What did you want to be when you grew up?

[yvr girl]

The first thing I remember wanting to be was an astronaut...either that or a princess.

Alas, I am neither.

[Left Is Write]

1. An advertising whiz, a lawyer, a psychologist, a writer, a mom.

[sniffa]

2. a stripper

[Rick Myers]

3. Astronaut

I'm 48, and I STILL want to be one. When I was in the AF I applied to the Shuttle Mission Specialist program and was summarily rejected, too tall and glasses. Damn...

[Ready4Change]

16. Me too.

Got the glasses. Not sure if height would have been a problem. (6 foot even here.)

[Orsino]

33. Me three. n/t

[tjdee]

4. A doctor or movie star.

Either one. I actually expected I'd be both.

Sigh.

[Shoeempress]

5. Lawyer like Perry Mason or Atticus Finch. I am a Lawyer, but no where

near as talented. But I really love my job.

[johnnie]

6. The first thing I recall wanting to be was a trash collector

I have no idea why. I always wanted to be a "rock singer" also.

[undeterred]

7. Psychiatrist or wife of a Beatle

:hi:

[u4ic]

8. A cowgirl

a Bigfoot hunter and a racehorse trainer.

All at the same time.

I used to ride, live near the Rockies and watch horse racing. Errr...halfway there? :shrug:

[jody]

9. All my childhood dreams came true including a wonderful wife, children,

and grandchildren.

I've seen the world both good and evil, I prefer the good.

I've lost loved ones before their life's journey was complete and seen others waste their talents pursuing material things only to achieve wealth and lose happiness.

My goal and efforts now are helping others make their dreams come true while understanding their proper role in nature.

[Midnight Rambler]

10. First baseman for the Texas Rangers

Nowadays, I'm studying film and I don't care about baseball. Funny how things work out.

[RagingInMiami]

11. I wanted to be a gangster

[Kazak]

12. I remember telling people when I was four years old...

that I wanted to be a paeleontologist(my dad was a geologist). I remember seeing some pretty funny expressions upon hearing that word come out of a four-year-old's mouth. :)

[texas1928]

13. Gigolo

[matcom]

14. Journalist

The shit that passes for journalism today is just pathetic.

19. race car driver..

I was 5 or 6 when I saw Steve McQueen in Le Mans.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

20. A spy

or have some super-secret job with the CIA. I liked the idea of living a double life, which is what I thought a lot of times I was doing anyway. One person on the outside, another on the inside.

[The Blue Knight]

21. President of the United States

I can run in 2028 ;)

[steely]

22. First was a Railroad Engineer

I had the get-up and everything. It would've been cool - looking out the window of a big locomotive driving (train-ing?) around everywhere, .. but soon afterward it was astronaut.

[nevergiveup]

23. An artist or a politician

[Jokerman]

24. Fighter Pilot

Until I found out that meant joining the military.

[xmas74]

25. Stevie Nicks.

Or a rocket scientist or president or a writer.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. From very early in my conscious life, I wanted to be

a nurse...later on, I decided that I wanted to be a lawyer and then the first lady president...

The nurse happened...the lawyer and president didn't!

No regrets either..

[OKNancy]

28. A dancer

(a real one)

[SKKY]

32. The center fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers

[China_cat]

34. Veterinarian

Got that taken out of me real quick in the days of few scholarships, no Pell grants and what there was reserved for males. My stepfather told me that if he was going to pay for me to go to college I would have to be a nurse, a teacher or a secretary...something -fit- for a woman.

[StopTheMorans]

35. a disruptor on a Democratic message board; now THAT sounds like

the life! :crazy:

[SarahB]

36. I wanted to be a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

I was very into theater and I wanted to be a comedic actor. I haven't done any performing of any kind though since a high school chorus solo in 1990. :(

I started off majoring in marketing, changed my mind and got a degree in early childhood education, and I'm now working on another degree in nursing. Life happens. :shrug:
