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.

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.

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 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.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
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 :bleh: 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 :nosweat:

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.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
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:

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. :dem:

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

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
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

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
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.

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
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.)

.:PrincessZelda:. May 19th 2012 05:43 PM

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
A scientist

Well, I will be graduating this coming Tuesday night. I am both nervous and excited. I feel like smiling but I also feel like crying. I plan to attend a local college for two years and then transfer to a bigger one for a two year program in ultrasound tech :) If I do not transfer, I will stay at the small, local college to become a nurse and specialize in pediatrics :)

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
I wanted to be a train conductor. I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to be a lion:)
Right now, dream #1 is to become a singer, but because the chances of that happening are very slim, I want to be a paediatric nurse.

For the longest time I wanted to be a doctor and then in high school I decided to become a teacher...Now, I have no clue and honestly, I'm okay with that for now :bleh:

Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up?
 
Oh man, when I was in kindergarten I really wanted to be a paleontologist! I had a rather unhealthy obsession with dinosaurs. Besides, I was a kid; digging around in the dirt and getting paid? Sweet! :D

Now I'm thinking of either becoming an editor or going into the phsychology field. (Not sure what I'd do with my degree yet)
