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

I wanted to be a 'pet shop lady' = a vet
I then realised I wasn't good at science particularly, so that was out of the window.

I then wanted to be a journalist for YEARS, I loved media and creative writing at school and had dreams of going to London for university to study it.

Sixth Form put me off media and because the fees went sky high, I wanted more of a challenge. I then picked Criminology and Sociology and went to a different part of England to study it. I wanted to be in the Police and now I have no idea!
God knows where I will be in the end...

At 1st grade I wanted to be a scientist, part-time author, later on I got my true calling and wanted to go into the field of computers/technology. Everything about it just fascinates me how artificial intelligence and automated systems work.

I've always wanted to be a soldier in the military but was always told I wouldn't be able to join due to my vision impairment. Now - I still want to be in the military (I got corrected vision late 2011) at the point where I can join combat with my corrected vision, but I also have the feeling of not wanting to 'see' again which interferes with that. I have researched and have not been officially diagnosed yet, but have the symptoms of visual agnosia.

I have always wanted to be a fiction writer or perhaps an international tour guide. I want to inspire people with my writing, if I could.

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

When I was younger, I had too many ambitions to count. Some of these included being a pizza chef, and a dancer despite never taking one class in my life. The one career choice that has most stuck with me though has been a teacher, but as high school came to an end, so did any ambition toward any career which brings us to now. No longer am I the girl overwhelmed with career possibilities, but rather underwhelmed!

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

I used to be into computer stuff at an early age, maybe 7-10 (it runs in the family), but any job in computer programming will be gone in the next 15 years. Nowadays, I'm looking at being some sort of specialized medical surgeon/doctor. I've also recently taken up an interest in nuclear engineering and various fields of chemistry. I still have plenty of things on the table for me.

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

When I was little, I wanted to be everything possible, singer, nurse, actress, film director, model, fashion stylist, dog trainer, a vet, teacher, tv host, designer of all things, a composer or artist with all kinds of arts considered, a factory worker, assistant, secretary, computer hacker, spy, detective, philologist, animator, economist, baker, theologist, philosopher, illustrator, storyteller, psychologist, matchmaker etc etc. I had way too many. And it wasn't hard to dream of everything and live those dreams passionately as a child. For some reason as well, the older I got, my ambitions grew more irrational, about to reach the peak of all irrationality. Let's say I started thinking of jobs that don't exist on Earth. Yet.

The one job I also stuck to (for almost a year) was travelling agent, but that one got rejected by reality before I experimented with many other jobs in my head. During one point in my life, I didn't want to have a job but the dream of being a student for my entire life. Ironically after that, I wanted to own an organisation. Didn't stop there.

When I was 7, I wanted to be a veterinarian.
When I was 9, I wanted to be a writer.
When I was 12, I wanted to be a musician.
When I was 14, I wanted to be dead.
Now, I am 15 and I still want to write!
Writing makes me feel like life is going to be okay.

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

I think I have replied to this thread back when I first joined TeenHelp, but everything hs changed so I am going to put a new answer here.

When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I got into high school, I wanted to be musician or a chemist. When I got into college and declared my major as chemistry my freshman year, I really wanted to be a chemist. However, when I got to the spring semester of my sophomore year, I decided that chemistry was too difficult for me and changed my major to biology. Now when I graduate college, I am hoping to get a job where I am working with something that has something to do with the environment, conservation, and/or biotechnology. :)

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

I wanted to be an actress. But then I thought that when your character died, you died too so I didn't like the idea of being an actress anymore. The mind of an 8 year old. :p

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

I've always liked the idea of being a comedian/comedy writer. I started writing material at school and I read somewhere that if you tell people your goal you're more likely to achieve it so for about two years everyone who asked what I wanted to do after school was told 'comedian'. Unfortunately I haven't done anything to achieve it so whenever I talk to those people I hope they've forgotten about it :innocent:

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

I seriously wanted to be a vet, then changed it to someone who specialises in dogs (does that career even exist??).

I have also wanted to be: an author, movie star, train driver, interior designer, wolf researcher.

For the last decade I have wanted to be a teacher (primary school) and still hope to accomplish that. But I am also developing a keen interest in psychology...

Oh and when I was 5, I wanted to be a dog :D

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

For a few years I wanted to be a police officer. Then two days into my program I found out I didn't like it, and swapped into a General Arts and Science program, and now I'm starting to look for what I want to do.
