I wanted to be lots of things, amongst them a vet, fighter pilot, jockey, film star, novelist, rally driver.

I have been/am none of those things but I do love my job.

I wanted to be everything: A scientist, basketball player, skateboarder, the president, etc. This was when I very young.

Since about the 5th grade, I wanted to become a physicist, a career that I am pursuing right now with extreme diligence.

I remember wanting to race sled dogs in Alaska, then I wanted to be a zoo keeper. Then I wanted to be an author, and then a manga artist.

I think the only one I have a real chance at achieving is "author", so I'm going to go for that.
