half the time i wanted to be a writer/foreign war correspondent (like christiane amanpour)

Epicpwn · 05-06-2010, 12:52 AM

... I wanted to be Superman because I thought Lois Lane was sexy.

JustLovelyJenn · 05-06-2010, 12:54 AM

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.

Apocalipstic · 05-06-2010, 09:34 AM

These are great!

We had high hopes....

It sincerely never crossed my mind that the world would still be here in 2010.

katzietootle · 05-06-2010, 10:24 AM

i vividly remembered that i want to be a clown and a part time astronaut so i can meet astroboy

cinderella · 05-06-2010, 10:32 AM

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).

Jett · 05-06-2010, 10:45 AM

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.

Rockinonahigh · 05-06-2010, 10:50 AM

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.

ravfem · 05-06-2010, 01:35 PM

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.

Andrew, Jr. · 05-06-2010, 01:57 PM

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.

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.

Rook · 05-06-2010, 04:57 PM

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"...

Heart · 05-06-2010, 05:08 PM

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.
