    I want to travel and hang out with my wealthy posse of art students.
    Not really but I wish. I'm thinking of going to medical school. Maybe for emergency pediatric care.

    When I was a child I wanted to be an architect, but that was in the days that girls didnt do engineering or architecture or anything remotely interesting.

    Now I'm an adult, but sometimes I dont feel I have ever grown up LOL

    That's kind of interesting. What do you like most about it? What do you like least?

    I wanted to be a fireman, unfortunately my fear of ladders and fire put paid to that! (I'm not even joking!)

    I wanted to be like David Attenborough.

    I got as far as studying biology and plant chemistry, then sadly entered the soul sucking world of real work.

    I did try!

    Pretty much the same thing... I've always wanted to dance. I didn't want to "be a dancer" - but I wanted to dance. I did acting, but I can't sing. Choreography is also my #1 passion in life, & probably always will be.

    I always wanted to do big things & create though. So far I've done lots of smaller creative things, & since I believe life is about constantly growing, I just have to keep doing what I'm doing & make bigger steps in the path of life. :smile:

    I wanted to be an archeologist. I don't really know why. Or a writer, or a librarian. I guess I was a pretty nerdy kid (:

    I like the science of preservation the most......... I like working with the living the least. The dead are pretty easy-going but boy the living are hard to work with. :ohwell: I am just looking to be a trade embalmer, I have zero interest in funeral directing. I'm not patient enough.

    Astronaut. I even joined the Navy in hopes of becoming an aviator to increase my chances of getting into the NASA program. Still want to go into space, but I just have to hope that technology advances far enough before I did to where I can take a civilian space flight.

    Secretary. Now I am a webform developer. I love my pay, but if I could I want to work in a diner as a waitress. Unsure why that appeals to me.

    I wanted my own bakery, and I really wanted to have children. So now I bake with my kids and I'm happy.
    I also wanted to be a novelist, or a teacher.
