What Did You Want To Be?

I wanted to be a Lego designer and now I'm an engineer.

when i was in grade school i wanted to be a goalie in the NHL...then i found out only men could play hockey at that level. Then i wanted to be a writer.

Now i am a historian, which in many ways means i am a writer.

The Lightning had a female goalie once! Though not sure if she ever got out of training camp. Can't remember anymore.

When I was little I wanted to be a pilot. I am a mechanic/welder for a helicopter company today. I went through pilot school long enough to get my private license and came to the conclusion that I really like flying the aircraft but everything else wasn't for me- the constant anal retentive nature of being a pilot sucked all the fun out of it. Now I get to be near and have a part in what I love without feeling like I want to kill someone at the end of the day.

Then: An Artist (drawing, painting, fine arts)

Now: I work at a sign shop doing the occasional graphic design but pretty much get roped into doing stuff no one else likes to do like vinyl installation/removal.

DrowningMermaid

I wanted to be a ballerina, then a fireman (yes, I was that specific), a marine biologist, and photographer.

I am currently an out-of-work photographer, creative genius, housewife and mother, as well as a data entry technician.

I wanted to be an engineer and make all kinds of new electronic Gadgets. When I was in 8th grade they came to my school and showed us Cell phones and pagers to be. I went on to work in the electronics field but just as a technician not an Engineer. Oh-well since then I have switched over to the business field. I totally like what I do now way better but I live in the country and am not on the cutting edge of technology.

I remember as a really young kid I always wanted to be "a lady" (dress up in girly costumes with face paint make-up and strut around the house)

Today: I'm a real lady! Well, most of the time. Professionally I am an animator, so... If you consider making cartoons all day "ladylike", then I have succeeded!

Significant other is PMSing, so I kicked him out.

When I was younger my dream job was to be a meteorologist. I've never pursued that dream because they don't have any programs here in Idaho otherwise I would be doing it now. (I would go out of state but its impossible money wise )

My other dream job was to become a pharmacist but for some reason I've never gone forward with that either. I tried being a pharmacy tech and it was just a drag, lol.

Currently I'm somehow completing a degree in accounting and find it enjoyable. Not in the ecstatic hobby sense but I would definitely be happy in this field. I really want to go into management and I also find human resources very interesting.

I currently work basically doing admin assistant work for a small office. I looooooooooove it as I am learning how to schedule employees, file paperwork, lead people, and also get to work around all the fun office supplies LOL.
