    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...

    I wanted to be a teacher too...up until I did some student teaching and hated it! I wish I had the courage to admit it to myself sooner instead of being stuck with an English degree I can't use. Oh well, life is full of those kind of "lessons."

    I always wanted to be a hair stylist, which I was for about 6 years in a salon. Now I just do fmaily and firends hair. My hands got to be really terrible because of the contant hair washing and chemicals.

    Then inspired by the people who work with my son (he has autism) I have worked as a para (teacher's assitant) in a classroom with kiddos with special needs. It can be hard and a long day but I love it. :love:

    I wanted to be a speech therapist for years. Then I got the chance to try it out... the fact that I just wanted to ignore the kids and go play the piano in the room next door made me realise that I couldn't do something that didn't involve music. Now I want to be an opera singer!
