When we were kid, each one of us had sometime opinion about what we would be when we get older. I used to say that I would be a teacher..my brother always said that he wanted to be a driver..however our lifes went to differents directions and now I am computer programmer and he works with motorcycles.. And about you? are doing today what you used to say you would be when you get old? let's share! thanks

The main thing I wanted was to be a mom, I think. I am a mom and grandmother. Over the years I have done many jobs, including some I said I would never do. I am not sure what I am really suited for, so for right now, I am not employed. I am still a mom and grandma. I would have liked to be a dancer, I believe.

When i was a kid,i always dreamed of becoming a doctor someday. I never achieved that dream,but i never regretted either. As we grows,a lot of changes do occur as we realized about our dreams. i choose to follow my passion which is all about arts,and i am happy with it. Have a great Monday

No I'm not, I've always wanted to be a nurse then since I was very much into art I wanted to be an interior decorator and a fashion designer...I'm now a teacher, (my parents made me study education since they thought my dream was not practical) but I guess I kinda use my creativity in teaching so I feel content and happy...I still have plans to design clothes and decorate though, but I guess I'll be just doing that for myself and my future children and I'll be decorating my own house

Yes, ever since I was a kid, I craved to become a civil servant. But what went wrong I don't know I have become a small clerk. Dreams and desires become fruitful to the people those work hard towards the goal which is already set by them is a fact.

No. When I was a child, I wanted to work in the zoo because I loved animals and it would be a nice job for me to look after the animals as a work. Or I hoped to be a sales in a toy department in the stores, so I could play any toys. But when I grow up, these two dreams go far away and now I am working in a trading company. I love China

...Hi kwylima, The one thing I remember that I wanted to do as a child was to attend college. I did that. I can't remember wanting a particular career as a child. After I was older I wanted to be a journalist. I did not get there but I write a lot on the internet, which satisfies my desire to write. I have also finished a children's book which I want to get published. As a career I was a federal bank examiner and also a real estate agent. It has been interesting. Cheers.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor, nurse or some sort in the medical field. Growing up, now I'm not, I'm heading toward the business field and I'm not even sure if I want to do that yet.

Apparently I am not the man i wanted to be, at first i want to be a scientist as a child, then my dream changes to a videogame programmer but I am very bad at Mathematical school subjects and its an essential... Then part of me also wanted fame and fortune,, But I was working in a boring cold office cubicle, My dream is to travel around the world and have a recording deal, I actually won some singing contest before but i already gave up on my dream in music because you have to sell your soul to the devil in able to succeed in the music industry...

When I was young, all I wished for is to achieve all my goals and ambitions in life. I just graduated from college and I am on my way of attaining those dreams if ever I pass the upcoming board exam. The road to success is never easy and you have to undergo a lot of tests. But I know that with God's grace and with perseverance, hard work and determination, I will be able to reach the top.
