    What Did You Want To Be

    I didn’t want to be anything in particular, I just wanted to be old enough to get a job and earn enough money to get myself out of the poverty we lived in. Well said Phil ... I never really thought about what i wanted to be ..left school at 14 ..Had to wait a month till I was 15 to start work...
