What did you want to be when you grew up?
 

Some kids had this ideal job that they wanted to do when they were older but I never did... I didn't know what I wanted to do at all when I was growing up and even now I've only really decided that I want to pursue a particular type of career because it'll (hopefully) earn me a lot of money and not because I had any ambition to be there in the first place. How about you guys?

A historian

Did you just decide to leave it in the past?

Don't make him repeat himself, Jesus

Well i wanted to be an adult when i grew up
Forty + years later and i'm still not there !:joker::joker::joker::joker:

Still waiting for your two front teeth eh hijaxers? :tongue:

Ariel, Matilda, Mrs David Beckham or a popstar. Teacher also popped up sometimes.

I wanted to be a vet.

So did I when I was about 14, until I was in a meeting at school with teachers, the headmaster and my parents and one of them asked me what I wanted to do when I left school. When I said a Vet they all laughed hysterically.

When I was a young child I was obsessed with dinosaurs for some reason, I knew the names of them all at about 9 years old.

So yea, i'm now in my 30s earning little more than minimum wage doing a job I hate.

Gotta love the real world. :joker:

A pilot (and I would've carried out my dream had it not been for the 100k you need to go through training)

If I ever become a millionaire I will pay for your training. :hugesmile:

A Chef (which I have been), a writer (which I am), and Gameshow host (one day I will be one, lol).

A lawyer :yuk:

Oh, and a lawyer too, thankfully I changed my mind during A-levels on that one.

i wanted to be ammi or a male version at least

I wanted to be an architect.. Until I realised that once I got out of my hell hole of a school I was going to have another 7 bloody years of education... So I went and got a job instead :)

Is that recent thing? BA paid for my brothers training and then once he qualified they took a percenage out of his salary to ay back the training fees so he didn't actually miss it...if you really want to do that you should look into it...

I wanted to be a nurse....until I discovered I was pretty squeamish.

My nephew wanted to be a lollipop man until he was about 11

''off the tele like ant and dec' according to my mum :laugh:

I wanted to work in music and hopefully from September that's what I'll be doing :love:

when I was young I was never ambitious. Now I am in my 50's I do wish I had gone into mental health nursing. I did consider going for it this year but I found it that it will take me 4 years to complete and by that time I'll be in my late 50s so I forgot that idea. Actually when I think about it there are a number of careers I wish I had considered taking up, mental health nursing or occupational therapist, working with animals in some way, graphic designer just to name a couple.

good for you, go for it I say

I always wanted to be a teacher/sports coach and I still do. Although being a psychologist is the other career path that interests me now :)

You could be the next Olly Murs! :amazed: :hugesmile:

I don't know how old you are but if you are young enough I'd go for it. Psychology degree would be really interesting I bet.
