    I wanted to be a princess or a cop. Now i'm grown and i'm neither. I'm a Queen ( only of my house LOL) and a 911 telecommunicator. Now i get to tell the cops where to go! I think things turned out ok. lol

    I've always wanted to be some type of detective or investigator, as far back as I can imagine.
    I was in sales for a while, now I'm working on becoming a lawyer. I'm hoping maybe my real job after I pass the bar will involve some investigation at least.

    i wanted to be a unicorn or a janitor (so i would have all the keys to the school).

    i'm now an investment banker which is pretty similar to a unicorn i think.

    i like my job but am considering getting another degree in physics as a hobby. so i guess something in that field if i had to pick something else. maybe one of the engineers that 'drive' the mars rover :).

    A unicorn? HAHA So funny.

    An astronaut. Or an Explorer/ Adventurer. As I "grew up" I wanted to become a novelist. I became an errant scientist. Juries still out on the Explorer and novelist part.

    When I was young, I couldn't decide between ballerina or heart surgeon.

    Now, I do billing at an independent medical laboratory.

    I WILL be a published author someday!!! :bigsmile:

    Growing up I had no real goals but, I did want to be a fashion designer or a female drummer in an 80s hair band...never learned to play drums.

    I grew up and worked in factories and at one time had my CNA, so I tell my daughter to get a good education so you can be what you really want to be and maybe own your own bussiness.

    I wish I would of been given some motivation as a kid. I should of been a physical therapist.

    Now I am a SAHM and wife, still with no goals. :(

    As a kid I was told by my mom to be an opera singer, by my teachers to be a doctor, and I just wanted to be an artist.

    Now I'm a mother with my own baking business (sugarmama's) and I will start tattooing full time within the next year.

    I wouldn't change a thing. Although I would like to study neurosurgery.

    wouldn't it be nice if one site on the internet was exactly a site about what it's suppose to be about, not just SEX, this if about food, excercise, how to reach your goal.....NOT what do you want to be when you grow up, who cares !!!! I doubt one person can really answer that question truthly, your goals change every single day......let's just try to support each other with losing weight....
