    Wanted to be a Pro Soccer player. Played for Longford Town youth teams for a few years but never continued it. Or either become a Garda. That's unlikely to happen considering i rarely attend school and i'm unlikely to do any good in my LC :( .

    It's a tough life !.

    I wanted to be a strange hybrid of an ambulance driver, musician, fireman and theoretical physicist.
    Went off on a completely different tangent alltogether, but Im sure it will be just as fun! :D

    when i was in 1standard i wanted to be one of the big fellas who i had to ask to open me bottle at lunch time. I achieved that. All i always wanted to be was a biker. Go me . Must get a job at some stage also.

    Well seeing as the Oscar-winning vet schtick didn't come to fruition, I've now decided that I want to be Karen from Will & Grace when I grow up.


    I'm 27

    I wanted to be a nun, why I don't know!!

    But now I'm a nurse and haven't been to church in about ten years and don't believe in all that God crap!!

    Fire Engine

    Thought I was the only one.

    Close enough, fireman.
    Dad's one. Granddad was one. Link goes back even further. Went to the pub once with Dad and a few of the lads from the station and said "fck this, I'll be a teacher and the little brother can carry the torch"- not doing that.

    I wanted to be a jockey, inspired by National Velvet, then someone told me being a jockey wasn't a job (ie you didn't get paid), but merely a hobby people partook of and I'd better think again and get a proper job.

    Turns out jockeys do damn well get paid :mad:

    I wanted to be a vet but quickly turned off the idea in 1st year after a 19% Science exam result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,163 ✭✭✭hobochris


    I wanted to be a fighter pilot / a soldier.

    I got into taking things apart when i was younger to see how they worked and I'm now a software developer(now I'd love to either get into the games industry or forensic computing i.e. working with online crime units ).

    If nobody has said Kylie Minogue's tampon yet, I bags it.

    I wanted to be kightrider. I still do, I've tried locking posh speaking English men in my boot but it's not the same. They just scream for help instead of coming up with witty remarks and turning on booster rockets.
