What did you want to be when you grew up? - Page 10

Amante · 04-10-2013, 02:54 PM

For years when I was very young I wanted to be an archaeologist (it still fascinates me). Then I wanted to be a musician (flautist) until I realized that you have to actually do things like practice a lot.

imperfect_cupcake · 04-10-2013, 05:01 PM

when I was a girl, about 10, I saw the movie "Bliss" and when I saw Honey Barbara, that's who I wanted to be when I grew up.
I also wanted to be a photojournalist war correspondant (13)
or a jet pilot.

easygoingfemme · 04-10-2013, 05:10 PM

I wanted to be Cyndi Lauper. Or be Cyndi Lauper's wife.

ValentineTomboy · 04-10-2013, 05:16 PM

I wanted to be an Astronaut. I still do

I would give anything to go up in space and if I ever won the lottery that would be the first thing I would do...

Cailin · 04-10-2013, 06:24 PM

Yes, I'm being very serious: A porn star/ Nude model

SleepyButch · 04-10-2013, 06:34 PM

A veterinarian... even started schooling but life changed and I went into nursing instead... a whole other breed of animals!

Jean_TX · 04-10-2013, 08:30 PM

I wanted to be an astronomer - the vastness of space fascinated me. I abandoned that goal when I found out that it generally requires a couple PhD's, that you rarely get to look through powerful telescopes in practice, and that the pay wasn't stellar. (I couldn't help myself, I had to slip that pun in...)

DaddiBear · 04-10-2013, 08:49 PM

I never could make up my mind...guess I still can't, although I have been working with horses off and on for 15 years now and I'm happy with what I do.

KCBUTCH · 04-10-2013, 11:14 PM

Well at age 5 I picked up a piece of metal off the curb and said "someday I want to learn how to make things out of metal" I was a architectural Sheet Metal worker/foreman for 12 yrs.

at Age 8 I read the St. Francis Prayer and said " that's who I want to be when I grow up"...

at age 15 I said I wanted to be a motivational speaker after hearing Leo Buscaglia speak so I could help people on a huge scale

Now I am an adult student finishing my undergrad studies and I begin my Masters program in Marriage and Family Therapy in the Fall... so I am in process to making age 8 and 15 come to life, since age 5 dreams worked my joints out of commission

nhplowboi · 04-11-2013, 12:13 AM

A cowboy , when I was youngest....which is now satisfied by the horses that eat us out of house and home. Later on..... a secret agent which was satisfied by my law enforcement career. Now I am the successful owner, thank you lord, of a small country/convenience store which may or may not have been influenced by my mom (now deceased) in her desire to run a little country store.

Heavenleahangel · 04-11-2013, 06:22 AM

After watching the tv show "Emergency" with Gage, Roy, Chet, and nurse Dixie, I wanted to be a nurse and wear the cute little nurses outfit with the hat. On the other end of the spectrum, "BJ and the Bear" made me want to drive trucks which I did for several years! I started nursing school but life got in the way. Medicine is still a great love of mine.

DaddyNik12 · 04-11-2013, 08:00 AM

when I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I grew up and got involved with the wrong thing in life ... and now I wished I never grew up lolol

VeganDebbie · 04-11-2013, 08:05 AM

Ince I've been in the hospital so much, I wanted to be a nurse. I still help whenever I can, just can't do the medical part.

starryeyes · 04-11-2013, 09:12 AM

I wanted to be a veterinarian. My grandma told me it was too hard for me and I should shoot for something easier... I'll never forget that! :/

Little Fish · 04-11-2013, 09:52 AM

The other night I was telling the story about the first meeting with my kindergarten teacher, Miss Edwards--circa September 1969. My mother took me to the Meet-and-Greet the day before so all the children could see the classroom, meet Miss Edwards, play with toys--you get the idea...

At one point, Mom calls me over and Miss Edwards engages me in conversation; she asks me what I want to be when I grow up...(I look up at her with my big blue eyes and blond hair) ---and very clearly state "I'm going to be a Black gospel singer."

It was as if time had stopped entirely.
I remember the stunned look on Miss Edwards face and the horrific one on my mother.

Also, I wasn't even raised as a Christian !!

Ascot · 04-11-2013, 10:29 AM

I was determined to be the first lady Sheriff. I was going to ride the range with my metal star badge pinned proudly to my chest. I started riding when I was 5, I had a Jane West action doll...it wasn't a stretch. I was enamored of the old westerns, charmed by the idea of having dusty boots and eating chili off a metal plate prepared by some grizzled guy named Cookie.

DJ Bear · 04-11-2013, 10:43 AM

When I was 5 or 6 I saw the movie Arabian Nights and just knew I wanted to be a warrior surrounded by a harem, just love those women.

Apocalipstic · 05-30-2013, 10:51 AM

I love the thought of little us dreaming of the future.

Novelafemme · 05-30-2013, 12:48 PM

When I was really little I wanted to raise cows (farmer?) and then when I was around 7-8 I wanted to be a truck driver (specifically a garbage truck driver

Then as a teen I thought nursing was for me, but that morphed into being a flight attendant so I could travel.

Bèsame* · 05-30-2013, 01:00 PM

A mom.

Instead, I found my imagination and turned it into creativity. Studied to be an interior designer, which lead to design, display, marketing.....to da..retail!
