Discussion What did you want to become as a kid?

[ayb]

For me, I've always wanted to be a famous Formula 1 driver. Bonus points if I die in a spectacular crash after winning a Grand Prix in the era before all the safety regulations made the sport boring to watch.

 

[Grey-zone]

Actor, soldier. Now: failure-to-launcher living with parents working as hotel inventory/laundryman. It's a wonderful life.

 

[Made4TV]

A missionary. My atheist adult self gets a kick out of this.

 

[YukiFox]

When I was 8 years old I dream about being a filmmaker. One of my terror projects was called "The bloody mammoth"

 

[Circles]

I wanted to travel the world and do nature documentaries like Steve Irwin or David Attenborough.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

To become a singer by winning the Danish Melody grand prix.

 

[Final Escape]

An entertainer, animal care taker, fitness, beauty related fields. It's weird how I was never interested in anything to do with family, kids, or just being a regular unglamorous person lol! Probably because I was mostly ignored growing up. I was starved for attention.

 

[ShadowOfTheDay]

I wanted to be a ninja turtle. Hasn't quite happened yet, and the future of this dream is looking increasingly bleak.

 

[Kyrok]

Physician until about grade 4. Then physicist from grade 4 to 11. Then author, which is much of what I now do.

 

[ScarsAndStitches]

I wanted to be a film maker.

 

[brighter]

Astronomer

Maybe you aren't eating enough pizza ;)

Don't give up.

I used to change my mind quite often: singer, actress, veterinarian, oncologist, marine biologist, dog tainer, taxi driver, teacher and a lot of other things. I was a bit undecided to say the least. :D

 

[Ruffian]

Teacher . Now that I actually am one, my career choice has a lot to do with me being here. I mean tarring a road in Tennessee in July us probably THE WORST job ever. But teaching's become a close 2nd. And I used to love it; it's so f*ing depressing.

I used to want to be a taxi driver too! but then a guy told me not to as a female because they get robbed a lot. My next car will be a 4 door, I'm gonna sign up to drive for a ride-share service, and I'll be living the dream.

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

When I was a young kid, I read James Herriot's All Creatures Great And Small series and wanted to be a veterinarian. As I grew older, I realized that so many human industries that have to do with other animals treat these living beings as mere commodities, property, things to do with as it benefits humanity. And with that realization I turned away from all serious professional considerations of biology.

I was told that too, not to mention that I have no sense of direction.I need a map to find the bathroom :D Before the GPS era I would have been a really crappy taxi driver.

 

[Worthless_nobody]

I remember I originally wanted to be a veterinarian. But after poor little kid me found out that meant having to put down peoples pets I changed my mind. I wanted to be a hair stylist but never got to follow that dream.

 

[Minvino]

I always want to be a pastry chef, I want to make beautiful but edible art that taste great.

I did went to school for it but I dropped out because it made my depression and anxiety worst than it was before and I can't seem to bond with my ex-classmates.

At least I now know the basic of it. Maybe if life works out after all I'll make everyone here a beautiful cake :)

 

[RottenOdysseus]

I wanted to be an astronaut as a very little kid and in middle school I wanted to be a politician really bad since I got obsessed with politics for some reason.

 

[MistakesHappen]

Magician / illusionist

 

[Moogle]

Astronaut, Filmmaker, Entertainer, Video Game developer - in that order. I still lowkey wanna do them all though.

I swear I need glasses or a brain transplant as I read one of these as : taxidermist

Which of course is a fine thing to do if you like that sort of thing, it just sounded odd coming after 'dog trainer'

I misread a lot too.

I always wanted to be suicidal... Yuppp living the dream, living the mf dream...



Jk. I wanted to become a cop or military but instead turned into a sociopathic criminal wayyyy off target.

 

[Meretlein]

I loved snakes as a little girl so I wanted to be a herpetologist. I had pet snakes for most of my childhood and well into my teen years. As I got older I wanted to be a diplomat because I liked languages and history.

 

[Exile]

Many different things. Now I just want to be an NHL towel boy.

 

[Hopeless_soul]

I always wanted to be suicidal... Yuppp living the dream, living the mf dream...

Yeah. I can relate to that. I've had many dreams, but the idea of ctb has always been in the back of my mind, so it's like every time I tried to do something, I didn't put all the effort. Probably because I was relying on suicide...

 

[Hopeless_soul]

I wanted to be an author, DJ, cook...
