What I wanted to be
 

1) interior decorator
2) something in the publishing field
3)teacher- even worked in a preschool for half a second
4) a libarian
5) a human resources excu
6) a writer

Right now I'm a customer service rep. I'm about a year from finshing my 2nd bachlor's in education. I stil may teach and eventually get a master's in library science.

In my elementary years I went through the regular jobs:
Teacher
Singer/Dancer
Police Officer
Dispatcher for the stork that drops the babies off at the houses :) -I wanted to tell him which house to drop the babies off at (I actually was one of the few naive children who believed that story for a min)

Somehow in 6th grade I went far and beyond the dispatcher job to something even more rare - A professional figure skater.
I chased that dream for 8 years and now am pursuing becoming one of the first/youngest African American figure skating Gold Judges. I still skated with the team up at my school Western Michigan Univ. but becoming professional is far-fetched.

As far as real jobs are concerned, I want to work for the music industry with helping to develop and recruit up and coming talent as well as producing albums. At 18yrs of age, i still have at least 3 years of college to change this.

I always wanted to be a veterinarian (my first choice), but I just couldn't get with science no matter how hard I tried.:( When I got to college, I majored in my second choice while taking some science classes that I needed anyway. That's when I found out I did a good thing by not being a pre-veterinary major.:o

My second choice was to become a journalist. That's what I have my degree in, but I don't use it. I ended up in healthcare.

My third choice was teaching. My senior year in high school, I enrolled in the Teacher Cadet program to get a feel for the profession.

When I was little, I told my Dad I wanted to grow up and be a wife and mother.... and a cpa (he was happy when I said cpa!)

Hi GC Peeps!!!!
 

***back at work from maternity leave****

When I was little I wanted to be:

1. An airline stewardess - Until I find out that planes crash and burn.

2. An Artist - I can draw really well, but my mother told me artists make NO money and I would turn out homeless. (she's harsh)

3. A model - I went to modeling school and did a few local shows but no "super model" stuff.

4. A veterinarian - like everyone else I realized I would be in school for eva and said forget it!

5. Go into finanacial services like my Mom which is were I am today.

Let's see....
 

1. Game Show Host (of course)--as a kid I redesigned the basement to make it look like the set of Password Plus...

and would have stuffed animals be the contestants & celebrities.

In addition, at school I would host games like Blockbusters and Card Sharks with my classmates.

2. Lawyer--Dan Fielding from Night Court made it look so easy

3. Airplane pilot--that's what I originally went to college for.

4. Architect (though I didn't know it by name), because as a kid I spent my spare time drawing houses in my neighborhood in precise detail block by block within a 1 square mile area. Also because I would design houses made from popsicle sticks at the neighborhood rec center.

5. Teacher--my 5th grade teacher made the job look so easy and also b/c we kids were never bad, just mischievious :D Needless to say, as I got older, that ambition didn't last long.

6. Grocery store checker--well, with the advent of self check-out, that job is soon to be obsolete.

7. Actor - I have a very natural knack for acting and drama--five years performing in various plays can't be wrong

Re: Hi GC Peeps!!!!
 

Congratulations on the new baby

1. Secret service agent

2. Writer for Sports Illustrated

3. Supreme Court jurist

The majority of my childhood life, I wanted to be in the medical field...wanted to be all of them throughout my growing up. UNTIL...I experienced.....High School chemistry. After that, I waved goodbye.

My interest in business cam along when I discovered I was able to play the game.

I had my whole agenda planned out at age 10....

I wanted to go to Spellman
Become an AKA (like my mommy) :)
Marry a Que (like my daddy) :)
Become a doctor
Have 2 really well-behaved kids

Here's how it REALLY went down...

I went to Howard
Married someone who is not a doctor, but is good man, nonetheless!
Am an AKA
Career in E-marketing, commincations & training
Have 2 kids...I won't comment on their behavior!

Close enough!

Re: Hi GC Peeps!!!!
 

I am sitting at my desk CTHU. I totally understand your logic though. :D :D

Well,

Early age: Art teacher
Late Elem.-Freshman HS: Meteorologist
Sophomore HS-1st semester of college: Architect and Interior Designer (I actually started school, with a scholarship and all, but the actuality of the job wasn't for me).

I also used to want to be an XYZ (which shall remain nameless). It was family tradition, and only natural...until I realized I had to do what was right for me personally.

When I was 3, I told my mom that I wanted to be a bus driver so I could make the wheels go round and round.

Then I wanted to be a lawyer from elementary to jr. high

Then I wanted to teach Spanish in high school. Y'all I was the queen of Spanish in high school. I even founded a Spanish Club (El club de Espanol). They still have the banner that I made with my signature and underneath I wrote Founder.

My sophomore year in college I decided that Spanish and I should go our separate ways.

I then wanted to work as an agent for either the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, somebody!!

Now, I want to work in Human Resources.

However, I did get one of my wishes. I do work for a gov't agency. I'm just not an agent!

I wanted to be an actress on "The Young and the Restless".

I wanted to be an advertising executive, and I KNOW I would have been a good one as far as coming up with ideas and slogans. When I got to college my major was marketing, but that accounting killed me! I had always wanted to be a teacher too, but the low pay discouraged me. I switched sophmore year to education and went ahead and did what I knew would keep me content. I NEVER EVER want to work in the months of June or July! Teaching has its perks....
