LOL this is a cute thread!!!


When I was little I once cleaned EVERYTHING out of my closet, pulled my night stand in there and my play phone and made an "office" i sat there and shuffled papers and made phone calls, and had my mom bring me juice. :) I was a buisness woman!! lol

then i wanted to be a teacher in 3rd grade

then somewhere in elementary like around 5th -6th grade i wanted to be a marine biologist and became obsessed with the ocean...

then in middle school i was on the newspaper, quickly moved to editor in chief and then in high school went on the same path...

i tried journalism but then changed my major to elementary education after realizing how much i love kids and want to make a difference in their lives :D

YAY for teachers :D

When I was little I said I was going to be a lawyer because my parents were lawyers.

In High School, I wanted to get a PhD in Psychology, focusing on Gifted Education.

I also wanted to major in musical theatre, and perform on Broadway. My mom told me I was "too smart to be an actress" and only minimally encouraged my performing

I realize now I don't have the talent (or nerves) necessary for being a professional performer, but I wish I would have had more vocal and dance training.

In college I started as a Computer Science major; I quickly transferred to Information Systems.

Midway through my Sophomore year, I decided to go to law school. I want(ed) to specialize in Intellectual Property and Internet law.

Some days, I hate myself for taking the "safe" path. As I sit here listening to the Will Rogers Follies soundtrack (the last show I was in) I realize how much I miss performing.

Moonstar's post also reminded me of another 'career' I once played at when I was about 6.

I had all of these stuffed animals, and I would sit them on the stairs. Then I would pull my desk & chalkboard in front of them & 'teach' them stuff. I think my mom even has a photo of me doing that!

Now the only interest I have in teaching is at the college level, which requires more school for me.

I always wanted to be a dancer. When I was little you couldn't get me to sit down for anything! (sorry mom and dad!!:p )
But I stopped taking class and competing 2 years ago.
Now I want to be a teacher. I love working with kids!

a fairy princess, an entertainment lawyer, and an author..

i am definately none of these..i majored in psychology in undergrad with the intention of pursuing my education further and eventually getting phd so i could be a therapist..however, the thought of that does not really appeal to me anymore..my latest idea is to go back for my masters in education and become a school social worker...i'm sure it will change tomorrow tho

I wanted to be a model, actress, or singer. I did some modeling when I was younger, was an extra in 2 movies due to modeling (the extent of my acting career), and had a better singing voice when I was in 5th grade than I do now... so yeah, none of those things worked out. As for now, I'm graduating in May with a broadcast journalism degree, for which will not be all that helpful since I no longer want to be a reporter now. I want to work on movies doing ANYTHING. My goal in life is to work on movie sets, the whole atmosphere fascinates me. If anyone can help me out with that, let me know!

A pediatrician... which is strange when you consider how much I dislike kids. :)

Actress, prima ballerina, teacher, singer, violinist, opera singer, CIA agent, pregnant wife of Brad Pitt, Olympic figure skater, fashion designer, CNN reporter, ESPN Broadcaster (for basketball), flight attendant, rock star......

I think I might end up being a Kindergarten teacher, English as a Second Language teacher, or a flight attendant.....I have no clue yet.

I always wanted to be a Disney animator when I grew up. I used to draw everything. Then for some reason I stopped and didn't draw for years. I tried doing it again a few months ago, and you lose the ability if you don't keep practicing. I think being a teacher will be more rewarding than working for a mouse anyway.

I always wanted to be a veterinarian, and even went pre-vet in college. But then I decided it wasn't for me. My life totally didn't turn out the way I expected, because I'm doing something now I actually remember saying I would NEVER do when I was a kid!

But the average person changes careers several times, right? I'm hoping to get a job at the National Zoo :)

i wanted to be a doctor from the time i was 6 yro. i changed my speciality several times...pediatrician, vet, and neurologist. freshmen year in college, i decided that i didn't want to be a doctor. i didn't know what i was going to do, but i switched to psych and senior year, i decided to be a teacher. i plan on getting my phd, so i guess that dr thing will come true!

Hope I don't get flamed for this, because it was just a little kid speaking, and it was cute at the time. In 2nd grade, the teachers all ask what you want to be when you grow up.. Of course all the little boys want to be cops and firefighters and astronauts...And all the little girls want to be nurses and princesses and mommies. My teacher got to me and it went like this:

Mrs. Straight (yes, real name): Amy, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Me (Head held high): I want to be black.

Mrs. Straight: No, no honey, I mean what do you want to DO when you grow up??

Me (getting irritated): I want to BE black!!! :mad:


That crotchety old woman CALLED MY PARENTS :mad: to 'let them know the things I was saying in school'... :mad: I never did like her...

When I got a little older and realized I couldn't make any money just 'being' someone, I decided being a vet or a doctor would be in order.

I always wanted to be a teacher, and at the end of april I get my degree/teaching certificate.

LOL not offensive at all. It was cute.
