What did you want to be when you grew up?

[SueA555]

I wanted to be a detective and solve mysteries.

 

[griz bear]

I wanted to fly helicopters

 

[mareebaybay]

When I was little I wanted to be a athlete. I also wanted to be a engineer when I was younger. Although it is not too late for me to be a engineer it is something I am no longer interested in.

While I was growing up I wanted to be many different things at different stages of my life. When I was a kid, I really really wanted to be a veterinarian. I loved animals so much. I had dogs, cats, turtles, birds, all different kinds of animals. Well as I started growing older and my mom had my little brother, who was put in the NICU, I wanted to be a NICU RN. Now, though, I've talked to doctors and nurses and I've come to realize that the field I will be most successful in is psychiatrics. I'm very good at talking to and helping people through rough times. I just really feel like that's what my final calling is, now!

 

[virtualtraveler]

As far back as I can remember I was always changing what I wanted to be.

Personally I am a big dreamer so one day I may have wanted to be a millionaire and the next I might want to be a soldier in the U.S.M.C.

Anyways, my siblings would always pick on me and say well I thought you wanted to be whatever I said I wanted to be but that didn't stop me from thinking up new things.

One thing that has stuck with me though is wanting to one day be the President of the United States

 

[pandandesign]

I wanted to be a psychologist, but I didn't major in Psychology when I was in college. I am currently majoring in Pharmacy, which is a tough career. I hope I will pass the Pharmacy State Board exam.

 

[The Man]

Motocross racer.

 

[Chrisuren]

Lorry Driver. I still really do want.

 

[eleigh17]

I wanted to be a veterinarian from the age of four. Then I realized how much time and money I would have to spend on college to become a vet and decided it wasn't worth it for me. It seems like a lot of people wanted to be vets when they were younger but it's just such a difficult field to get into.

 

[ArchaeRogue]

I wanted to be a game designer; that was my very first plan. Then, I wanted to be a manga artist around 5th grade. Then I wanted to be an animator during junior high school. Now, I want to be a web designer.

So at the end of the day, you'll never know what you'll end up as. Your future constantly changes as you are influenced by outside actions.

 

[rebel]

I always wanted to work at NASA, but not as an astronaut, but in their computer centre where their employees follow the flights and etcetera, the big room full of computers you see on movies. However, as soon as I went in the 5th grade and started with psychics, the teacher was so bad that I just had to let go of the dream.

I'm all in for being a lawyer now.

 

[MyPaperBleeds]

I believe when I was younger I mainly wanted to be a singer or an actress (movies or on stage). This slowly shifted to professional wrestler because I became big into the WWE/WWF. This shifted to lawyer once I started getting into books written by John Grisham. When I started attending college I just randomly chose something - meteorology. So that's where I'm current working towards right now. Truthfully, though, I'd love to be a successful author. I love writing. I'm currently writing on the side and about to self publish a novel soon. I would love to be able to make a decent amount of money off of writing and be able to live and work at home whenever I want.

 

[SS42A]

I initially didn't plan on it, but I will now be a lawyer. Since I took the lawyer's licensure examination last October, I had a feeling that it's my turn to shine as one. Of course, I also wanted to be a freelance writer too, but once I learn about the results of my licensure examination, I guess there's no turning back. Maybe I knew that from the moment I answered every question during the licensure examination, it measured my aptitude and my desires to be a full-fledged law practitioner.

 

[karmel]

I remember my first grade teacher asking me this and I replied that I wanted to be a nun. I didn't become one; I am a teacher now. I don't remember why I wanted to be a nun but what I can't forget is how my teacher smirked and belittled my answer. I really hated her for that and I swore that I'd never be that kind of teacher.

 

[Susime]

I always wanted to be in the Airforce flying aircraft. Typical boyhood dream yeah. I tried to follow it when I grew up but medical problems put a stop to it

 

[Kotro]

My father is a homicide detective, and growing up surrounded by case files and all kinds of criminal fiction it was only natural that I wanted to follow in his footsteps in my early formative years. Of course I had a much more glamourized version of what police work actually entailed, the image of Phillip Marlowe always in my head. As I grew up my interests broadened and I began looking at different prospective careers. The whole police business soon left my mind as I soon grew some sense - the fictionalization of police work interested me a lot more that the actual work, so I thought I might write about it instead. Turns out I wasn't very good at it. I still try to write some fiction nowdays, but mostly as hobby, don't have enough confidente to try and make a career out of it.
Later I fell in love with architecture, mostly through my mother's influence. But alas, even though the drawing part was easy, it was the maths involved that made it a no-no for me.
So it's kind of weird that I ended up following a career that kind of combined detective work, writing and could, in some way, involve the study of architecture: I became an historian and history teacher. Not the dream career I had planned, but I'm perfectly happy with it.

 

[caparica007]

I wanted to be a lion. I've ended up perusing an education in English and Biology in the meantime. One day, though. One day.

Follow your dreams.

Ah ah a lion, that's something hard to accomplish, you look like a rabbit meanwhile let me tell you.

 

[Makeshifter]

Ah ah a lion, that's something hard to accomplish, you look like a rabbit meanwhile let me tell you.

I told you I'm working on it, you heartless cad! No respect. No respect at all!

 

[Kaylah]

When I was younger, I wanted to be a vet or a makeup artist. Today, I am undecided on what I want to do with my life. I am still trying to figure it out. Luckily, I am still young. I just hope I can figure it out soon.

 

[TheViper]

There were numerous things I wanted to be when I grew. At first I wanted to be a cop and then I wanted to make video games. Then I decided I wanted to make websites for a living and got bored of that. Now, I am into internet marketing and working hard to own my own business.
