    When I was really little, I wanted to be a Tupperware lady like my mom. Then,a teacher, and an astronaut. I was considering Marine Biology as a major when I was in high school, but nixed the idea when I found out I had to take organic chemistry. My goal is to one day be a trophy wife. I'm just waiting on my software developer husband to come out with the next big thing that Google will want to pay him billions of dollars for. LOL!

    I wanted to be a mortician (they like to be called funeral directors now) when i was a kid... freaked the parents out when i was little...

    but once i had kids i figured that i wouldn't be able to work on children "clients".... so now i'm a corporate zombie.

    I wanted to be an Army field doctor or a teacher.

    Discovered that I was really squeamish and have ended up teaching maths, though have come at it via Engineering, Customs Officer and Accountant.

    Now I'd quite like to be a full time Mum if I ever grow up!

    I wanted to be a lot of things:

    Actress, dancer, lawyer, astronaut, archaeologist (in college), writer.

    I ended up a writer, though the writing I currently do for money is not the kind of writing I want to be doing. I'm working on that.

    I, like Fear, want to be a mortician, but there are no schools close to me, and you cannot even get your foot in the door without going to school for it first..... just think its fascinating....

    Other than that, a writer...
