    I wanted to be Rockette- until I figured out that you have to be thin and be able to kick really high. Neither are my strong attributes. So now I am a lawyer.

    One of my good friends in high school wanted to be Rockette---she had all the right attributes and could kick perfectly, but she was only 5'2"...their height requirement is 5'7" I believe :cry:

    I wanted to be an Author, or the first female President. I'm going to school for Creative Writing and German right now. The presidential thing is not very appealing anymore; although I would like to make a difference in people's lives somehow.

    My designs on being a high priced gigolo fell through when, well, I didn't get any clients. :sad:

    I wanted to be a Chef. Well before all the reality craze. Grew up around restaurants and food.

    As a younger kid, a Lawyer. As I got older, I wanted to get into Forensic Science. I am a justice junkie.

    I was set on being a horse trainer - right up until filling out the college application to my school of choice. Thankfully, I had a flash of reality and realized horses are my hobby, not a career.

    as a kid, teen, whatever, I'm sure 95 percent of us did not want to be what we are now.

    What did you want to be? (beyond ballerinas and firefighters)

    I always wanted to be a dentist. Then it turned into being a forensic dentist... I have a weird obsession with teeth.

    No way! I totally wanted to be a dentist too!!! I actually went to school for it, but then changed career paths this year. Might still do that someday.

    I always wanted to (and still would if I had the opportunity) own my own record store.
    It's "the dream" for me

    When I was younger I wanted to be an OB/GYN, surgeon. I wanted to deliver babies.
    When I got older I wanted to be an ARNP/PA for dermatology. (that is still my goal)!! I love skin and helping people look better.
    I am currently working for a GP and love my job, but would love to be my own boss.

    I loved the weather segment on the news - so I always wanted to be a weathergirl... especially after seeing To Die For :glasses:

    I still think today this would be fun...


    or just to be a drunken idiot on MTV... apparently they make some good coin for that.

    A spy. I would wire up the living room to eavesdrop on the adults' conversations. I spent a lot of time learning how to move around silently (it's habit now, and I regularly scare the living daylights out of my husband). Learned how to shoot guns. Studied etiquette. Learned to drive a stick shift (for that hot European sports car I'd have to hightail it in someday).

    Ended up majoring in Accounting.

    Got a job as an auditor.
