    I changed my mind several times, but always knew I wanted a life of adventure and to travel the world. Seems to be working out pretty well so far. :smile:

    Wanted to be a comedy sketch writer for SNL or a music or political journalist.

    I am currently disabled and do not work. I did work as a writer before becoming disabled.

    My dream is to become a published author in the future.

    I wanted to be an author, a private detective and an Avenger!

    Right now I'm (still) a student, part time graphic and web designer, aspiring writer and still hoping for S.H.I.E.L.D to realise there's a great void in their super hero team that can only be filled by me <.<

    I wanted to be famous, either for acting singing or both!

    Family split and I lost all my confidence (it's fine I was overly confident at 13 anyway ¬_¬

    Now? I'd love to be a photographer for the National Geographic (animals rather than people).

    I just got a job yesterday working as a photo lab assistant.

    That'd be the most awesome job. My grandfather's brother was a photographer for National Geographic. His name was John Johns. No kidding.

    When I was little I wanted to be an archaeologist....
    Currently I do loss prevention. I really hate it. Its terribly boring.
    If I could be anything, It would be a doctor. I am very fascinated with the medical industry.

    A veterinary nurse. The only thing that stopped me was I was afraid of having to put animals to sleep, and seeing animals in a lot of pain

    So instead I volunteer for the shelter and I foster sick kittens and nurse them back to health :) I still think about doing a vet course but just don't know where I'd fit it in around my job


    Now I work in accounts for a music company. I pay the bills and chase the money. Definitely not where I wanted to end up.

    If I won the lotto I'd give up work and volunteer full time at the shelter, that would be my dream job :)

    I wanted to be tall and have blue eyes. Every day as a kid I measured myself to see how much taller I'd gotten.

    I stopped growing when I was 11. I grew up to be short with brown eyes. I'm happy with that! :smile:

    Baseball player. I could throw, catch, and run the bases pretty good, but couldn't hit a curveball.

    When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian.

    I currently work in the accounting dept. of a credit union.

    But if I could be anything right now, I would be Heidi Klum.

    At 51 I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. :bigsmile:

    haha, that is a line from Goodfellas.

    I actually did want to be a dirty cop when I grew up... however I'm a facilities manager.

    A lawyer.

    I am a lawyer.

    I let my 8 year old self make that decision.

    I wish I could go back and smack her.
