    When I was younger I wanted to be a Police officer to save the day and also beat all the traffic by turning the sirens on!! :icon_bigg

    What about you?

    A writer. When I grew up a little bit more, I wanted to become a librarian.

    A telepath/empath. I wanted to read people's minds/feelings. I'm gonna become a psychologist instead. Close enough I guess.

    Paleontologist up until I was 11 years old, then got my first computer and wanted to be a programmer. Now I'm working on becoming a neuroscientist :love: so I don't code much anymore (if at all), mostly Python/R (don't like SPSS to be honest).

    I wanted to be a Nurse, it would fit my temperament perfectly, but the job is a bit too physical for me when it came down to really thinking about suitability.

    I wanted to be an astronomer. Space just fascinated me. It still does to this day, but I can't see myself working with anything related to it.

    Archiologist, I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was a kid and seeing Indiana jones at a young age didn't help either

    You will laugh at this. I kid you not. You will laugh at this.

    I wanted to work on a toll bridge, because I thought that toll bridge workers got to keep all the money that drivers gave them. My naive childish brain thought that it would be a great way to make lots of money, and chat to people too.

    First, I loved trains and wanted to be a driver, before realising quite how bad that job would be. That was when I was about three. After that, I wanted to be a doctor.

    Only this year, I realised that sciences are not my greatest love in life, and now I want to study law and see where that takes me. I'm still growing up, so I take it I can still use current ambitions?

    First, a ballerina. Then, a doctor. Then an artist. Then an author. Then a doctor, again.

    And now, I have absolutely no clue what I want to be, other than happy.

    Doctor.

    When I watched Land Before Time and the mommy dinosaur died I got upset and my mom explained she was going to die one day too, and I started bawling. So I decided I was going to be a doctor so I could help my mom live forever.
