What did you want to be as a kid

Post Reply New Topic

I wanted to do great things before my 18th birthday and get myself labelled as a prodigy.

Didn't quite pan out. Heh.

I wanted to be a vet, and then I realised that you have to inject dogs with needles so I wanted to be a dog walker. Then I went through a phase where I wanted to be a 'Speed Clown', which was just silly. After that I took an interest in astronomy and loved planets and stuff. Then I went to secondary school and didn't want to be anything for a while. Then my psychology phase came in, the phase 90% of teenagers seem to go through before realising that it's actually hard and not as cool as you thought. Luckily, I decided on being a director before making my Year 10 choices. Now I haven't got such huge aspiration and realise that film production is just my calling, preferably a director or cinematographer. I still the human mind and like psychological thrillers, though, seeing what a character does in different situations.

But hopefully I'll be in education for the next five and a half years, so I don't have any idea what's actually going to happen, just what I strive to do.

a broadcast engineer [tv or radio] or disc jockey or recording engineer.

When I was really young I wanted to be an Olympic Ice Skater.

During a few of the Elementary School to Middle School years, I was stuck on the same three careers and wanted to do them simultaneously .
-Lawyer
-Optometrist
-(First female) U.S. President

Teen Years:
-Publication Layout Designer
-Computer Programmer
-Archaeologist
-Astrophysicist
-Engineer

As a kid i wanted to be in independent adult, who choosed for himself what social settings to enter.
I dreamed of controlling when i should leave my comfortzone or not.

I loved football/soccer, but i didnt want to be pro athlete due to the pressure and level of attention i would get.
Did not have any jobdreams.

I ve wanted to be a paleontologist sine i was six . I got the idea when i was reading a dinosaur book and it descibed what a paleontologist does. I liked the idea of traveling the world and spending alot of time outdoors. Also liked the idea of getting to study dinosaurs for a living.i guess im still young enough to pursue a paleontology career although i heard it might not pat that much

A few I remember, vet, show jumper, jockey, equestrian instructor, artist, nurse, mostly a show jumper though.

I wanted to be a Policeman, not a detective, just a normal british bobby who helps old ladies out of trees and cats across the road.
Then when I was about 10 I realised that I wanted to be a Jedi.

Yep, still want to be a Jedi.

I wanted to stop being a kid, and get away from having to live with my mother.

Otherwise, I had no ambition to do anything.

Astronaut. I would still love to look down on the Earth from space.

an adult. or at least a different kid.

I only wanted to be left alone. I never wanted to "be" anything....still don't.
