    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)

    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.

    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. :/

    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

    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!

    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. :D

    My sister wanted to be either a giraffe or an elephant as a child. I was unable to determine the type of employment I would have liked. Even as I head towards my Leaving Cert a few months away Im still not receiving any inspiration :(
