    So when you were a kid growing up what did you want to become ?

    I dreamed of being a UK Footballer playing for the best team in the world IMO Sheffield Wednesday Ive given up on that now :slight_smile:

    Have you also given up on Sheffield Wednesday being the best team in the world? :roflmao: (only joking)

    I always wanted to be a train driver. I may actually acheive it within the next ten years if my eyesight is good enough. I'm just about to move from the ticket office to a guards job so I'm getting there :slight_smile:

    I wanted to be an artist :slight_smile: I still draw every single day but I'm not pursuing it as a career as I used to want to.

    When i was a kid i wanted to be a Palaeontologist. I blame Jurrasic Park for that, in my childs mind i could have dug up some amber and make myself a pet T-Rex. When i grew up my dream job moved onto being an author, i like to write but i know i'm not good enough to do it professionally. Now its just a little hobby.

    I wanted to be a Doctor before I found out you couldn't just cut people up.. D:

    Now I want to be a pathologist (which IS cutting people up), a research scientist, or something in forensics.

    Sorry Leer that was a low blow but I couldn't resist. I don't really 'do' football, but I do admire people who will follow their team to the bitter end, no matter how mediocre. Unless they happen to be following Aston Villa this season. Those people are fools!

    Wanted to be an artist, but now I'm not sure. A designer perhaps, but then again, I want to be a vet too.

    When I was a kid I dreamt of being an airline pilot coz I love commercial planes and flying in them.

    Then as I grew up I started to get a thing for movies and how they were made. So I wanted to do something in film, maybe as a director etc. I stil have an artisitic flare and still do design work but that's about it.

    I guess I'm too lazy for anything other than a 9-5 job. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Me too!!!!!!! About the paleontologist part! I used t love Jurassic Park and thought it would be so neat to uncover dinosaur bones! And seeing all the dinosaurs too. :eusa_doh:

    I also had dreams of becoming a pop star/artist/actress. Now I'd like to do something that has to do with Social Justice/LGBT issues, I just believe everyone deserves to be treated equally.

    I wanted to be a doctor. My mother turned to me and told me I wasn't ever going to be intelligent enough to be one. Kind of glad that she nipped that one in the bud for me. I don't fancy 3 more years of University.

    Pilot and video game designer. I've gotten my AS degree in game design (woop woop!) and someday I hope to get my pilot's license. Both of these dreams I've had from a very young age. I guess I don't change much. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    A doctor. I was all ready to go to a combined BS-MD program and backed out at the last minute after becoming disillusioned with the control HMOs exert. Now I'm a lawyer. My partner is a doctor and after seeing how frustrated she gets over meddling insurance companies, I think I made the right decision.

    For some strange reason I wanted to be a nun, a dream that lasted until my mid teens. I mean, ignoring the fact my behaviour was anything but appropriate for a wannabe nun I'm pretty sure the only reason I wanted to be one from such a young age related to the fact I idolised one of the ladies from the local Poor Clares. She was lovely.

    I've always wanted to be an artist. For a short while I wanted to do gymnastics and at some point in my childhood I dreamt of being a singer.
