What did you want to be when you grew up?

NJFemmie · 04-06-2010, 07:45 AM

As a kid, I wanted to be an attorney or in the military (Coast Guard preferably). At one point in my life, I ended up working for a law firm that facilitated Coast Guard regulations and decided I was glad I didn't actually become a lawyer. (Let's not discuss ethics, m'kay?)

There are times I wish I went into the USCG though - I'd be retired by now

I wanted to be a classical pianist, but after already having years of piano in my life I wasn't having much fun. So I decided I should be a painterbecause oils always made me a happy girl. As a Professional Makeup Artist I stuck with the plan, just chose a different canvas.

I wanted to be a pilot and an astronaut and held on to those until my sophmore year of college when I decided that aerospace engineering really wasn't for me.
I got duped into taking a journalism weed-out course because I was sure I could then take a photography class next (hah!). The rest is history.

WOW
We have so many who want to be or wanted to be a pilot that it's too bad we can't have our very own BFP Air Show!!

I can say being a pilot will always be my dream!! And I can't wait to make it happen!! Just need the extra $$$ for classes, etc.

A mommy... but that never happened....sigh

Ms. Tabitha · 04-08-2010, 02:22 PM

I always wanted to do what my Grandfather and Uncles did.......SO I did became:
A Medic/Firefighter, A Crital Care Trauma Tech in the ER, a flight medic and Air Medical Communications Medic and also a 911 Communications Officer and Training officer.

I always wanted to do what my Grandmother and my Aunts did... SO I became:
A Wife and Mother .. THAT is my most rewarding job of all!!!

I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I used to collect all the stray and injured animals in my neighborhood....or I did until my mom threw a fit (she is severely allergic to cats...and my hiding stray cats in the basement did NOT go over well. lol)

When I was a baby femme I wanted to be a Rockette that was my career goal until I quite growing at the age of 12. I was seriously depressed that I only grew to a height of 5'5"; because back then in order to be a Rockette you had to be at least 5'8".

Then I wanted to be a Go Go dancer and well that is another story all in itself as to why that never happened.

In elementary school I wanted to be a auto mechanic and/or a race car driver.

I don't think I thought about it again until I went to college and HAD to think about it!

But, I would venture to say that I have thought the most about "what I want to be when I grow up" SINCE I have been working in my chosen field...

So no one else wanted to be a vampire?

Eh, the powers were cool, but I hate the taste of blood (or maybe it's just the metallicy iron) and I love being warm and toasty, which is hard to do when you are effectively dead.

I wanted to be the Vampire's girlfriend.

I also wanted to be a ballet dancer.

I never dreamed I'd be restraining people for a living!

... I wanted to be Superman because I thought Lois Lane was sexy.

JustLovelyJenn · 05-06-2010, 12:54 AM

Well, when I was a kid.... I wanted to be a famous singer. Then when I got to high school and really had to think about it.... I decided I wanted to teaching singing, be a high school choir teacher. Now... as much as I love singing, teaching, and all of that... I have decided I also love working with children with disabilities... Now, I want to be a high school special education teacher.
