What did you want to be when you were growing up?

A naval officer, alas my eyesight and a bad back made sure that couldn't happen :rolleyes:

I daydream sometimes what my life would of been like if I were in the navy.

Shop keeper, I had high ambitions. My logic was that I could eat all the sweets and ice cream I wanted because it was my shop.

Software engineer now, but I work in 2 shops as a teenager and college. It was great craic, if only it paid well.

You obviously like dogs and still do?

You get to know which dogs want to eat you and which ones are ok. You also get to know which houses have dogs that wait inside the letter box and would snap your fingers off if you put them inside.

So yeah, I love dogs.

And ducks... there is one garden with a pond in it and there are 5 or so ducks that wander around.

An army man

This is my favourite post. It reminds me of one of either my sons, or my brothers, when they were very small. Using child logic, probably a natural progression of words - police man, fire man ...., army man.

When I was about in Primary School I wanted to be an interior designer, my Dad used to bring me interior design books and we'd do fun craft-y things on Saturday mornings it was so fun.

Then in my teenage years wanted to be a Journalist, and went to far as to do English in University but then fell into Tourism and Hospitality and that's where I am now.

I always told my parents I'd make money from talking ****e somehow

A vet! Even picked chemistry as a leaving cert subject but quickly realised I was awful at it and would never pass, so I switched to another subject.

To be honest if it wasn't for being totally brain dead when it comes to science subjects, I would probably jack in this lawyer thing and go and do it, even vet nursing I'd love. Ah well.

I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I used to charge round the garden pretending to be a dinosaur, roar.
Until one day my dad said time to grow up and get a ******* job, so I did.
I tried to get it back when I was older but I couldn't do it, it was gone.

I guess what I'm saying is, don't lose your dinosaur

This just made me remember, I really wanted to be a showjumper. I'd lay out courses in the garden and jump them. Puissance walls, triple bars, combinations, you name it. The whinnying and neighing that would go on!

I didn't actually have a horse, mind

(And the fences were usually just bits of timber or wavin and the odd spare block or big stone.)
