I'm sure many people out there thought they knew what they wanted to be when they were younger...then by their 10th birthday thought 'wait..they haven't perfected time travelling yet...'.
Did you want to be a penguin? or did you have a realistic idea? If yes..what was it?
For me,it was to be a pole dancer.I'd still like to be one but I don't think I will pursue
that career.

I wanted the world to stop using money so that people would stop fighting over who had more of the loot. I don't know what that would be called ...-
that's a good dream. I think that would be called a comunist.
-
hahahah, I hope that's not a communist! All they did was gather all the loot and decide that a few people can manage the money for everyone else.
-
I thought communists believed that everyone should own the same amount of stuff...same amount of land etc?
-
same amount of stuff- yes, that no one really owned anything privately but that everyone shared everything as a community.
but that's not how it turned out, right? in the end, all the commies did was stash the money in the hands of a few and managed economies (very poorly).
they never wanted to get rid of money, just private ownership -
Oh wow. I did not even know that. Guess you learn something new everyday eh?
SO then you wanted to be the original-communist?

I got to play lawyer in my aunts divorce(seriously her atty. Wanted to hire me for research cases) it was fun to seeing my aunts ex wiggle on the stand. I found every single lie in his paper work.
I also played,plumber,dry wall hanger,electrician(not gonna mess w/electricity anymore. It hurts being shocked.)dancer,actor...-
That sounds really full-filling!

A professional footballer...well at the time it was every boy's dream.
But after seeing how these modern day footballers behave with their pampered celebrity image, mercenary tendencies and without two brain cells to rub together I think I'll leave it to my baby J to fulfill that dream...just as long as he plays for Liverpool -
i wanted to be a football manager in the england,but.... that never worked out, sadly. now i just manage my team on championship manager

-
-
i wanted to become a train driver good that i did not. -
Pro Baseball Player -
i wanted to be kevin from "the wonder years" (no joke - at the age of three i would only answer if my mom called me "kevin")
after that i wanted to be peter pan. apparently i was having a gender identity crisis as a small child...-
I identify with this concept because apparently at about 3 I'd wanted to be any member of the Waltons. Mom said I told perfect strangers my name was MaryEllen, Erin and... yes... John Boy. -
haha my mom jokes about it now, but i wonder if our moms were a little bit scared at the time...
by age 5 or so i'd grown out of it and wanted to be a ballerina... too bad i'm the most uncoordinated person on the planet... -
Yes, I went through that ballerina phase.
Like you I learned putting on a tutu does not a ballerina make. -
that is so cute! haha
-
hehe Lauren

I wanted to be a teacher, lawyer, social worker, writer, stewardess and write Rick Springfield's biography. The stewardess thing didn't pan out.-
so you achieved all of it??
-
Well, except the stewardess thing. I've done all the rest, and also been blessed with exactly the child I imagined as a teenager. I've been very fortunate.

The next plane trip, when the flight attendant isn't looking, serve some passengers a few drinks

-
A free spirit-someone living outside society's expectations and rules.-
I take it NP that you're now married with kids, hence your ambition to be young, free and single being totally dashed.
I understand that all too well, my friend..."I'm coming now, dear!" -
If you only knew, human being, if you only knew!

-
I wanted to be a video game programmer. Then I realized it was just a whole bunch of math equations, and yeah, that was pretty much the end of that. -
Let's see, I wanted to be a superhero (still want to hehe), play in a cartoon, a veterinarian and a business lady.
I wanted to wear a two piece suit. Three years ago, I got an opportunity to work in a company and to dress like that...then I realized I didn't really want it anymore.-
TJ-you can still wear a bikini. That's the best two piece suit.
-
hahaha yes that's true.
Now I have to do a sunny dance...cause it's raining here. If only I had superpowers... -
In your bikini you probably do.
-
I think you mean super villain. Since you are absolutely evil
-
DB!! Not every one knows that :|. I can't reveal my secret...
-
The world needs to be warned!
-
You are interrupting my master plan...again.
-
-
Np....I think I like ur's better than mine
-
I meant free spirit.... I would LOVE not to be Controled
-
heaven on earth
-
-
Of course I had my ballerina phase. I also wanted to be an astronaut at one point. A pediatrician. Be the first scientist to clone a human being and win the Nobel prize. No, I don't want to clone humans anymore, just bacteria.-
I never had a ballerina phase ...

Butt Augmentation Specialist.

When I was young I wanted to be a police officer, then as I got older I realized how dangerous that profession was.
Not that I'm saying police officers are ridiculous!-
Even though they are..
-
-
One of Charlies Angels-
Yeah, the dead one...
-
-
I wanted to be an astronaut and travel into deep space to take a closer look at the stars and galaxies. Didn't really happen, I'm afraid of heights.-
Is it really a height at that point? I mean, which way is "up" depends on where on the globe you're standing...
-
lol Well, yeah, once you get up there. But the way up from earth is pretty long. And what if you have to do a space walk in orbit and your tether snaps? You would have a couple of hours to think about what a mess it will be when you land...
-
Now that's a great dream .. wow -
I thought you were afraid to climb up the steel staircase
-
-
rofl ... you wanted to be a pole dancer by age 10??? What kind of places did you visit as a child, good gawd lol ...
I wanted to be a Marine Biologist, not as glamorous as your choice but there it is -
Yeah, I didn't know there were pole dancers when I was ten.
-
I saw them dancing on tv. I thought it was a good job >.>
-
-
When I was little, I wanted to be a dentist and a candy cane maker. My teacher asked me if I wanted to wreck peoples' teeth and then fix them, LOL.-
that's a brilliant one-two profession
-
Good one. Insurance and job security. What a brilliant child you were.
-
-
I wanted to be in the Navy from the time I was old enough to walk. My favorite uncle was a lifelong Merchant Marine and his magical stories of faraway lands ignited a dream that I refused to lose. Finally went into boot camp at age 29, a single mom with two kidlets ..and older than my company commanders.
Lots of people told me it was ridiculous. Didn't listen. Never give up on a dream.-
Are you still in the Navy?
-
No, I did eight years active and 12 active/inactive reserve. Got out of the Navy to help Dad after Alzheimer's diagnosis.
-
-
I wanted to live on the moon and get away from my parents. I still would like to do that every once in a while but since I live in another state they are not so bad any more.-
I wanted to visit The Mushroom Planet. I read a book in 4th grade with this title and I imagined I was the one going on the adventure. I think you all should read thes story. You'll see what I mean.

-
I wanted to be a zoo keeper-
Being a parent/grandparent is a lot like that ...|grin|

-
When I was 6 years old I wanted to be Miss Universe. lol I use to parade in front of the mirror and wave to my non-existant audience. -
I wanted to be (ethnically) Chinese. I also wanted to be a paleontologist, and a cognitive neuroscientist (as it would be called today).
Instead, I ended up being an opera singer. Oh, well.-
That's still good!

When I was about ten I saw a Jackie mason live on broadway video and for around a year I wanted to be a 50 something ex rabbi comic.
It drove my mum mad because I continually spoke like Mason and and when she cooked I would say things like "Pork chops again! Would it kill you to buy some bagels or some pickles???"-
Jackie Mason is hilarious. One of the funniest comics ever.
-
-
Tehehehaha...that's funny

Teacher or broadcast journalist. -
