What did job did you want to have when you were little and what do you do now?
I wanted to be a vet, but someone told me it was a 5yr course. I think I also decided I was a bit too squeamish. Anyway, I dropped out of college, spent 4 years in retail and I'm about to do a degree in social work.
i wanted to be a lot of different things ranging from a dancer, to a teacher.. receptionist, pathologist, foot doctor and also a wedding planner... still not sure what i really want to do ...
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
When I was really little I wanted to be a writer and a marine biologist. Then I thought about becoming a professional musician but decided that was too risky so I was going to go to school to be a history teacher...
I changed my majors to theatre performance and dance - not practical but I'm in love with performing
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an archaeologist. It was more because I liked digging holes in the garden than I liked history.
Went through phases of wanting to be a doctor, an engineer, a radiographer. Never once did I think I'd end up as an English teacher. I'm glad I did though!

I always wanted to go to art school and be an artist. Since I was a little primary school kid I only wanted to be an artist, I was always drawing, painting and went through heaps of art supplies. I guess I was lucky that I knew what I wanted to be. I achieved my dream by graduating from art school and working as a freelance artist (after doing some rubbish jobs first), doing art community work (which got quite hard because of recession and cut backs- ah the life of a poor artist) . Just now I am unable to work, but thinking about this makes me realize I can hope to eventually get back to where I was. I haven't done a community art project since December last year, but I'm still making art work at my own pace. Wow, sorry, went off on a tangent.
Oh I just remembered there was one week in primary school I wanted to be a detective. My sister burst that bubble for me by telling me I had to be a police woman first. I didn't want to start from the bottom (and then there was a minimum height which I knew I would never reach going by genes and the fact I was a tiny child), so it was back to being an artist.
I went through phases of teacher, lawyer, author, paramedic and crash scene investigator (and apparently a milklady when I was very little), but always came back to the idea of wanting to be a police officer, and have done since I was about 6.
I'm now 23 and I'd still love to be a police officer if I could. >.< But alas. Now, I am a psychology graduate and hoping to do postgrad next year and hopefully work in research, sport psychology, or something related. :)
It's lovely to hear everyone's childhood dreams - especially people who went on to do/close to what their dream was.
I wanted to be a pilot, but learnt you had to have 20/20 vision to do that (I don't). You also have to be good at maths. The other problem was that I was/am scared of planes and flying, putting me at a slight disadvantage.
I never dreamt of being anything when I was little, now I don't care what I do as long as its 'helping' someone, even just as a secretary with a quick phone call. Stupid as it sounds, it makes all the difference in people's lives just to know they're being 'thought of' when they're ill.
When I was REALLY little I wanted to be a vet because I liked dogs, but after that I didn't really have any specific goals. Now I am a Graphic Designer, and I'm really happy with it~
I wanted to be a princess and then a dr and then a psychologist!!!

I wanted to be a farmer haha and then a nurse and then some other stuff and then back to a nurse again..I then started working as a auxillary nurse, hated it and am now a fitness instructor.
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
