When I was a kid/teen I always wanted to be a pediatrician, now that I'm older and have my own children. I realize I don't really like other peoples kids besides my own. I wish all kids to be healthy, but I'll rather not be the person that check their health and provide the medicine.

Judging from the pediatricians I've known, I don't think most of them like other people's children. You would have fit right in. ;-)

When I was 4, I wanted to be a penguin. Sometimes I waddle in mourning.

Then I wanted to be an "inventor." I kinda invent things now... like excuses. I'm very good at that sort of invention.

I don't think that you should give up on your dream of being a penguin. If you want it badly enough, you can do it.

Apparently I used to want to be a horse and would eat grass in the back garden. As I've grown older I've realised I don't have enough legs to be a horse and have followed an alternative career path :happy:

I used to do accessibility testing to make sure that systems developed for the Federal Government are usable by folks with disabilities (especially soldiers returning from war). I liked to think that I was making a difference in someone's life or some greater good. It felt like something with purpose and meaning. I never imagined myself doing this but I think the younger me would be proud.

Now, I'm doing something else and I'd rather go back to that. Younger me would think that I need to lose weight and do something else.

I guess so, when I was around 10 I saw my dad drive a lift truck and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
Now I run a shipping/receiving department and still love it.

I am, though it was my second choice. I couldn't do my first because of a medical disqualification

When I was younger I wanted to be in business creating cool things for other people and doing business like things - I know, I was a strange kid. I would always have my younger brothers and sisters, setup the playroom into an office type space and they would be at their desks pretend typing papers and asking me for directions. Wow, I still remember us having the best customer service in the world....we were a busy company (good times)

Now, I am happy to say that I have accomplished that "dream". I own a small business (www.kingsigns.net) creating superior signage for great businesses/clients. I work long hours (but I don't mind), I meet new and interesting people everyday and I get to work with my best friend as my business partner!!! I wouldn't have it any other way, I am glad I followed my dream and now I am working on starting a second business! Dreams do come true, with hard work and dedication...anything is possible! So, keep working towards your dreams and goals in all areas of your life. #Nevergiveup #Uneekfitness #Letsgetit

No, I'm not.

Because I'm stuck in my very own version of "It's a Wonderful Life"...

I'm a neurophysiologist so I'm sure that pretty much answers the question in itself. How many kids want to be a neurophysiologist when they grow up? haha. When I was a kid I wanted to be a comic book artist but that is kind of like wanting to be a rock star. Very few people get those jobs and you really have to have connections to get in with them.

Funny I wanted to be an accountant & ended up as a crack *kitten*... How ironic is that!!

I wanted to be an architect. When I went to college I realized I wanted to retire one day. So I decided to become an art director. Got my degree but now I'm in finance.

When I was a kid, I wanted to do art.

And I went to school for graphic design.

But then I realized that I don't get to really decide what a project really looks like and that people out in the world want ugly things to be made for them. Also, that they change their minds about a million times and ask for crazy revisions at the last minute.

So now I bartend. The money is pretty good, and I genuinely like getting to know people/talking to people. Working in a restaurant is fun, because all your coworkers are bat-**** crazy. I've been working in restaurants for about 9 - 10 years now. Don't know what the plan is when I got too old and ugly to bartend. Maybe i'll manage? The boyfriend is a chef, and we joke about having our own place, but the money isn't there.

Hey, atleast I could design our logo, menu and advertisements!

I wanted to be a DRP Scheduler / Planner and schedule production in a Foundry.

SCORE!! That's what I'm doing.
