What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

[Deleted member 29920]

I wanted to be a "lolly-pop man" because they don't start working until they are 65. Lol.

I bet people will be
Wondering what a lolly pop man is :D I know though :D

Oh yeah......besides a marine biologist, I also wanted to be an oceanographer. At a bout age 16 I wanted to be Ozzy Osbourne, then later at about age 19, Greg Lake. Mostly tho', I just wanted to be someone I could believe in and I have achieved that.....in the end none of the other stuff really mattered.

still "growing up" (I'm in high school), but ideally a doctor... specifically a pediatric surgeon

When I was in kindergarten, I wanted to be a raccoon trainer for the circus.

Later, because I love archaeology and ancient history, I wanted to be Indiana Jones.

As I got older, I knew I would be something in the medical field, and finally fell in love with EMS.

I always wanted to be a coroner...:rolleyes: ....or something similar from the medical field.

I wanted to be a Mum.

Really ironic considering the trauma that caused my PTSD but I desperately wanted to be an air accident investigator. It fascinates me totally.

Wanted to be a writer since I was 4. Flirted w/ writing adjacent careers for 20 years. Now writing - but it's a hobby until I get paid, so fingers crossed and back to work.

At 5 A Veterinarian
7 A Science Fiction Novelist
8-10 An astronomer, Math teacher, Fashion Designer, Songwriter
13 An Aeronautical Engineer
14 A songwriter, Engineer and Painter
15 A marathoner
16 An Aeronautical Engineer, Songwriter and Marathoner

As you can see I still can't choose just one career I want to pursue. But, at least I narrowed it down.

Believe it or not many people pursue careers for similar reasons. Like doctors that lost someone to an illness. Psychologists that have their own struggles. Police officers who know someone that was hurt in a crime. Some simply choose it because they are good at it, enjoy it, or it is what your parents do for a living.

Younger: singer, writer, fbi agent at 9 (that threw a lot of people off, lmao).
Older before PTSD: registered nurse and studied for it.
