Default 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?

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.

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...

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.

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

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.
