    As a young child all I wanted to be was a marine biologist!

    ...and an Animorph, or a mutant (X-men).

    You?

    I wanted to be a chemist from from about five to twelve, and then I took an interest in electronics. From then on, I wanted to be an electrical engineer, which is what I'm majoring in now. :slight_smile:

    I guess I never had any of the typical fantasies like superhero, astronaut, firefighter, etc. Lol.

    I'm pretty sure I wanted to be a Doctor. Then, I wanted to be a bus driver (that's not totally random.) This was like, first grade. Then, I wanted to be a judge.

    Now, I'm in Nursing. Sooooo........I kind of had an idea. lol.

    I wanted to be a police officer. Then when I was told it was too dangerous a job, I switched to a firefighter...

    Now I want to be an author and/or a vet.

    Nearly everyone wants to be an astronaut. You can't beat space. *le sigh*

    However, as a very young kid, I wanted to be a pilot, and a little later, video game designer. The second has mostly come true (no job making games, but I have an AS degree for just that) and I have gotten to fly a plane on two occasions through a special program for kids at the local airfield. I don't know about anybody else, but sitting in the cockpit of a small plane and looking down at the world is just pure heaven for me. I'll do it again someday. :grin:

    Nothing. I just put that there because I couldn't find an emoticon to agree with you. That was one of the things I wanted.
