Make a decision - Part 1

"What you wanna be one day, son?" they ask you when you are little. "A tractor driver," you answer. Your grandpa has a field which he plows with his tractor. Of course you wanna be like him. You don't really know anything about possible jobs when you are five; how could you?

But as you grow up a little, you are starting to realize that you soon have to choose a direction of your future career. At that time, you certainly forgot that you once wanted to be a tractor driver.

You are unknowingly pushed to think about what you are good at and what you like to do. Once you choose your direction, it's hard to get off the track. The decision changes your life completely and for good.

"What you wanna be one day, son?"


"What youcha wanna be one day, son?" "Whatcha wanna be one day, son?"

This kind of casual writing is perfectly fine, but it's more natural if you're using casual spoken English to more directly recreate it in writing it like this. Reading "What you wanna" is more awkward than reading "Whatcha wanna".
