I think I wanted to be a train driver. How original and sterotypical was that. Anyway one of my mates is a train driver and judging by his wages, I still want to be a train driver. ;-)

Me too.

I used to imagine I was a US Navy fighter pilot shooting down Jap Zeros over the Pacific, I cycled around imagining my bicycle was a Grumman Hellcat making machine gun and "Take that Tojo!" noises. A right div kid :rolleyes:

If it wasn't for my short sightedness and vertigo...

simu

Have a shop, be a scientist, be an astronaut

Skellington

i wanted to be (and still do) a sheriff... with a gun and a hat and the ability to shoot bad guys...

one day... one day...

LoneGunM@n

I wanted to drive trucks for Duffy Express Freight ... I used to spend my Friday & Sunday evening travelling to & from Donegal respectively

I also wanted to be a Bus Driver for Boyce's Buses ... see above for explanation why!

gogo

I wanted to be an archeologist

joejoem

I wanted to be a vet or a rock star. Didnt have the brains to be a vet but doing my best to be a rock star.

darragh o meara

I wanted to be a serial killer but The thought of soap on a rope didnt appeal to me somehow....

Kersh

But then I was told I had to be a US citizen. At 7 I assumed the door had shut. So then I wanted to be a commercial pilot (when I was 12), but I was told I needed 20/20 vision.....and I didnt have it.
Turns out I dont think a pilot needs 20/20 vision anyway. Racing cars now.....in around some engineering... :rolleyes:

rainbow kirby

I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger. But I hate the sight of blood! I think I was more decisive when I was 12 about what I want to do with my life than what I am now...

Peteee

sent off to the RAF and everything

eyesight, or rather my lack of it

so now im doing the second best thing, comp sys degree in UL!

Sarky

Scientist.

Of course, now I have a science degree I find out that there are no bloody jobs going. Typical. Don't have dreams, kids, they'll just get crushed mercilessly.

Cathy

I wanted to be an astronaut... and still do

CathyMoran

I wanted to be an astronaut too Failing that, I wanted to be a college lecturer - still working on the later...give me another 5 years...

StupidLikeAFox

Maybe its a ''Cathy'' thing?

I dunno what i wanted to be, still dont actually, dont really plan on growing up for a while

TCamen

I think the first thing I wanted to be was a Chef when I was about 10 or so, having to do the washing up afterwards, I just knew it wasn't for me

I was really into the whole space thing for a while in my teens aswell, but @ 16 I decided I was gonna be a journalist, but writing about real life depressing stuff is too 'real' so now I wanna work in TV production and write made-up stuff :cool:

The Sweeper

I wanted to own a shop. Then I wanted to be a Vet. After that I wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter. Then I decided I just wanted a Blue Peter presenter's lifestyle. Haven't looked back since.

ixoy

I wanted to be a writer. I kinda still do... Technical writer, which I've become, isn't the same thing...

koneko

first a vet
then a marine biologist
then a (forensic) pathologist
then a psychologist

I am... sad to say... none of the above for a living (though I am a pathologist in my spare time)

Gilgamesh

I wanted to be Lion O from the Thundercats, AAAHHHHHH
when I was younger I broke my wrist and I got my granddad to paint it like the glove he had.

then when puberty struck, I wanted to be a photographer for Playboy, ah, those were the days where dreams meant everything to me.

Imposter

I wanted to be an adult. Now I want to be a child again!

SantaHoe

A generic low-paid office junior with no room for advancement.
Mih, most people get this out of their system when they're like 7... I'm still thinking about it.

successful.

although according to my sister - " a stripper in a gogo club" - she used to make me repeat it over and over again, I think it was a song at the time- beatch

Haruspex

A private investigator à la Magnum P.I.

The Ferrari, the women, the moustache! :eek:

dudara

I wanted to be Wonder Woman. After I kind of grew out of that I wanted to be an archaeologist (?), then I didn't know what to do for ages. Now I'm a physicist. Go Figure!

DannyAu-Yeung

Wanted to be loads of stuff from policeman to footballer.
Think at a young age I'd thought about becoming an architect as well, which what I hope to become in 6-7years time.

I was a very sensible child. I wanted to be a lawyer.

And here I am studying for my law degree

Wonder Woman is cooler altogether!
