    Professional ice skater a la Dorothy Hamill. (Yeah I'm old LOL). When I realized that I started to late, I was willing to settle for skating as a hamburger in the Ice Capades. (I think McDonald's was featured on the ice that year) I did neither, but I do skate from time to time.

    A rockstar. A child psychiatrist. A biochemist living in the rainforests making medicine out of plants. Got the degree and realized that was completely not realistic. Lol

    In kindergarten I wanted to own an ice cream truck.

    In middle school I wanted to be a teacher, because I thought writing on the chalkboard was tons of fun.

    In high school I wanted to do something with psychology...

    Through an odd series of decisions and events I'm now a teacher, but I curse the classrooms without whiteboards because chalk is so messy!

    I wanted to be a Veterinarian

    Im a law student... LOL

    Snap! (Almost) I was desperate to be a doctor for a very long time, and am now a law student. Although I'm on the Medico Legal association committee so I get to spend a lot of time researching medical dilemmas.

    I wanted to be an accountant, then a lawyer! Started studying Law at University but didn't enjoy it, so swapped to languages, then did an MA in Translation. Now I'm a secondary school French teacher :smile:

    I love my job, and it's the perfect job now as I have kids of my own.

    When I was a child I remember seeing a commercial of a woman riding a quad through a cut block...I said "That's what I want to do". Today I am a Forest Officer :o).

    At 3 a dallerina (couldn't pronounce my B's)
    By 9 I wanted to be an important business woman that travelled the world

    I still want to travel but it's being delayed until my daughter is raised.
    I work in an office, but I'm not important haha

    At 26 I would like to own my own business someday because I hate having a boss
