I think everyone has been asked that question when we were nippers.

So what did you want to be and did it work out for you .

I'll tell you when I get there.

Public service worker.

I switched between Fireman, Policeman, Priest and Popstar

Given that I'm a pussy, I don't touch children and I can't sing; I can't see any of those working out for me.

I think now I'd want to do something in Music though, here's hoping

Busman.

I'm still waiting to see if it pans out.

Elderly wanker.

Achievable!

I finally got the job I always wanted as a child.
I even got business cards printed up to prove it.

Mikom, Therapist

Asshole printers forgot to put a space in my profession.

I wanted to be a vet untill i got work experience there one summer and passed out on my first day...

I wanted to be a chef. I fed my grandad turf one day (I was only four!) and he ended up in A&E so I have been banned from all things culinary. Forever.

Gonna chance my arm at making babies in a tube.

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick
When I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for
Cuz you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

Pedro K · 14-12-2009 09:28PM

When I grow up I want to be a fire truck.

And have you achieved this?

Useful.Idiot · 14-12-2009 09:34PM

What I wanted to be progressed as I got slightly older.

At 4-7 years old I wanted to be a Policeman, Fireman or a Binman.

At 7-10 a comedian.

10-13......an alcoholic? Everyone laughed at that one.

Last one is probably the closest to what I am at the moment, unfortunately. No ones laughing anymore.......lol

Ruu_Old · 14-12-2009 09:34PM

Litter patrol, hey it was cool in school!

It didn't work out, I work in a library now.

KTRIC · 14-12-2009 09:35PM

When I decide to grow up (30 now) I want to be a motorbike mechanic.

Varyn · 14-12-2009 09:38PM

I wanted to be a vet..until I got a dog

- the dog didn't put me off, I think I just wanted a pet!! After that I wanted to be...a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, a psychologist, an archaeologist, a teacher...the list goes on and on, changed my mind every month. One worked out, studying psychology now

I also recall wanting to be the pink power ranger for a while :cool:

Supervillian.
Infamous mass murderer.
Con artist.
One of those tough-as-nails Hell's Angels who spends half their life in prison.
Or a politician.
