When I grow up

[Night Fury]

What did you want to be when you grew up when you were a kiddo?

I wanted to be the Queen.

Legitimately.

But look at me now bitches!




Also the first person who says Blitzball is getting a smack.

[Freya]

I wanted to be a fairy for a while. A fairy who plays with animals.

Now I have lots of animals! But I super need more glitter in my life to get on that fairy thing.

[Fynn]

Veterinarian! But lol, you had to be good at biology

[Psychotic]

As a little kid a Police Officer and then later on a lawyer because I viewed it as "get paid lots of money to argue a lot". Then I did Law at A-Level and while I did really well in it, I learned how difficult it is to actually become one in the UK with a lot of competition for a very few places. It would've been interesting if I'd stuck at it but then I'm really happy with my life and job now so I don't really regret it.

This thread is gold.

[Zeldy]

Two fold: a video games tester or a rollarcoaster tester. I remember writing it in my year 3 profile exercise.

Then at Uni I suppose I aspired to venture to lecture sociology, but ended up in IT sales!

[Iceglow]

I always wanted to be a fighter pilot.

Not even kidding.

I kinda saw fighter pilot as a stepping stone to possibly becomming an astronaut (I wasn't wrong either). I dreamed of punching through cloud cover in a single person fighter jet at supersonic speeds for years.

I switched between Evil Queen, dog breeder, and Marine Biologist. In my teens, I wanted to be a psychologist, but as I got older I realized it was more to try and fix myself than to fix others.
Never once did I think I'd be a hotel accountant.

[Fox]

Someone who eats sweets everyday on the way to work and goes to bed late every night.

In terms of an occupation, I went through three phases:
- Fighter Pilot (but I was too scared to go on roller coasters at the time. This dream quickly died).
- Video game composer (I could make some nice music but lacked the technical ability to be a professional)
- Video game designer.

I actually do that last one! So I'm calling that a win.

[Midgar Mist]

Im a child of 32 and i still dont know what i wanna be.....

A writer? (scoffs)

[Colonel Angus]

When I was a wee lad, I wanted to be a police officer.
Later I wanted to make video games, but never knew what to do in school to do that.
Then I wanted to write about video games.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I wanted to be a falconer. I read My Side of the Mountain in first grade and decided that it was meant to be that I had my own bird of prey.

Now I work on helicopters for the Marines. So, I kinda made it?

I wanted to be a fighter pilot too. I went as far as taking fly lessons but then hockey took over. Still got my licence years later and flew a little 4 seater Cessna last year.

[Pheesh]

Musician, and I still want that.

As far as a wacky answer goes, for the longest time I wanted to be a marine biologist, oddly enough.

[Hollycat]

I wanted to be a cyborg. Or a princess.
