 30. The funnier the better, and the older you are the more I want to know: what would you like to be when you grow up?
Achievable goals fall short of true potential.

Well, I am doing pretty well for myself in a combination of IT, geophysics, and offshore/ship stuff.... but when things aren't going my way at work I still conclude that it's t8me to get the necessary licenses to finally become a crane driver.

I've driven a lot of cranes (ships cranes, mostly), but I'm talking about those huge tower cranes - chilling alone at the top, and once in a while someone calls you on the radio, needing something lifted from A to B. Seems chill as fuck, and no searoll to worry about either.
