    I alternated between wanting to make the next Star Wars movie and wanting to be an actual Jedi (yeah, I've always been a big ole nerd...) Some things never change ;)

    I wanted to be an engineer, which I am not credentialed as, but I design things, and in my professional field I'm widely recognized as an engineer.

    I wanted to be a scientist. Instead I'm in Human Resources. I do love science though, I like to take some courses for fun

    I wanted to be a black lady. My first years were in a very small town, where I knew only three black ladies and one American Indian lady. They were always so nice to me, and tolerant, but most of the white women I knew were mean. As a child, in preparation, I ate and drank a lot of chocolate, because I thought that would assure my desire. Also, all my new dolls were black -- something very hard to find in my town in the '50s.

    Funny thing: I have an illness that causes some of my skin to be very, very dark. Hee-hee-hee!

    My "unrealistic" desire was everything that had to do with building a house & when I found out that a full time job, was 40 hours a week; I figured that I'd be an architect for 1 of those hours, a framer, brick layer, roofer, plummer, electrician, finishing carpenter, etc. Then I'd design cars, clothes, jewelry, etc., for an hour each & whatever else, until I had a career; for each of those 40 hours.

    My "realistic" desire was to be an architect & work for a firm. Once I became established, I'd build my own home & attach my own architectural business to it, with a door inside linking my home with my business; so that I could be a business woman & have a mother's helper/babysitter, while I was on the business side of the house but then be a stay at home mother, in between meeting clients & when I'd just otherwise be in my office & not on a building site, etc.

    Unfortunately I became disabled, when I was 14 years old & thus never achieved my goals.

    A nuclear physicist. Then I found out how much school and how little money, so it became a mechanical engineer. Somehow and a long convoluted life, I am in accounting.

    That happened to my cousin. Only his issue was he was color blind.
