Well, when I was a kid.... I wanted to be a famous singer. Then when I got to high school and really had to think about it.... I decided I wanted to teaching singing, be a high school choir teacher. Now... as much as I love singing, teaching, and all of that... I have decided I also love working with children with disabilities... Now, I want to be a high school special education teacher.

These are great!
We had high hopes.... It sincerely never crossed my mind that the world would still be here in 2010. |
i vividly remembered that i want to be a clown and a part time astronaut so i can meet astroboy

I went thru many phases, but my earliest memory was wanting to be a prima ballarina, but my dreams were dashed when my mom took me to get enrolled in classes, and the instructor told her I was too chubby...*weeps*.
I also wanted to be an Egyptologist, an actress, and one dream when I was a little older - an architect. However, the math scared me away, so I settled for interior design...never did it professionally, but went to school for it, and practice it on friends and family. They trust my taste, and usually give me 'carte blanche'. It is one of my great passions in life. I also have a penchant for fine fabrics, and tend to hoard them - 'tend' being a severe understatement! lol My latest dream is to be a guest programmer on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). :) |
Hmmm, comparatively seems I didn't dream as big as the rest of you peeps, when I was little always wanted to be a veterinarian.

I was a horse crazy kid with a desire to make horses my life's work,and I did,I went from the $80.00 cheep rent string reject to the best of the best in both the the AQHA and the APHA as well as Appaloosas.First it was barrel raceing to learn how then I joined the WPBRA where I had the time of my life going near every where I could get to.Then I got in to showing horses,it was a blast as well,ive qulified and rode in many world shows and placd in the top ten in all the breed shows I was in.Then I trashed my back ina fall so rideing went out the window so I did halter horses for years as well as had a string of broodmares that I sold the babies they had.Finaly as time went on I ended up out of the horse bizz cuse of not haveing a place to keep them without going into national dept,besides it was time for a change after near 40 years with them.After the horse I had always said I would go to culinary school and become a chef cause I always liked to cook so it was a natural move for me to make,I did that and am now a chef and been a banquett chef for a casino,a sous chef for a 5 star hotel.I reinjured my back in 2007 so the chefing is on hold till its fixed this year..fighting the inshurance company is near impossable when its workerscomp& docs are only looking at the money they acan make on high price surgery,wich the way he described it was not to my likeing,but now with the new ways they do things its going to get fixed cause im not done with being a chef..not by a long shot.

As a youngster, i wanted to be an office worker. i would set up my work desk with an old broken phone, blank forms that i bought (with my own allowance money) at the 5 & dime store, an adding machine (this was pre-pc, people), and old papers that mama gave me. i have no idea who i worked for, but i answered that phone and filled out forms for hours on end. my name was Laurie Mc-something or nother...the last name changed but the first was always Laurie.
Later, i wanted to be a teacher. i still do, kinda. But taking math in college killed me...twice i failed. i still cannot grasp the concept of a few 0s & 1s equaling something other than how many 1s were there. And of course i fell back on the old "i will NEVER need this in real life!" and just gave up eventually. Really, when i grow up, i want to start my own school for physically challenged kids. i grew up at the end of the segregation of "normal" & disabled kids, so i didn't enter regular school until 3rd grade. i always missed the CP (cerebral palsy) school i attended before that. |
F-16 Pilot USAF
Egyptologist Veterinarian Actor Choreographer Librarian Olympian I think I had adhd.... :deepthoughts: |
I thought I would be a man. When I was little I thought I would turn into a man with a penis. No lie. I would get down on my hands and knees and pray to God to change me into a man as I lay sleeping. :moonstars: Jobwise: I wanted to go to Annapolis, and be a Navy pilot. I wanted to fly F-16's/F-18's off carriers. And then go on to fly for NASA. I always fantasized about being a male, and wearing speedo's. :seconddoh: |
I sooooooo Wanted to enroll in Annapolis..
It was that or Citadel Unfortunately, at best, all I could do was Fantasize...and participate in JROTC while I was in high school.. I dropped out, got a G.E.D, on a lark I took the ASVAB... My relatives had me pegged for Jarhead by then ...until I "came out"... |
When I was little I wanted to run an orphanage. All my dolls were orphans.

When I was a kid...I wanted to be a fire fighter. My dad was the fire chief in our town. Since I was daddy's little boi I got to hang out at the station, ride in the trucks, and wear fire helmets. One day it occured to me that I didn't want to have a dangerous career.

I wanted to be a part-time Everything

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.....

