What did you want to be when you grew up?
 

So I asked in a previous thread What do you do for a living and now I'm curious as to to when you were a little guy/girl what did you want to be when you grew up ? Did anyone actually become what they wanted when they were just a kid ?

When I was a little guy I wanted to be a Chicken Farmer, Ended up going to school for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (graduated) and now I work on Life Boats, go figure.

An astronaut, turned out to be a space cadet. Close.

Wanted to take out the trash like Chin.

Told the chem 30 teacher to FO when he said I couldn't share a textbook with a friend, I had no money to buy one. Ended up fighting with a nun, took a bookkeeping course and became an accountant.:lol:

Was going to be a vet otherwise.

Hmm
 

:biggrin:Wanted to be a Cowboy, Then a Spaceman, Hockey player..Then Football
Played football right up until first year at U.of W. then had knee destroyed and football was over...Still cheer for the Huskies..Go Dawgs!!

I wanted to be a fighter pilot :) I still regret that I did not go to Kingston to get my comission and my wings :(

I wanted to be a hustla.
You better ax somebody.

I wanted to be the head of the United Nations so I could ban smoking and alcohol. LOL!!!

I'd still like to ban smoking, but I have different views of alcohol now that I am a wine lover. :D

Now I am a carpenter. Hmmm...

be just like my daddy

I used to want to be a counselor or a teacher. Then I had kids. Now I've got training in being damn near everything, because as you know, a parent isn't just a parent, we're everything. I also realized that I don't like other people's kids as much as I thought I would, and definitely not enough to want to be around them 8+ hours a day... I think I can blame that on those stupid parents at stores that let their kids run around like maniacs and then start looking around frantically wondering where their kids are.

I do have a background in interior decorating though. But currently a part time home care worker. :lol:
