Answer 3

Oh the usual: teacher, doctor, policewoman, firefighter etc.
But the first one that i really gave thought to was to become an archeologist. Thanks to National Geographic magazines lol! Everyday i would come home from school, and just sit in bed flipping through the same editions over and over, lunch shower cartoons all forgotten until i was done imagining making a monumental discovery of a lost civilization.

But then i just wasnt the science type yknow? Ended up taking Journalism but i still think about it every now and then =]

Answer 4

I wanted to be lots of things of things when I was little. The first thing I remember wanting to be was an "Indian" when I grew up (I'm Swedish/Norwegian - it'd never work). Then I wanted to be a psychologist (because they made lots of money). I wanted to be a writer (and still wouldn't mind) and I also wanted to be a veterinarian. I didn't become any of those things... I starting shooting dope when I was 13 years old and pretty much everything I ever dreamed of becoming, was lost.

But, if not for my life experiences, I would not be where I am today. I have a great husband, son, job and 15 years clean and sober.

Answer 5

I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Nothing really stopped me. Just doubts during high school. Then after high school, I didn't sign into the education degree in college, just went for regular AA degree. I still was unsure about that choice. Now, I am a wife and mother... and still not a teacher. Perhaps, one day I will make it back to college. I am still young and theres still plenty of time.

Answer 6

This is no joke...

I remember telling my teacher that I wanted to be the person who put tops on pens.
I figure that it couldn't be a hard job and for some reason I thought I would make alot of money.
Who knows?............ I was a kid


Nothing stopped me from doing it, but I think I made a better career choice.

Answer 7

I wanted to be a majorette... yes... that's the chicks that wear the short skirts, twirl batons, and have pompoms on their boots. What happened? Well... I was only 4 at the time! It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to be... but I love teaching. *grin* And the pay is A LOT better!

Answer 8

No, I sort of reached all my goals. Now I sit on top of the anthill and smile. What's next? What's left to achieve when you reach your childhood dream? I guess I could go further, but I've not planned for it all my life, so I'll just stay on Y!A and hope I don't get a lot of violations......

Answer 9

I wanted to be a clown , so I applied for clown school with Ringling brothers circus. I did not go because I found out that most of the clowns were male, gay and somewhat evil. (as in mean and nasty).

Answer 10

I wanted to be a police officer, but then one day in senior kindergarten we had to draw a picture of what we wanted to be, and I couldn't draw a police car, but I could draw a firetruck, so I gave up on being a police officer and set my dreams on being a firefighter.

Answer 11

I wanted to become a graphic designer but my creativity ran out. *tear* so im studying International Development
