There hasn't been a single time in my life when I knew what I wanted to be. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.

Thinking back to what I wanted to be growing up was writer and painter
A filmmaker (then I realized that was generic)
An actress
Then a television or radio personality
Then a painter
Then a music producer and songwriter
Then a comedian
Then screenwriter
Then a director
Then an editor
Then graphic artist
Then an actress again
Then a producer
Then a podcaster
Then a producer again
The producer/editor "preditor"
I mean I've had to widdle down some of those or just lost interest but most of those things I still want to do or am currently doing. It's strange because I literally cannot turn off my brain; like I have to write ideas down before bed. It's weird that I've gone a prolonged time without writing longer stuff but I'm also afraid because I end up not getting sleep because of it.
I wanted to get paid to play video games somehow.
My parents, while they didn't try to stop me from gaming, discouraged me relying on that for a living.
Now they know about Let's Players and people making money off of YouTube and the like, now they won't shut up about me magically making some content that will somehow rake in billions of dollars.
Now I'm the one that has to explain to them how it isn't that simple. Still, I like to mess with them and say things like, "IF ONLY YOU ENCOURAGED ME TO PLAY GAMES! I COULD HAVE BEEN ON GAME GRUMPS! I COULD HAVE BEEN JUSTIN TRON!!"
I nearly dug my way to China. Was going to prove their trout was "upside down". Made it about 3', figured I was half way. Gave up the effort, priorities. Had a gf to care for now, we were going to live inside a refrigerator box in the jungle. I was decent with my bow, we'd "live off the land". Had to "man up". The rationale of a 5 year old boy.

I remember wanting to be Kit from Knight Rider.
To this day, I still dream of being ridden by David Hasselhoff.
I was not alone on wanting to be a cryptozoologist?!
I also wanted to be a zoologist and work for WWF saving endangered animals from poaching. I also considered marine biologist, vet, etc...
When I was little I wanted to be in the army.
When I was very, very little, I wanted to be a penguin and/or a fairy. Now I'm a gay man who likes suits, so I basically got what I wanted.
used to want to be in the army.
before i realized i'm a total wimp and changed to what i like doing best, Games.
uh... hard to say how its going, probably bad. i get embarresed when people ask what i want to do. but thats a thing to not talk about now
I still don't know.
Boldly go.
No ones been slapped yet
Veterinarian, appraiser, chef, interior designer
I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then things happen. Now I'm a mathematician. Funny how that happens.
When I was very young, I was fascinated by birds, so I wanted to become an ornithologist.
When I was a teenager, I was completely captivated by Gattaca, so I wanted to become a biochemical scientist. Well, that part came true, and I finished my doctorate last year. But I'm not sure it's still really what I want to do, so I'm considering doing medicine to become a doctor.
Continuously throughout my life I've wanted to write, but I've always lacked the discipline. I hope I will find it within myself to change that!
PS, some hilarious choices in this thread.
