When you was younger, what did you want to be & in the end did you actually grow up & be what you wanted 2 be?

Answer 1

I wanted to be a grown up, yes achieved it.

Answer 2

I wanted to be a policeman till I was about eight or nine, then I wanted to be a teacher. I didn't grow tall enough for the first or pass enough exams for the second, so I went into Television and became a tv cameraman. Sometimes I wish I had a more worthwhile career as tv can be frivolous to say the least, but I've had a lot of fun and met some lovely people. In the end it's the people who make it enjoyable or not - something to remember when your tempted to be a bastard youself. Do as you would be done by and the world will be a better place.

Answer 3

Well in my case I can definitely state that that's the case, although by strange twists in life, not only did I achieve all, but a bit extreme to. Amazing... I wanted to travel, have a dog, own a horse, and live in the woods... OK I got a job as a flight attendant for 6 years, so there travel to the max. On a flight a came across a dog breed (Newfoundland) and because of a car accident my flying career was over and I finally had time for a dog, then an other Newfoundland I rescued, then a Landseer who was abandoned by the world... so there's the 3 dogs for you, And I now own 8 quarter horses, by pure chance and misfortune.. (I love em all don't get me wrong!) So, isn't that weird? All so extreme too, I shouldn't have wished for those things so hard I guess ha ha

Answer 4

I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was a child. I was always drawing up designs for classmates who gave me paper to bring home and expected me to give them new designs the next day. I didn't become one because I did well enough to do something else at university. I still want to become a fashion designer but I think I don't share the same taste as most people nowadays. I wouldn't feel comfortable designing clothes that make women look fierce (like a female warrior with all those metal studs and huge buckles), too eager, tarty, silly (some clothes are simply so uncomfortable they make you wonder what sort of intelligence level the wearers have to put up with them)... but the trends in recent year seem to suggest that these are what people want to wear.

Answer 5

I used to deliver papers from my Dad's shop.
I did well at our local Grammar School 8 O Levels, and...
I applied for a course on industrial chemistry at Leicester Uni.
Accepted but I was not sure and, after a few months left school to be an articled clerk in accountancy.

Why; I was delivering the Manchester Guardian to the Bowling Green pub on my paper round when, at that instant, I decided to become an accountant.

At the age of ten (I subsequently discovered) I had written an essay saying that I wanted to be an accountant when I grew up!

Very odd bur I have never regretted my decision to leave the sixth form Immediately

Answer 6

When I was 13 I decided that I wanted to be a journalist. However, by the time I was 18 I realised that nice journalists were like gold dust and most of them worked for the gutter press. I decided that I didn't want to be asociated with that crowd so I tried to get into web design. Long story short, it all went belly up. I now work in local government. So no I didn't end up where I wanted. Still time though.

Answer 7

My mother set a curse on me.... She prophetized I'll do everything I want!!!...
So I studied as many a stuff as I could reach in time and means.... I lived in 3 countries, learned 5 languages, studied art, music, acting, worked in 3´professions, and finally studied MEDICINE then psych, and related marvels. I had 2 husbands and 2 great children....
What I wanted to be, I can't remember, an artist I think, so I still do some drawing and painting, on my free time, and are pretty happy seeing my folks and some progress in my patients.
Thanks for asking, this made me go back in time and feel quite at ease with my life, later I'll tell you the rest, as I still pretend to live a little longer...........

Answer 8

I wanted to be a secretary and work in a nice big office, I ended up leaving school at 15, worked in a supermarket then a factory, got made redundant, finally went to college aged 32 to get qualifications for secretarial skills, landed what I thought was my dream office job, a PA to a company director, I totally hated it so much, just was not how I had dreamt it would be, took a job in administration, not much better and now I can't work due to a serious accident..

Answer 9

I wanted to be many things when I was a child, I wanted to be footballer, a policeman, a teacher, a comedian and a writer. I am none of these. I played football til I left school and got bored and did other things instead. I tried to join the police but my eye sight let me down, dunno why cos my mate is a copper and he wears glasses - duh! I tried to get into teaching but courses were full, and I didn't get accepted for training at the Uni I wanted to go to. I am funny so people tell me all the time, but I'm not really a performer anymore like I was when I was younger. I can write and want to, so I'm working on that!
