What was the one thing you wanted to grow up to be as a kid? Now imagine that, hey, you actually are what you wished for, whether you actually still want it or not.
I personally wanted to become a game show host, having grown up on High Roller and The Price is Right, and I still think I'd make a pretty good host with my kind of personality.
How do you think you'd do in whatever job you wanted?
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be an elementary school teacher or a model. I'm neither, but I think that I would have been an okay teacher. :cat:
I wanted to ride an A-Bomb, and take a photo...and i wanted to be a penguin...which I still intend to be, but the cynics are really staring to bring me down.
I'm halfway there - I have a camera, and a cool room.
~~~FreaQ
As a kid, my dream was to be a ballerina. Pink tutu and everything :p
I took lessons for years, performed in shows, danced in competitions, but it stopped being my "dream" a long time ago. I love dancing and performing but I never had the kind of dedication one would need to be a professional ballet dancer. It was always something I enjoyed doing on the side, never something I could devote my life to.
When I was a kid I had this crazy dream about becoming an animator for Disney! :D All my life I've had good skills in the drawing department and everybody (My friends) said that I should be an animator for Disney. One of them even went so far as calling me "Disney-tegner" (Disney drawer). Well, obviously my childhood dream hasn't come true...yet ;)
I wanted to be an artist :spin:
And I'm sorta going on that track, trying to be a photographer. Art photographer!
So far I'm thinking rock star, gigalo, or professional bum. Possibly a subtle blend of all three. I'll let you know how it goes.
I wanted to be a wizard. Seriously.
I wanted to be Margaret Thatcher. I haven't reached my goal.. yet.
When I was younger I wanted to be a model, a fashion designer, a postman, a lorry driver, a bus driver, work with horses...that's about all I remember. xD
I wouldn't have done too well at most because I wouldn't fit model criteria, don't know or care about fashion, can barely maneuvre (sp >_<) my own car, let alone a lorry, wouldn't know my directions to drive a bus, and really don't want to work with smelly horses. The postman thing still might be fun though, if this web design thing doesn't work out ^_^
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a super-hero, but now I love music and so I'm going to go and study audio engineering. Oh the times have changed... =(
*flies off into the sky*
I wanted to be a Games Designer when I was like 11, glad I got bored of that or I might be taking a computer course at college right now.. :eek:
When i was little i wanted to be an astronaut..i found it so fascinating..
Game Designer. Still do, really.
I wanted to be an architecht. I certainly wouldn't mind it as a job, but biological and health sciences have long ago taken over as my main interest.
I dunno, a policeman, firefighter? I wouldn't mind being those things now except 1) I don't think I can make the physical requirements (especially that of firefighter, and 2) I don't see the glamour any more.
I wanted to be a dinosaur.
...but you ended up being a Russian Mountain Cat instead. :) :cat:
I wanted to be a bad guy. No joke.
I dunno what I wanted to be.
I wanted to be a school teacher too...but when I was 9 or 10 I became a baby-sitter...then I realized I couldn't deal with young kids everyday without becoming psychotic and tearing my hair out.Quote:

But after I scoped the informations together,
I finally released that I don't have what it takes to become one - :( -
And now I'm seventeen sittin' home all day doin' nuthin.
Either:

Or:

I still can't pick a career path out of the two of them. And the great thing is, I'm not actually joking about these two :)
I wanted to be a teacher for a really long period of time. During that time, I also wanted to be a fighter pilot... which has been my dream for years and years now. After failing the air force's final tests, that dream will also remain just that - a dream.
I'll probably end up doing something in the military, or really becoming a teacher... though the payment sucks.
I wanted to be a firefighter for a while, because of my dad, but now I think I would hate that job. I hate that my dad has that job even. He's hardly home.
I also wanted to be a teacher. I'd be an okay teacher, I think.
I have wanted to write for OPSM2 for as long as i can remember. But i will be going to uni to get a journalist or writers degree, that's one of the things that i am sure of.
>>> I wanted to be a scientist, it was my dream as a child..
When I was 9 I always wanted to be an Assassin. I'm joining the Marines to... So yeah....
I wanted to be a marine biologist for the longest time. Really though, I just wanted to jump off an orca's nose every day at 11:00, 3:00, and 4:30.
I also wanted to teach elementary school. Gimmie probably... two more years to fully catch up to that one. Being qualified to teach in California is a pain.
Until I hit high school, I wanted to be either an artist or a paleontologist.
It's kinda working out, because I still sort of draw, and I dig Stalin! :D
haha ALL 14 year old girls want to be marine biologists!Quote:

I wanted to race motorbikes or work with computers. I'm working with computers, but it's not quite as exciting as I intended on it being. Still, I wanted to make a game and that's still a possibility, although it'll be years in the making.
As a kid there was only one job I ever wanted to do I wanted to be a fighter pilot (ok I got exposed to top gun at a young age and was intoxicated with it) now I still want to be a fighter pilot however I need to improve my physics a little to do it
I wanted to be a scientist, a writer, a woodcutter, an artist, a model, an actress, a psychologist and a millionaire
When I grow up I wanna be a mop!
I have always wanted to be the "Emperor of the World". and let me tell you it will happen someday. but first i gotta get my own country, Estopia...it'll be wonderful, for me at least.
It's true. xDQuote:

I wouldn't have been that great of an astronaut, as I'd mostly just kick it in the space station floating around and doing crazy trout instead of work.
when I was a kid I wanted to be an english teacher... I've always wanted to be that and I now I am so close to full my dream.... :)
as a kid i wanted to draw for a career.....
...still draw...but not for a career.....figured the competition wold be way too huge so i draw on occasion when inspiration bites me in the ass!
these days im leaning into psychology
I wanted to write as a career, i still do and I might be getting somewhere on that one...
I always wanted to be a teacher and that's what i'm trying achieve. But I guess the secret desire was to be a rock star. In a band called "The Metal Petals" and singing "The everlastintg Gaze" live.
I can't sing that well
I always wanted to be a baseball player. Now I'm two weeks from my 20th birthday and in no shape to playing the game at any level, let alone pro, so I guess that dream has died.
I wanted to be a vet xD what a classic thought :D Vets rocked, but then I wanted to be a designer but got bored by the shallowness ¬_¬ lol now me ish concentrating on being a photo-journalist or a writer or something ^-^ it rocks :D
Really I wanted to be a rock and roll star. But that isn't gonna happen because I can'y play any instruments, and I can't sing. ... and I'm ugly
When I was younger...it was:horse trainre, dress designer (I know, I know), veterinarian(sp?), actor/director, psychologist.
And now. Well, I still want to do the whole acting/directing thing. But I also love to write---I'm getting more and more into it as I get older. I love the feeling writing gives you.
All I know is that I want to do something creative. There's even a part of me that wants to make games. As long as it deals with the right side of the brain, I'm in. No way, in hell, will I ever use the math I've been doing after the second I graduate highschool. I want to get as far away from that as possible.
:D
chaos: Either that, or a voice actor when I was really young.Quote:
