Me too. :hehe: Then I decided I wanted to be a writer.. then a psychologist and now a psychiatrist. All career choices I'd consider and enjoy though. Mhm.

A physicist! :D (I was an odd child).

After much deliberation I'm going into electronics, so not much of a change there!

When I was really young, I remember wanting to be a firefighter, police officer, singer, actor, and paleontologist. As I got a bit older, I wanted to be a writer or a vet. Now, I still can't decide if I want to be a biotechnician, some sort of linguist, or a psychiatrist.

I am torn between two things.
I either want to be a journalist,
or I want to be a counselor.

I'm not sure that as a little kid I ever wanted to be a certain profession. I never really poured my heart into much of anything until I was about in middle school, at which point I either wanted to be a vet or play music.
Since then, I've moved on from the vet thing XD But I still want to be a musician. lol I'm not sure I'll grow out of that one.
Is it unlikely to want to be a professional zombie hunter?

I seriously wanted to be a rock star. I was 16 when I finally realized I needed to consider something else.

Hah, I've yet to grow out of that one :hehe: But at least now I'm thinking of backup plans that shouldn't be... too awful. Studio artist, guitar store, writer... So not great options, but options none the less XD

I wanted to be an architect, but I didn't realize how much work was involved and how underappreciated the profession was.

Photography and writing as a side.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
Lets see, When I was really little I wanted to be a singer or actress. Then I realized I sucked, so I gave up on that xD

Then i decided that i wanted to own a horse farm, so i could raise and train horses. And also help rescued and abused horses. It was a really big dream of mine to get a farm like that, and really do that. But then life completely changed and i started to do less and less with horses.

Then I decided i wanted to teach Wilderness skills, like survival skills for out in the woods. Which is what i actually do as a job right now, that and i help my mom teach another class.

But then i realized what i really want to become, is a paid firefighter and that is what i am working towards right now. It is something i really love and i can really see myself doing.

I could never make my mind up

first i was dead set on being an astronaut then realised that it just wasn't going to happen so i decided to stick with the flying theme and become a helicopter pilot with the police.
then i just wanted to be a regular police officer then a mental health nurse then a regular nurse then an art therapist then a nursary nurse then i had no ambition whatsoever and now i want to be a police woman :D

Wanted to be an Air Force pilot, but I have sub-par vision and Sept. 11th really got to me.

I'm working on a biology degree and hope my hard work pays off and I get into/through medical school. I want to be an oncologist.

If it doesn't work out I'll join the military or CIA.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
It varied while I was growing up. At first I had my heart set on being a veterinarian but then I did some work experience and decided no. I thought about becoming a doctor but knew I didn't have the grades to do that.

I thought about becoming a teacher and actually went and spent four years of University for that, but decided no way in hell.

Now I am on my way to becoming an EMT, I just hope I don't back out of this as well.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
I wanted to do a lot of things.
artist,singer,writer,a shrink even, i wanted to be a fashion designer too,which i'm getting close to.
lately i wanted to be a travel agent,the dream lasted for 8 beautiful months till my friends spoiled it. Today, i am very confused about it...
i wish this was 17th century when Picasso did. Cause i wanted to make but he got to it 1st. :p and truly,every plain, but unique, art he made was a masterpiece,maybe not while he lived but he is sure remembered. :D
I have a weird mind,don't I?

Any way,that is just a dream.

I at one point wanted to be an undertaker. I then wanted to go into missions in Africa for a time. For a while I wanted to serve either as a policewoman, in the army or as a CO.
Now I either want to own my own business or go into missions

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
I wanted to be a Writer when I grew up. But things changed and I learned a new language. I sucked at writing in English. Not the spelling but the grammar. Then I found out my brother wrote better than me. So then I wanted to be either an actor for the fame and cool things you get to do or a soccer player. Couldn't be an actor because well, I never tried. I live in a rural place in middle of nowhere. And the soccer thing takes a lot of dedication (I wanted to be a Goalkeeper)... so now I'm just a web developer.

I've always wanted to be a veternarian because I love working with animals :) If that doesn't work out, I'll be a kindergarten or first grade teacher.

I wanted to be an author. Not anymore though. I don't have any aspirations :/

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
When I was five I wanted to be a princess. That dream was short lived when I realized that they weren't like Cinderella at all. XD
For the ages of six to eight, I wanted to be a nurse. When I was almost nine I realized that I hate blood(wonders falling and scraping your knee does for you XD ).
From the time I was nine, until the time that I was almost ten, I wanted to be a teacher.
At ten I wanted to be a rock star. XD I can't remember why(though only three years) I would ever want that.
When I was eleven I wanted to be a singer and an actress. I love both, but rather not be famous. XD
When I was twelve I wanted to be an author, and now I'm thirteen and I still do. Writing is my entire life. But, when I can, I would like to go to school to become an elementary school music teacher. :)

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
uhmm... from a young age I wanted to become a lawyer :)
then it was a doctor...
then a wedding planner...
then a psychiatrist...
then a doctor again...
there's a few careers that I am still kind of mulling over..
I would love to be an author.. but I just don't think I have enough talent and patience for it.
Also being a member of parliament has always been a sort of dream of mine :)

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
Well. I could have been a lawyer (and potentially I still could, but no). I want to be a childs nurse or a midwife or a paramedic or to specialise in teaching children with disabilities. :D
