And what are you now? Did you become your dream?

I wanted to be a Marine Biologist.

I'm now an assistant at a Real Estate agency.

    My parents tell me that I wanted to be a construction worker when I was a kid.

    During school I wanted to be an author.

    Now I am a purchaser for a distribution center.

    I can still be an author if I took the time and can always fall back on construction if I lose my job, so my dreams might still come true!

    I thought it would be cool to be an architect. But really, I didn't know what went into it. I basically pictured drawing blueprints which included furniture placement lol. So I dreamed of being an interior decorator who somehow magically designed the self-building homes I guess ;-)

    I have a liberal arts/communication degree, and have had a variety of somewhat random jobs. Most of them have fallen into either social services, auditing, or accounting realms.

    I wanted to be either a soldier or a teacher.

    Now I'm a technical writer, but I still want to be a teacher.

    I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
    Then I wanted to be an athlete.
    I'm now a managing director of an import company.
    Haven't given up on being an athlete though. :wink:

    Did you want to be a regular robot? Or a robot in disguise?
