What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a Paleontologist. Then I could dig up and find all those cool dinosaur bones. Either that or an art teacher - Neithert happened. Instead I'm digging up fossilized plant matter... doesn't sound to interesting, but really, it is... if you're strange like me... :lol:

A Queen. My plan was to marry the prince of England.

Failing that, I wanted to be a writer, which I still want to be, only in addition to novels I want to write scholarly works.

I wanted to be one of those rich, stuck-up single women who smooshed men under their shoes....The job itself wasn't important. I just wanted to wear a black skirt, black glossy high heal shoes, my hair in a bun and glasses, and look snooty. :D

My mom always told me that I used to say that I wanted to be a garbage man. Maybe that's why I'm so freakin messy. :smileroll

I always remember wanting to be a dancer.

I think at that point I had it narrowed down to the following:

a teacher at the Arkansas School for the Deaf
Daisy Duke
a Vegas showgirl
a ballerina

hmmmm.....one of these things is not like the others...

I wanted to be a vet, so I could work on animals.

Then at some point I remembered that I can't even watch surgery footage without cringing violently and covering my eyes. :foh:

As long as I can remember, I've wanted to be either a doctor or an artist. It could've gone either way right up till high school when I realized I wasn't preppy and stuck up and rich enough to make it in med school. Plus I really love having people OOooh and AAaah over my work, so now I'm going to school to be an interior designer!

My life's dream, from as long as I can remember, was to be a veterinarian.

And then, in college, I took General Chemistry I, with Dr. Glazer, supreme buttmunch. He was a crotchety old man who didn't want to be teaching us, yelled at us any time we tried to give an answer, and was so unpleasant that I just stopped attending class (because attendence wasn't required for his class anyway).

And now look at me: an editor-turned-secretary.

Yippee skippee.

Lessee, that was the year Reagan was shot, and my mom had my little brother...they skipped me over from 2d to 3d (I was in a combination class, so it wasn't such a chore, lol). I think I wanted to be an actress...wanted to be one of those all throughout childhood, so I that's probably a goodish guess. Course I was in school plays all throughout elementary school, so that could be why...

lol when I was really little I wanted to be a horse... and my brother wanted to be an ambulance. :hehehehe:

In grade 2... hmm... I can't remember much. I think I might have wanted to be a teacher or an artist. I honestly can not remember though. I think that was the year I hit my head many times... :(

I wanted to be a paleotologist(sp?) and/or a writer. Now I want to be an archaeologist/study dead languages/study different religions.

At that time I either wanted to be an actor, cartoonist, farmer, or a teacher...I'm actually going to school for the teacher one.

Keroberos
August 27th, 2004, 06:43 PM
oooh, what a fun thread. well a paleantologist,a cryptozoologist or a vet. Then I realized that being a vet would require me to look at blood. So I decided to make movies, and now I'm an animation major who wants to also get degrees in fashion, linguistics, and maybe massage therapy, and yes I know all those things have nothing to do with each other. My ologist dreams died when I realized that I just didn't have the attention span for digging up things or studying things that werent there.

In second grade, I had moved on from my dream of railroad engineer to veterinarian, which I think alot of kids want to be. I would still love to do it, but wouldn't be able to euthanize the animals.

Ya know, I don't think there was ever one specific thing that I wanted to be when I was little like that. Maybe a nurse or a ballerina. I know I always wanted to be a mommy and I did just that!

I wanted to be a vet. I am currently working on my pre-vet degree in either biology or zoology (I know, I should decide. At least the two degrees are really similar and require many of the same courses so I am still on the right track).
