When you were young.....

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?


I wanted to be an R.A.F pilot but was told I couldnt cos I was a girl.

At 27, I realised I wanted to be a criminal profiler. Went to college, uni, and still trying now!

I actually wanted to be in the R.A.F too as a helicopter pilot but couldn't as i don't have 20:20 vision.

I am now hopefully starting training to be a special needs teacher :) (I'm 23)

In kindergarten i wanted to be a thief. Then i was told that thieves go to prison..... What a bummer!!!!

Growing up i wanted to work in the navy. But a bad back put an end to that dream....

I also wanted to be a doctor. But i never got the grades to get into med school.
I studied nano science for a year at uni. Then i got ill. Totally bonkers. Haven't really been in education since then..... I don't have much of a clue what is possible for me, education wise..... Back in highschool, taking some classes..... But i feel old compared to my class mates.

I wanted to be a dinosaur when I was very young (way to go little me!)

Then, I couldnt decide between being a teacher, an artist or a climber. So, I was going to do all of them. Climb big mountains, paint the views and then come back and teach little kids all about it lol (forward planning!)

In high school, I was going to be a teacher, or something in relation to mechanics, maths physics type of thing.

When I went to uni, I was going to be a nurse.
lol

Since I was about 6 I've wanted to be a police officer. Since it wasn't realistic I've also gone through various options when I was younger e.g. Lawyer, Crash Investigator, teacher, psychologist...and apparently when I was very little, a milk-lady.

But deep down always a police officer, and that hasn't changed whatsoever. Unfortunately, my eyesight isn't good enough, and I've also made things slightly difficult for myself. But I will get as close as I can. :D

The long standing dream for me as a child was to be a paleontologist. I always wanted to do that, until I gave up and ****ed up my grades in school.

Haha sorry that sounds far more saddening than it was meant to :)



Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again

This is the first thing

I wanted to be a stuntwoman until I was about 13, and ever since then it's been a vet.

And I agree, I'd love to be able to fly too. I've been in a tiny 2-person helicopter before and it was absolutely fantastic, I'd love to be able to fly one of those.



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

A vet.
Right up until I finished college it was all I wanted to do.
Although at that point I'd done work experience in a vet surgery and realised it was a lot of standing up all day and seeing really routine cases and stuff and I think perhaps I only continued to want it because I had no idea what else to do.

I'm doing Biology now, and then I still have no idea what to do!

Caise: my little brother (11) wants to be a paleontologist.

I always wanted to be a farmer but was put off by the fact it's barely a subsistence wage. Part of me would still love to be a farmer.

makedamnsure: I'm a final year vet student, so if you want any information on the course/job you can PM me if you like. Or you could look at vet nursing?

And a paleontologist is a really cute thing to want to be for an 11 year old!

I used to want to be a farmer as well! And at one point I wanted to be a scientist, so that I could be like my uncle. I was a hardcore little kid :P
