When you were a kid what did you want to be?

[Shauna]

I wanted to be a doctor. When that fell through because of not-good-enough grades, I decided maybe some kind of sciencey-Biology job so I did my degree around that.

I am currently a civil servant working for the tax office chasing down tax avoiders.

Dreams do come true!

[Lyndis Highwind]

I remember when I was really little, I wanted to be a coffee barista because I made coffee for my mom everyday, and I always had fun making it for her. Now I've been thinking about going to art classes and doing commissions.

[Wolf Kanno]

Not even lying, but in high school, I kind of wanted to be a vagrant and simply hitchhike my away back and forth across the country eking out a living. It seemed more interesting to me than most professional careers. I never really thought about the future much when I was growing up, I still don't for the most part, but I at least have more realistic goals now.

This doesn't surprise me in the least

You mean... you mean... you didn't aspire to be a canoe?

My world has been shattered.

[FFNut]

I know right. Is my whole life one big lie?

[Scruffington]

I originally wanted to be a doctor, then a DJ, then a lawyer.

I still kind of want to be a lawyer. The Ace Attorney series has me super interested in that field.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I wanted to be an astronomer from kindergarten up until sometime in middle school. I used to read any book I could about space, and I would incorporate it into school assignments whenever possible.

I specifically wanted to be the one to prove that black holes were somehow connected to other universes, which I was absolutely certain of.

And then I wanted to be a high school English teacher all the way through college. Discovered I wasn't too good at it and I don't like high schoolers. Wish I would have got to that point before I graduated college. Now I don't know what I want to do.

[krissy]

i wanted to be tyler durden

[Darth Ganon]

I wanted to be a dragon.

Then I wanted to be a fairy.

You wanted to be Maleficent?

I understood the urgency of it when I was in High School

Something I've come to understand as I've gotten a little older is that it's not urgent at all while you're in high school. If students have a goal or passion to pursue then good for them, but it should never be expected of them. After all, even after graduation we were all still just kids.

[FFNut]

Ganon speaks the truth there. I fell into my career after while trying to save money to go to school. I may have spent 48 hours in college my whole life total.

[LunarWeaver]

An astronaut. Kinda classic I guess. Then I grew up and was like smuuuuurf that.

[Christmas]

I wanted to be an internet forum administrator.

[Quindiana Jones]

I wanted to be Christmas.

[Dr. Acula]

I wanted to be a blitzball