I wanted to become a librarian or a professor emeritus... Ok, I wasn't the most interesting child... Kind of boring actually

As a young one I wanted to be a dentist and a football player. I grew up and became a med lab tech in the microbiology department . After being all burned out from that I went back to school and now I'm the RN trauma guy. No more school for me

When I grow up, I want to be a Ranger for the National Park Service. I was doing some research last year, and discovered that they were not hiring people over 40 for this position. However recently I had the pleasure of chatting with a Ranger, and she informed me, that the age thing was for law enforcement Rangers, so I am back on my track with wanting to be a Ranger. Yay!!

Move to New Jersey. The general public is not allowed to pump their own gas. I wonder why.

I want to be a kid in a grown up body
That is all |
i've already done all that i wanted to do as a grown up.
had a great career. raised four kids (well, working on that) became a grandma. now i am not that invested in being a grown up. |
Well when I was really young I wanted to be a burglar when I was older.
No joke, I would take my fathers electrician tape and tape up my white dresses so they had little stripes. I would put my mothers hose over my head and pretend to break into my room. I quickly grew out of that stage. Later on, I wanted to be a lion tamer. |

I only wanted to do one thing.......
|
I wanted to be a hairdresser all my life. It took me a 20-year detour through college, graduate school and corporate America, but I finally made it :)
|
laughin..............hell I'm still not grown up........
however when I was about 8 yrs old I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then in junior high and high school I was going to follow in my Dad's footsteps.........be a teacher and a coach as well as raise horses with my cousin. Then life kept happening while I was making plans. Here I am today.... working every day with dogs.......seems I am coming back in the direction of my 8 year old self..... |
I saw the Google Spider reading this thread and thought I would participate. LOL I wanted to join the Navy way back in the 1960s; but my step-father refused to sign saying only prostitutes and lesbians were in the Navy. I had no idea what he was talking about but the way he said it made me want to join all the more. Then I interviewed for a flight attendant for TWA; Paris New York route. Failed the eye test because I wore glasses. Now that would not be a problem on airlines. So I settled on marriage and children. I did want to be a mother when I was a kid. One child. No husband or father either. I was on the right track to being a lesbian even at the age of 10.:sunglass: How I ended up becoming an accountant/management (and now retired) I have no clue.

For a while I wanted to be Astrogirl - when she walked her feet made the coolest noise! I would walk around going "whoop, whoop" as I walked.
Then my brother got a GI Joe...I wanted to be a Marine! I would sneak off with his GI Joe footlocker and dress Barbie and Midge in the uniforms. I thought Barbie looked so cool in the camouflage fatigues. But with her dark hair, blue eye shadow, red lips and nails she was soooooooo sexy in the dress blues. And really smokin' when she wore them with her open toed heels! I was about to join in the mid-80s but my Mom talked me out of it. My parents wanted me to be a Chemical Engineer - 2 years of studying that with a minor in nuclear physics was enough to convince me it was not for me. I loved the studies but didn't want the job. Next they wanted me to become a paralegal. I didn't want to because it was their idea and not mine. Well, the joke was on me because I AM a paralegal and have been for over 20 years. Go figure! |
first i wanted to be speed racer. then a veterinarian but in high school i took a job in an animal research lab an that dream ended. then i wanted to be a cop but my friend talked me out of it because i have very little patiance with people when they do mean stuff. then my dad got sick so i took over the family trucking bussness driving all over the US. then i had to start working on the trucks to keep them on the road so i worked as mechanic for a few years until dad passed then we desolved the trucking co. my whole life i had a love for and rode harleys so i became a harley mechanic. now im self employed working when i want on just about anything from construction to mechanics. now i just want to ride my harley around and drive an rv to diffrent places to be a camp host wearing funny shorts and pick up garbage with a stick that has a nail in the end of it

a Domestic Diva... I had the apron and everything...

I don't remember having any thoughts of what I wanted to be... I was mostly in my day as a kid. Then came high school and while others were planning their futures, I was experimenting with drugs(early seventies).
A year after high school, I went to a community college where I earned an Associate Degree in Mental Health/Social Service; and never pursued the field further. Moved a lot after that, working all kinds of jobs; and although I always took courses at the nearest college, I never stayed anywhere long enough to obtain a degree. At the age of 25 I realized I needed a REAL job. I still didn't have any idea of what I wanted to be... I knew what I didn't want. I didn't want to be behind a desk all day and I didn't want to be in one place all the time. Back to school I went - became a Respiratory Therapist because the description in the college catalogue said I'd get to work with people and machines, and "moving around" was implied. It's now 30 years later and I consider myself very lucky... I still like what I do, am always learning something new, and if you need me, page me - I could be anywhere. |
