dna4ever 2 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Curious every kid has that vision or dream in there head of what they want to be when they grew up. I realize that alot of the people on this forum (meh, infact probably most) are still in school or havent started there career yet, but I'm interested to know how many people actually became what they wanted to be.I wanted to be an astronaut until the Challenger exploded and changed my mind.Then I wanted to be a Pharmacist, but realized as I got older I would probably slit my wrist standing behind a counter all day counting pills.I ended up starting my own business selling printer supplies and fixing printers.

RhinestoneCowboy 2 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I too wanted to be a lawyer when I was about 12, because I was good at arguing and talking my way out of things. I think figured out that I was good at math and went into engineering. Link to post Share on other sites

ricker 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 When I was around 8-14 years old I wanted to be a writer/journalist. Then I thought I could try my hand at being a lawyer for about two years...realized I was too lazy to be any kind of big success.Then I figured computer engineer/programmer because I had been raised on computers and could make then get up and dance. But I realized I hated the idea of sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.When I got to college, I thought I'd try my hand as a screenwriter...and I even wrote a couple. But turns out...I'm not very good...So...I got into my college radio program and fell into radio almost by accident. Now I'm a producer for an afternoon show here in San Diego.

ajs510 122 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Really when you think about it, my all-encompassing goal when I was a kid was to have a job that paid a lot of money (hence I wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, CEO, athlete, etc). Haven't gotten there yet (the money part), but I'm still working on it. Link to post Share on other sites

theresa113 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Wow. I wanted to be so many things. I wanted to be a writer, a lawyer, an advertising executive, a teacher, an actress, a broadway showgirl/ Rockette, a singer, a songwriter, a chef/resturant owner, a jewelry designer, an artist and an owner of a boutique. What am I? I am a trainer for the local telephone company. And you know what... I do almost all of the above things when I train except design jewelry or own a boutique.
