Childhood dreams change too. iirc, my earliest dreams were to be a photographer, scientist, explorer. My parents eventually convinced me into thinking that being a doctor is the only way to be successful and that was my dream most of my childhood. Later in my early teen years, I was impressed by technology & business and wanted to do tech start up. My parents again convinced me to stay focused on medicine because I could earn enough from it and do my own business in my 40s. And then I got into video games and wanted to make my own games. I started to learn some programming on my own and I was good at it. I was never good with biology and chemistry. Eventually I failed to get into medical school and did computer science. My goal was to make games but I am doing pretty good as a backend-focused fullstack dev.
