What did you want to be/do when you grew up? - Page 7

fullofsecrets

I always said I wanted to be an author. Now I want to be an author, a musician, an actress, a model.......too bad none of those things will ever happen. I don't know why I'm in college studying sign language interpreting when that's not what I REALLY want.

At first I wanted to be a vet, then it changed when I was about 8, I decided I wanted to be an artist. Still pursuing that to this day!

When I was really little, I wanted to be an actress.
When reality set in at about 7, I decided I wanted to be a teacher. Yeah, I was a weird kid.
About the time I turned 10, I started bouncing around a lot, thinking of a lot of different things.
I'm going to college next year. Guess what I want to do for a living?
Teach. Funny how these things work.

Before 5th grade I wanted to be a police officer, even since 5th grade I wanted to join the military. For the longest time I wanted to join the Army, now I want to be in the Marine Corps.

For most of my childhood I wanted to be a doctor, but around age 12 I realized that I only wanted to be that because my parents always told me I did.

After a bit of self examination I realized I want to be a fantasy/horror author.

Chris.

I've always wanted to be a Firefighter and a police officer (which is possible). Eventually, I dropped my dreams of being a firefighter to pursue the Police Officer career.

From the time I was alittle kid - till now I've still wanted to be a Police officer and that has never changed not once.

I really wanted to be an architect, and i started out with that major in school, but i just wasnt up to it and switched to economics. I love my major now, but i still love architecture, so i guess thats cool lol

JollyRancher.

I always wanted fame and fortune. When i was younger, i wanted to be a model. I even took modeling classes. Then at the age of 7 i wanted to be a scientist, for some reason. Then at age 8, i wanted to be a mucisian. But now, not only do i want to sing, i want to publish my stories and poems. And i also want to work as a IT person.

ToGoOmniscient

I don't really know what I want to be.

I want to be a singer. Like no joke. I have such a passion for it, and I will never stop pursuing it.

A loooot of my friends tell me I should be a model, because I have the talent, the face, the body, etc. But I'm too short

lol

After taking intro to theatre, I want to pursue acting, but not for a while. I have to destroy my depression and try to improve my speech.

I also want to be a graphic designer, because I just love it.

I'll figure it out eventually

Here.with.you

When I was little I wanted to be a singer then I change it to a teacher then teacher or councilor but now I want to be a athletic trainer.

Don't feel bad. Many of my "friends" make fun of me for some of my dreams. They may be joking about it, but it still upsets me that I don't get any support.

When I was little I mainly wanted to be a veterinarian AND a pediatrician. (This is in addition to wanting to be a chef, a ballerina, a professional martial artist and an actress) Don't ask me how I was gonna juggle that much.

Right now I'm looking more into music and psychology. I'd like to live the rockstar life for a while and then settle down and be a psychologist, specializing in teens and children. C:

Raining Glitter · **Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? -** April 9th 2012, 03:33 AM

I want to become a school psychologist and mess up the system they have in the US for learning disabilities since I feel they teach more learned helplessness than actually help kids.

Plus I want to work with depressed teens on a side.

Unfortunate · **Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? -** April 9th 2012, 03:50 AM

When i was younger: Teacher,actress, or singer
Now: Book editor, or singer.. Maybe both.

When I was a kid I wanted to be an Olympic Gymnast. No shit, I read about Nadia Comaneci, and was like, I'm the next her.
Unfortunately I had a serious head-injury at 10 which put paid to that one.

I also wanted to be an artist, or a musician, or join the army.
I did music all through high-school and was offered early entrance to university for a BMus majoring in composition (who doesn't want to write film scores?), but turned it down because I was *also* offered early entry into a private art school, which I accepted. I later dropped out.
As for joining the army, I applied, with the intention of playing in the New Zealand Army Band, but was turned down because apparently I would not be mentally fit for combat. (I play saxophone mainly, and I'm great at it.)

Still living gymnastics though. I'm a gymnastics coach, I coach competitive MAG. I'm also a MAG judge.
I've got an incomplete B.A. in Psychology and English because at around about 20 years old I realised I need a realistic career. The psychology is because I'd like to be a neuropsychologist, the english is because I'm good at it, and a one year PGDipTchng is all I'd need for a sweet job to support my whilst I do my Masters. Also, you can travel with teaching.

Currently just being a professional procrastinator.
Although I'd also like to spend time being a bus driver, a long haul trucker, or a tattoo designer. It's clear from my avatar that I have no shortage of talent :P

I don't remember what I wanted to be when I was younger, but now, I wanna be an elf, as in I wanna be a toy engineer

Grapefruitlife · **Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? -** May 12th 2012, 08:12 AM

I wanted to be either a minister, a psychologist or a mad scientist when I was little.

These days I'm well on my way to becoming a mad historian. Yay.

George^^ · **Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? -** May 19th 2012, 03:42 AM

When I was younger, I either wanted to be a rock star (but knew that I had no talents in that feild) and morbidly, a forensic scientist (as a younger child I LOVED crime shows, I guess it stemmed as a way to be around my mom, because she loves them.)

Cats315 · **Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? -** May 19th 2012, 05:43 PM

A scientist
