I wanted to be the Vampire's girlfriend.

I also wanted to be a ballet dancer.

I never dreamed I'd be restraining people for a living!

Well, let's see,,first memory of a "career choice" was, as someone else stated earlier, was to be like Jane Goodall and study apes in the wild.

By junior high, I was ready to be an oceanographer, and even joined a club that went to NOAA once a month,,sort of like junior NOAA people.

By high school, I decided I wanted to be a teacher, but my parents didn't agree with that one,,and as it turns out, they were right.

Somewhere along the line I wanted to be a writer, but alas, unless very, very lucky, that doesn't pay the bills but I did write for a few gay and lesbian publications along the way.

I wound up in the industrial safety, health and environmental field, which feeds the teaching thing, teaching adults instead of kids (the kids would drive me insane) and it is the perfect job.

I'm not chained to a desk all day (but I can be there when I want to be), I get to move around the plant (as I choose to), I get to teach (my curriculum, design and schedule) and I get to problem-solve. The best of many worlds and I love what I do!

A Fashion Designer

I actually drew and colored designs...when I was like 10 or 12. And then wrote a book about it that I entered in a book fair contest.

I didn't win.

I love film.

I didn't want to be an actor I wanted to be the director. Now I have a degree in Film Studies and teach it, that is as close as I got. I get to teach others how to love film as much as I do.
