A Chemist
So odd since now I hate science!

I wanted to be a detective, that later progressed to forensic scientist, then to someone who develops alternative fuels, then environmental engineer in general, but now i just wanna be a computer geek.
anyhow, I blame Encyclopedia Brown and Captain Planet.

I always wanted to be a paleotologist (sp).

Doctor, healer, toy designer, teacher, animator, comic book artist were kinda on the radar as well.

Somehow I'm in graphic design, which is very confusing

When I was little I wanted to be a cat breeder. When I realised it probably wouldn't pay much and I'd be cleaning out a LOT of litter trays, I wanted to be a scientist. I realised that would get boring after a while, so I decicded to be a vet. Eventually I decided that it involved too much cleaning (i.e. cages, sweeping and mopping the floor etc.) and wanted to be a psychologist. Then I realised that unless you're a clinical psychologist, you don't actually have much to do with people who have a disability, so I decided to then be a psychiatrist.

A doctor is my current ambition, from there I plan to work toward psychiatry.

I wanted to be a dog at one time. When I was 5 and 6. After that I wanted to be in the FBI. Now at 16, I want to be a Neurologist.

I wanted to be a marine biologist.

Ive always wanted to be a superhero (and still do), but dreams do get broken. During childhood I also wanted to be an artist, musician or sportsperson (as long as I was the best in the world at it). I have also always wanted to be an inventor (and still do). at about 10 I wanted to be an astronomer, still kinda do. After that a physicist, still do. And now a cognitive neuroscientist or philosopher and also all of the things mentioned before excluding the early childhood ones.

until about 12 i actively pursued being either a mob lord or world leader, i even came up with several plans of world domination over the years.

When I was in preschool I wanted to build and repair fans...

OK, in Kindergarden i told my teacher i wanted to be a bosen... my mom is in the navy and a bosen is a person on hte ship who signals when things are happening or going to happen. they have a really cool whistle thing, (i have one) and when i was in JK i was in love with my whistle...
The teacher actually called my mom and was like ''your daughter wants to be a bosen? what is that? is that even a real job?''
Took my mom a while to explain what it was and i was not a complete wierdo kid... turns out that was my first crazy intrest in something... my whistle and bosens...

veternarian

When i was little i wanted to be a teacher, then vetinarian, then musician/actress/model/writer still do wanna be the 3rd one

Scientist and dictator of the world

Well when I was young I was upmost terrified of storms, I would hide under blankets and cover my eyes and ears until it passed. However when I was 7 I got caught in a huge storm, lightning hit our roof and so forth.

I actually enjoyed it (I mean it was terrifying) but I for some reason wanted to experience it again. For some time I wanted to be a storm chaser and went around following storms and so forth, but since the area we live in hardly ever gets storms I dropped that passion and just enjoy the good old' storm that comes by every so often (By usually staring at the sky non-stop for up to 2 hours even if there is hardly any lightning).

I wanted to be a doctor
