"What do you want to be when you grow up?" -- along with "Where are my keys?" -- is one of life's most confounding questions, and one that contains a misguided presumption that there is an identifiable point at which one is "grown up."
The former question is a pillar of the linear approach to life, one that holds that each step must build upon its predecessor, that every move that isn't forward is in fact a move backward. I have no time for such angular thinking.
