What You Wanted to Be

I wanted to be a truck driver. Back then, the CB radio was the bomb! I ended up a nurse after entering college to be a teacher, lol. Not sure how that happened.

I wanted to be an airline stewardess or foreign correspondent. I also thought about going in the Peace Corps. I still think about teaching English overseas in CHina...however, when you have pets and ties...to the area and own a home it is hard to consider. Right now...I don't even have enough money for a passport...soo...hmmm Honestly if I didn't have my cat, I would consider it.much more seriously..but he is very important to me. just so much to think about with the house etc.

When I was younger, I wanted to be many things. But when I decided I wanted to be an artist, my parents and all the adults around me said NO, I shouldn't be one. Artists don't make money and you have to be crazy to be a real artist, is what they would say. So I dumped the idea and came up with many other things to become throughout the years. Meanwhile I excelled in any creative/art project in school. In my junior year of high school, I met a friend in yearbook class who convinced me to get into a painting class. There I learned I to fine tune some skills I already had AND I learned that a career in art was possible. I got accepted into college as a journalism major, but I quickly switched to becoming an art major - much to my parents dismay. I ended up doing graphic design and made a career out of it til we started a family. Art was always with me - art is still with me - and gosh darnit I'm gonna keep on doing it!

I wanted to be a riding instructress - went ahead and got qualified, then decided I didn't like it.

I wanted to be a nurse or a teacher, in a way, I am both. I am definitely happy and that is most important you are right.

I wanted to be a nurse. I did get a certificate as a Nurse's Aid, but then life took me in a different direction.

I went back and forth.. I don't think I ever really figured out what I wanted to do. I still don't really know. I'm certain I never thought that I'd love to be a bank teller..

When I was younger I wanted to be a lawyer. Although I remember coming up with crazy ideas like being an astronaut or a Nobel Peace Prize winner! I did end up being crazy so I guess I got that part down pat.

I think I always wanted to be a writer and a mom and I am both but I have worked any jobs none of which were ever on my early plan!! lol

I always remember wanting to be a wife and a mother. I am lucky that I met the right man to marry and have children with. And I like to serve people, which is a strange quality, but a friend of mine has that too, and I can see it in her. I am always told that I'm a great hostess when we entertain, and I see the look of content on my family and friend's faces when I do serve them the best that I can. Maybe that is why I enjoy working as a customer service rep so much.

i had a variety of dreams... at one point i wanted to be a teacher, i was young at the time. here i am teaching my own kids. i also wanted to be a writer. i guess i am of sorts... mostly i wanted to be a psychiatrist for a long time in high school... didn't go that route at all. then i wanted to be an accountant. i did work in finance for a time and for an accounting department for a time... but my career was as a Senior Buyer... which isn't something kids say they want to be when they grow up... ha ha. i still want to be a rock star....

I thought when I was six that if I tell everyone I wanted to be a nurse then I'd be that in a few years time. Fast forward to the future, I am a registered nurse but I decided not to practice anymore since I realized I wasn't really cut out for it.. It was a realization for me when i finally got what I wanted. Now, I'm older I realized I wanted to be a Vet but I don't want to go back to school anymore.

When I was kid. I used to play the nurse or the doctor. I always wanted to be a doctor or even a nurse. But too bad. Grandmother wanted me to be a police woman. Too bad because I am not.

When I was young nobody really asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I was always in my own little world of thoughts. I pretty much learned on my own how to survive in the world where no guidance was available. Though I was quite clever I suppose and quite an observer.

I always said I wanted to be a teacher, but of course did nothing about it. I did homeschool my children for 13 years so in a way I did achieve it, just without the years of college and for no monetary pay.

I have always wanted to be a teacher but I ended up taking a course on Economics but somehow my passion for teaching was realized because now I am a volunteer teacher in a Sunday school and I find this job very noble.

It was fashionable in my childhood for all little girls to want to be air hostesses or film stars. If we got serious the choice was usually teaching or nursing.

When i was young , whenever people ask me what I want to become when I grow up I would answer " newscaster" . However, I would always pretend as "teacher" in front of the younger kids in the neighborhood. I have boxes of chalk at home. I cannot forget the day when my mom scolded me and asked me to remove the writings on our wall because I could not find my blackboard.

When I was young, I really wanted to be a lawyer. But my parents force me to study nursing.well I just obey them.i wanted them to be happy
