What did you want to be when you grew up?
What do you do now?
What career would you do if you could do anything right now?
I wanted to be a mommy and a teacher. (I am a mom of the 3 most awesome kids in the world.) Teacher . . . not an accredited school teacher, but I have taught large crowds of people and taught workshops at conferences. I currently work for a non profit organization as the Director of Resource Administration. If I could do anything in the world, I really can't think of anything that I would want to be or do. I love my job and what I'm doing now!

When I was about 6 I wanted to be an author...then at 10 it switched to fashion designer...at 12 it was lawyer, and somewhere in the back of my mind the whole time i wanted to be a musician.
Now im a college student and i have no effing clue what i want to do only that it should involve something interacting with people and something useful to others or the world; the musician thing is still lodged in the back of my mind somewhere though^^ some things never change.0 -

When I was REALLY young, I wanted to be a singer or an actress, but then I realized I'm a really bad singer, and that I don't care for people to know that I'm a good actress
Then, when I was about 12, I learned a bit about HTML and CSS. I started making websites for fun. Now, here I am about to turn 25 and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Media Design, and I make websites for a living 0 -

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 0 -
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.
