What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

I wanted to be a lawyer as a kid. That changed.

Most of the time, a veterinarian. Also an astronomer, an archeologist, and an astronaut. Mostly I wanted to be grown up so I could move out on my own.

Interesting how many people wanted to be veterinarians!

I wanted to be a stuntman in the movies when i was real little. Then a soldier or a special end teacher ( I had read an awesome book series). After trauma I didn't even want to be in school much less teach!
Eventually I joined the Army for too short a time, but that's another story.

I also wanted to be "formidable"... a formidable force be it adversary or foe. It was really important for me to get some moxie and endeavor to be bold.

@scout86 my therapist thinks I enjoy the company of animals more than the company of humans. He might be on to something. I was always interested in medicine but I could never get past the needle. Something about it always made me panicky. I used to watch films on heart surgeries etc but that damn needle into the skin. *shudder* it shut down a whole world for me. Well, that and the fact that I don't have the brains necessary to actually follow through and get any sort of medical license. I'm just not smart enough. So I stuck to the arts. *shrug*

I wanted to be a prison officer , my friends wanted to be hair stylists or air stewards but i didnt follow the crowd. My second option was police officer - i did do a stint in the voluntary police which i enjoyed, however i didnt sign up as i got a promotion in my paid job and the money was better with no risk. I wanted to be a prison officer as i wanted to make a difference, not just about locking people up. Anyway i never joined the service and ended up doing something completely different - which i love.

Desi, I definitely feel more comfortable with animals than people. Had a similar problem with shots etc, although I learned to give them. (Long story.) It was a production, but I was admitted to vet school and flunked out. If I'd known then what I know now....

I wanted to be an artist or a writer.

i wanted to be a sign writer or an architect. At school my tech drawing teacher was old and very sleazy and their was only one other girl in my class.

I never got to be an architect or a sign writer

I wanted to be a doctor. A heart surgeon actually. I didn't. I own my company. It does well and I "enjoy" it. I have a cool job to most but something inside me always regrets not becoming that doctor. I wanted to fix hearts. Goofy, I know.... I make a really good living and am incredibly thankful but there is something to be said about following your heart.

No pun intended lol
