I'm sure many of you know that it's my aim and ambition in life to become a journalist...but I was just wondering what your ambition is?
I suppose mine is a job - but it could be anything. But I think the best ambitions aren't just one off things...but something that you aspire to be or want to do day-in day-out. So what do you want to be?
I recently heard of someone within the group whom I work for is leaving to become a train driver. Bit of a career change considering he's been a DJ for years and laterly Programme Manager of a radio station. But apparently, he's always wanted to do it! Fair play to him!
So what have you "always wanted to do" ? Or what do you want to be when you grow up? Finally, with all these questions...if those two don't apply to you...have you acheived your ambition, and are you happy?

- BADGER BADGER!I've always wanted to push paper - I got very close when a delivery of letter headed paper came the other day and I took deliver through the tradesman entrance (stop it!) and had to push it on one of those trolley things.
I can only dream of pushing paper, or even pens for real.

Well either to be a succesful songwriter or broadcaster. Right now I don't mind which - they're my two "loves" right now and I don't mind which path ends up being the one I take.
But train driver? Well, if you love your trains then...
