Is your current job what you wanted to do when you were a child?

I've met a teacher at school who had wanted to be a magician when she was a child, and that really just brought me thinking: Why do people choose the jobs they choose? So tell me, mylotters :3 What prompted you to choose your current job, and why? Was it because it was the most convenient job you had? Was it because of the money? (; And Lastly, if you had another chance at life right now, what job would you had studied for when you were younger? Cheers (:

When I was growing up I always dreamed that I would work with animals in some kind of way. My mom was a nurse and loved the medical field and I always said that there was no way I could do anything in the medical field. To many unknown things for me I thought!! Well at twenty five off to the medical field I went and I really enjoy it!! It wasn't what I had dreamed of doing but it turned out to be a great job with a ton of job security!! The hours are not always the best but its nice knowing I will be able to find a job anytime in this tough economy.
