Dream jobs as a child which you wouldn't want to do now as an adult?

Of course many want the cool, dangerous stuff. I was thinking doctor, but then I'm too squeamish about blood and guts. I mean - I can handle taking apart a chicken with giblets in the kitchen, but real gore is something else altogether. At other times it was fighter pilot after my dad bought me a plastic scale model of the USS Eisenhower, but then I was nearsighted and that's kind of not going to happen. And it's still a pretty dangerous occupation, although many retire and go into the far safer occupation of being a commercial pilot.
