    I wanted to be a nurse, like my mother, and later, I wanted to be a pediatrician.
    Now, I'm an engineering student, and I have a summer job. I don't know what I'll be doing with my degree though when I graduate.

    When I was really little (like < 5) I wanted to be a doctor.

    Now: I am an undergraduate in a top school studying health science. I work in research at a research hospital. Although I no longer have plans to become an MD, I plan to go to grad school next year. So... close(ish) to my childhood dream? lol

    As a kid, I wanted to be a Disney animator or a cartoon voice-over artist.

    As an adult, I am a very high level systems engineer who has worked in banking, aerospace, education, entertainment, and healthcare although I jumped around a bit between. I was a cook, a factory worker, a bartender, a casino craps dealer in Las Vegas, a pitboss, a surveillance operator, a pizza delivery driver, web developer, etc. and did those things for about 8 years. I also still have a real estate license.
