i wanted to be
 

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!!

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.

A Toys R Us Kid

The bass player in a lezzie rock band...sort of like L7 for those old enough to remember.

Call in rich. I'm still hoping. ; )

I only wanted to do one thing.......
 

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.....

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

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.
