When I was 5, I wanted to be a doctor. When I was 11, I wish I were an astronaut. LOL! But I was serious about it! That wish even stayed until I reached 16. I told people about it and they would laugh. At 17, I wanted to be a veterinarian so I went to VetMed school. But at 22, I finished a degree in Accounting. =)

when i was young, i wanted to be a lawyer. after watching some television shows on court cases. but when i grew older, i find the being a lawyer is so uninteresting. so then i had a chance to study art, i wanted to be a museum curator, where i can always be with what i loved. but my parents did not believe in the path of doing art for a living or working for the museum is a 'real' job. so i had no choice but to enroll in a biotechnology diploma course. when i am pursuing my degree, i will make sure i go overseas and don't let my parents influence me again. three years from now, hopefully i can go back to do art.

when i was 5,i want to become a pharmacist.not because i understand the work of being a pharmacist but because i want to make "supot" or small paper bags for medicines.i enjoyed it very much watching those pharmacy-in-charge cutting the papers and gluing it so they can used it as medicine containers.when i was in my 4th year high school, i told myself that if i can't be a pharmacist,i want to be a dentist.it's my second option.and now,i am trying to review for foreign pharmacy graduate equivalency exam.it feels so good to finally become what you really wanted.and i am sooo proud to be a pharmacist...

When I was 6 I wanted to be a nurse, when I was 12 I wanted to be and RCMP officer. At 17 I wanted to be an architect and even took it in high school and college qand got my autoCAD diploma, but found is dull and eventually, got my diploma in computer programming and Networking. Sadly I was not able to use either for I got sick and now and unable to handle stress from any type of job.

When I was little I wanted to be an astronaut only because I wanted to eat floating M&M's while in space. I thought that would be the coolest thing ever. Now, though, I'm in college to become an Art Teacher. Let's just say that's not looking too good anymore either. lol

When I grow up, I want to be a fighter pilot. Im thinking about the airforce or navy. I heard its pretty tough to become one. i think its cool that you wanted to be an astronaut. i have a friend who wants to be one. its hard to become an astronaut though, you have to go through alot of training

lol When I was about 10 years old I wanted to be a veterinarian but then I watched Animal Planet and watched the actual vets work with animals and then got depressed when they could not save the animals sometimes. Then about 17 years old, I got serious about computers so I went started college for it and got my Bachelor of Arts in Computers and wanted to do something web development. But then I saw the market for that sort of thing and said maybe I will just play with html for a hobby lol. Now here I am 25 years old and still don't know what I am going to do with my life. But congrats on finishing the accounting degree. I had to take the courses as part of the degree program and it was no walk in the park for me.

Well, in kindergarten I wanted to be a ballerina. I went to Ballet classes at a local studio place with a class of other small children but after 2nd grade I stopped. I'm not sure what I wanted to be at the time after that, It hin kit was an artist or a veterinarian until about 7th grade. Now I was to be a psychologist, but I also do art so I'm not sure what direction I'll go in. I think I'll go into psychology but still I want to do some art on the side.
