What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an athlete however I concentrated more on my studies. I am now an engineering graduate and currently working in the Information Tech field. Although I like my job today, sometimes I still think that or wish that I can become an athlete but knowing the hardships of athletes in training and discipline I don't think I can take that kind of hardship at all so sometimes I am content with my job.

When i was 5 years old, i interested to be a businessman, because i can sell many things successfully! But its changed when i was 6years old. I was joining the paint competition for children... i got the 1st winner! I really want to be an artist like picasso... but i did change. When i reached high school, I really wanted to become a scientist in laboratory after reading some books about science and discoveries in health science... i really want to become a medical lab scientist. I am taking now the program of medical lab science, i'm pursuing to become one... but if possible also, i wanna proceed to medicine, not sure. but i really interested to medicine... heheh

I had wanted to be a secret agent. But now I want to be someone who serves humanity... someone who would be remembered as one who serves humanity.

I wanted to be an OB nurse. I love babies. Then I graduated met the man of my dreams...I got pregnant. There went my dream...I went on to have 3 more children and loved every minute of it..Would not change a thing..

I always wanted to be a musician (performing for an audience that is) and am currently working toward that goal. ^_^

I wanted to be a vet. I ended up as a nurse and now, at 36, I am a sahm of 3. *shrug* Now what do I want to be when I grow up? No idea...lol.

I wanted to be an engineer. Initially I wanted to be a scientist. later it changed to become engineer. Now I am one. I work as SW engineer.

I wanted to be a teacher and did it for a couple of years. Also wanted to run my own business, which is what I'm still doing now. My friends and I all wanted to have 2 children and be successful. I'm the only one with two children, who are now grown.

For a long time I wanted to be a teacher. Then my best friend and I were going to move to florida and do some like marine biology or something like that. Then I decided I wanted to have my own daycare. I started working in a daycare as soon as I graduated. But after a few years of that I soon grew tired of other peoples kids lol. So now I'm a stay at home mom and loving it. I would like to do something from home. I love making gift baskets, but I don't know how much I can make from that in the small area I live.

I wanted to be a paralegal, specializing in the childrens department (child custody, abused children, etc.) I wanted to be able to help kids. Then realized my temperment wasn't right for it. For I don't think I would have been able to idly sit back and watch kids being abused, and only able to file paper work on it. I would have gotten close and personal with the abuser. So second thought the whole thing, and realized it wasn't for me.

I always wanted to be a Lancaster bomber pilot. "A what" I hear you say. The Lancaster was a British plane that flew missions during the last two or three years of WW2. However, I was born after the last Lancaster bomber flew with the RAF and it was the only reason that I would want to be a pilot .So I toyed with water engineering in developing countries and the British Army, then joined what was then part of a UK Government Department. I was good at my job I think, got lots of promotions, became a Director until last year when I got very sick and left. I now am having a great year off before I do something again for the 9 years left before I can collect my pension. I haven't done what I wanted to do. But I have no complaints.

I always wanted to be a nurse. One of my first jobs was in a nursing home as a T2, until I got my license then I was a CNA. After working around the nurses and seeing what all they had to do, I knew I couldn't do it. I can't stand needles as is and don't think I could do that to anyone else. Plus all the charting they have to do. I went as far as getting my Med-Aide license and even then at certain places you have to stick a person's finger, which I can handle better than doing IV's and drawing blood. I am also a mother and love being a mom. I have 5 beautiful children that I would love to stay home with all day if it was possible. Temporarily I am home with them but it's just until we get moved into a new house. Then I will be returning to the work force. (Not thrilled about that)

All through my very young years I wanted to be a vet. I never got a chance to do anything tho. And then after high school I got into forensics. Im still really into forensics and hope that someday in the near future I can look into doing that.

haha this is so sad but when i was younger i wanted to be a lawyer ever since i first seen the jim carey film liar liar lol i kinda flunked skewl abit tho and ive just recently decided to go back to school and get a degree in law.

Growing up, I wanted to be a mother, a nurse, and a couselor. The only thing that I have not yet experienced is the one I want the most. To be a mother. If I could just be a mother, nothing else would really matter.

when i grow up.i want to become an engineer.Actually i thought of becoming a scientist.but it requires a lot of thought to be a scientist.

when i was a child,i wanted to be a sailor,just like my father,who had travelled around the world.when i was child,i always lay on the map,my little fingers just pointing the place that my father would had been to.and i was always so exciting about that. however,when i was grew up,my father told me to study hard,be a doctor or a lawyer,be anyone just not like him.he told me that sailor is a very very dangerous occupation.i didn't accept his idea and he scolded me,even beat me in order to make my mind into the school study.so when i chose the college,under my father's pressure,i didn't go to the sailor college. now, i didn't feel sorry cause my father do anything,he do it for me.maybe i didn't know anything about the dangers(he had told me some)how hard it would be. now i understand that maybe i just see the good sides of travelling around the world,just focus how happiness it would be.and forgotten how dangerous and difficult it would be.and i just thanks to my father. he once said:"you want to travel around the world,right?you don't need to worry about that when you master special skills and learn knowledge,then you will soon earn a lot of money ,and then u can travel around the world then. i believe his words,that's why i go to college and try to absorb the knowledge,just like the sponge.
