I always wanted to be a cashier. I love ringing up sales on my fake cash register. I would play Grocery Store all afternoon.
I did become one at Caldor my senior year of college....Not all it's cracked up to be! But at least I lived out my childhood dream!!

Wow, that was really cathartic...LOL

i wanted to be a doctor or a nurse, then i realized that blood and other body fluids disgusted me. Than i wanted to be a lawyer. I actually never ever wanted to be a teacher until my senior year of high school, but I love my major and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I wanted to be a doctor, just like mommy and daddy.

When I was around 12, I decided to pursue computer science instead. I'd realized that (a) I'm not fond of the sight of blood, and (b) I was the only one in the house who could work the computer (or the microwave, or the VCR... :rolleyes: ) And the rest, as they say, is history...

I wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, or a celebrity as a child...Then as I got older I set more realistic personal goals

I thought it would be pretty cool to be a bus driver. I liked the way the doors swing open.

Obviously, it didn't turn out that way. Thankfully. All the stuff I've gotten to do in TV production has been pretty neat.

I wanted to be a dancer. I thought I would be a high school English teacher if the dancing didn't work. I also had a phase during 7th and 8th grade where I wanted to be a marriage counselor...??? I liked helping my friends with their boy troubles.

I am now a dancer, and I teach dance, but not English. I also still help my friends with their boy troubles, but am not liscensed, nor do I charge them!!! :D

I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, and a movie star/actress. I am none of the above.

I wanted to be either a game designer or a game tester. also a comic book artist.

I wanted to be a dog trainer, singer or (direct quote) an actress like Samantha on Bewitched.

When I went to college, I was an accounting major for two years. Income taxes suck. I would have had to have a semester of them. I changed to marketing.

I now work in insurance.

I'm back to wanting to be a dog trainer.

Good point. Driving a bus doesn't sound so bad, either.

I was born to be a dancer. I know it. I have always known it. I used to dance in my mothers high heels to Solid Gold and Dance Fever.

With all the traveling my family has done, I've never been able to train properly. By the time I made it to high school I figured I was too old. Then I thought maybe I'd do it in college, but again, I felt too old. Now I look back and think, "damn, I wasn't too old!"

My soul is all about dance and music.


Aside from that, I've wanted to be a doctor since junior high. I'm still considering it...maybe a Physician's Assistant.:confused:

When I was very little I wanted to be a missionary in Africa. What little kid (I mean like 4-5 years old) has that goal?! In retrospect, I think I was a lot more interested in the ANIMALS in Africa than the people. I just met missionaries at church who had lived there or something. Because I remember really wanting to see giraffes & elephants up close in the African plains.

When I was in like 4 or 5th grade I was really into art & becoming an illustrator.

By 9th grade I wanted to be a professional musician. I went to college for 2 1/2 years majoring in music performance. Then I decided that I really liked performing, but not the political stuff that went along with being professional. So I switched to communications.

I interned at a radio station. Very fun, but I wouldn't want to do that forever.

I'm currently a manager in a copy shop.

I just went to a career fair today & am now seriously considering looking into applying for a special agent position with the federal office of Housing & Urban Development.

So I guess I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! :D

When I was little I actually want to be a Pianist. Oddly enough I don't play the piano though.

When I was young, I wanted to be a ballerina, a pro football cheerleader, or a doctor.

I hate blood, so no more doctor.
My genes left me hanging at 5'4" and muscular, so no more ballerina.
Pro football cheerleader is still in the running though.

Since my freshman year in high school, I wanted to be a therapist, and I'm well on my way!! :)
