When you were little, what did you want to be?
 

When I was 2, I wanted to be a doctor

When I was 8, I wanted to teach

When I was 14, I wanted to be a lawyer

When I was 17, I wanted to be an actress, and then a talent agent

When I was 22, wanted to be married (with kids.....and forget about the whole feminist thingie)

I'm now 25, not a doctor, not a teacher, not a lawyer, not an actress or a talent agent and DEFINITELY not married. In fact, I'm still in school.....but I'll be out soon.

I always wanted to be a veterinarian and a journalist. My ideal job was to work for National Geographic (which I determined by age 10).

Now, I'm heading toward being a college professor.

Well when I was little I wanted to be an archeologist or a teacher... This lasted up until I was 14... Then I decided I wanted to be an astronomer... So now I have my BS in Physics and Astronomy and will be starting this fall towards my phd in Space and Planetary Sciences... I guess I was a pretty determined middle schooler...

Famous performer of any sort, dancer, singer, actor, didn't matter, I did all three and LOVED IT (still do) As I got older, I did kinda persue that, had an agent, did the LA thing, but as we all know, you must have something to fall back on.
Now I'm working on being a music lawyer. I'm not one of those people who switches things up too much in life, I pretty much know what I want and always have.

I actually always wanted to be an elementary school teacher but my mom who was one talked me out of it. Back when I started college especially, and didn't foresee myself living in NYC there weren't many teaching jobs in the area I came from. I still think about sometimes going into Special Education. For some reason I don't see myself staying in Social Work forever unless I get out of the mental health field altogether!

when i was younger i wanted to be a doctor (no particular type)

now i'm working on my master's in psychology and aiming for my Ph.D. so i guess i'll be a "doctor" eventually...

- marissa

I wanted to drive the Zamboni during Boston Bruins games.

i used to want to be a chemical engineer when i was like 10...
....now i'm a chemical engineer, lol

how boring!

When I was in fifth grade, I wanted to be a speech pathologist/audiologist.
During high school, I wanted to work for the UN and eventually be the ambassador to Germany.
Now, I don't know :confused: . Guess I still have two more years of college to figure it out :rolleyes:. I'm leaning towards Public Administration/Law, but I would LOVE to be a Greek Life Coordinator.

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

When I got a bit older (around 8) I started working with computers, and I realized that that was what I wanted to do for a living. I stuck with that.

I always wanted to be an actress - never persued (sp?) it past high school though - maybe I should try again?

Said I wanted to be a computer scientist when I was 10, then changed my mind for a while. Ended up with a degree in MIS, and cannot stand it. Guess I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my life...

I wanted to be an actress, a detective for the FBI, a real estate agent, an accountant, a city planner, an author, President of the US, and a lawyer.

Still working on the lawyer thing, although lately I've had my doubts.

I just need to find a sugar daddy!

When I was in 1st and 2nd grade, I wanted to be a teacher.
When I was in 3rd through 5th grade, I wanted to be a dentist.
From middle school through high school, I wanted to be a doctor. I took a physics class my senior year in high school and it made me miserable. After realizing physics was a required course for all pre-med students, I decided that I wanted nothing to do with the medical field! I went into college with a major completely the opposite of anything medical; I majored in Marketing. I think I'm one of the few students who never once changed their major once after starting their program!
I now do Marketing and Public Relations. I still have a dream to one day be a women's fashion buyer for a large, high-end department store such as Bloomingdale's, Saks, or Neiman's.

I wanted to be a crossing guard, a priest, or a judge. I guess law school is the next logical step?

When I was in 2nd grade I wanted to be a chemist. I dressed up like one for career day in 2nd grade.

In 5th-9th, I wanted to be a physical therapist.

In 10th-11th, I wanted to be a journalist.

In 12th, I busted out with Marine Biologist from no where.

In college, I wanted to be a phycologist (person who studies algae).

Now, I'm going to be a teacher. Something I always said I hated. But I think I still might go back and get my phd in marine science and study algae. I like algae.
