    I wanted to be a writer and a counselor, and to work with adolescent girls- I wanted to get married, have a big family with lots of kids.
    I was initially a youth ministry major, but left school when I became pregnant.
    At just shy of 32, I've worked in medical billing and now customer service with retirement plans, which I love. I have a wonderful 10 year old son. Still single, and at this point don't know if more kids are actually in the cards for me. I go to school part time to get my BA in Writing with a minor in Psych and Business, and I am scheduling training to work with the crisis pregnancy center.
    Wasn't what I anticipated, but it still fits a bit.

    a great dad

    Aaaawwww. Love this!

    I could not really want to be anything, had to work what I could to provide for kids. Now, when kids are grown (one still at home for few more years) I am making my plans to own Bed & Breakfast one day. Would love that!

    those are all awesome things to want to be. and major props to those that have done it. When I finally lose all this weight, i'm going to look into becoming a personal trainer. A good way to help me stay on track, and to help others when they're just starting out. Won't charge ridiculous fees either.$175/hr. rubbish. Problem with the cake decorating is that's a big reason i'm here lol. Still love it. this year, i'm going to do some mini cakes for mother's day with some fondant flowers, my baby's tinker bell cake, and a cake for my hubby.

    A professional hunter with a TV show. I figure they dont have to work hard, someone else does all the ground work they just sit and plug some sales gimick about a product and shoot something.

    Originally a neurosurgeon but I think being the lead singer in a rock band would be down right awesome! I can't sing a lick but think it'd be fun rocking out every night!

    I've frequently changed my mind and/or not really known what I want to be, but currently:

    palaeoanthropologist and experimental archaeologist specialising in the middle palaeolithic era

    and a writer who makes a significant amount of money writing (as opposed to just being a writer, which I already am)
