    Just thinking of all the things I wanted to be when I was young.
    Policeman.
    Rubbish Man.
    Army Man (SAS) or Irish equilivant.
    Captain of a big ship.
    Cowboy.
    International Footballer winning 4 world cups.
    Rock Star (with attitude)
    Jesus.

    I have never become any of these.

    Have you realised your dream.

    I want to be a tree and know what a tracker mortgage is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I wouldn't mind being a millionaire. In fact I think I'd enjoy it.

    Failing that I think it would be very cool to be a ninja :cool:

    wanted to be a bus driver when I was younger. Was on the 27 yesterday with a black man driving and watched as some skag threatened to kick the head of him.

    Also wanted to be a vet, and a plasterer.

    Varied really.

    I've always wanted to be a Gordon Gecko or Nicholas Van Orton.

    When I was a kid, I wanted to be a mammy when I grew up! Then a few years later, decided I wanted to be a doctor, and yeah, that is still the plan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, a footballer, a musician.

    Depends on what I watch watching on tv or the music I was listening to that week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    I'm more or less doing now, what I've wanted to do since I was 11.

    Before that I wanted to be the usual,
    Action hero, pirate, space ninja, fireman, Mech Pilot, who solves mysteries with a talking dog in his spare time..

    I'm only about half of these things now..
    *Sigh*
    Growing up really does rob you of your ambitions.

    Ever since I was 8 and I was the only one who could program the VCR I wanted to do something technical, didn't know what though. Now I'm in IT, so I guess it all worked out.

    AH answer:

    When I grow up
    I wanna see the world
    Drive nice cars
    I wanna have boobies (.)(.)

    When i was young i wanted to be a paleontologist. I was fascinated by dinosaurs growing up. I had loads of dinosaur toys, books etc. I collected the Dinosaur magazines religiously and read them constantly. I used to know all the different types of dinosaurs but over the years i've forgotten a good few of them.

    However when i got into my teenage years i lost interest in dinosaurs and paleontology just does'nt have the same appeal anymore.

    I wanted to be many things mainly practical jobs which was weird considering I was very young when I would have liked one of these occupations:
    a teacher
    nurse
    doctor
    interior designer
    chef
    artist
    a secretary

    never became any of them! went the business and IT route instead!:)

    I never thought I'd survive to adulthood.

    But, as a teen I wanted to be a singer or a games programmer.

    Turns out that I can't sing, and my programming code has more bugs than the Amazon rainforest. Hey, perhaps I can work for Microsoft....
