69 year old rocker, Mick Jagger, one of the world’s most popular singers and band members disclosed to the BBC this week that he might have preferred to be a teacher.  He said that he finds his career in the Rolling Stones “intellectually undemanding” and that following the dreams he had before joining the Stones of becoming a teacher would have been very gratifying.

When he joined The Rolling Stones, Jagger was a student at the London School of Economics, and whilst he looks back on his career fondly, he contemplates where he might have gone in hindsight.

“There are millions of things you would have loved to have done, a politician, a journalist… I thought of being a journalist.

“All these things you think of when you’re a teenager, you can think, well, I would have liked to have done that but that’s completely pointless but I don’t feel frustrated for a lack of control at all and I’m very pleased with what I’ve done.

“Everyone wants to have done more things in their lives.”

What did you want to do when you were a teenager, and in hindsight, would you rathered have taken that path than the one you took?
