    What did you want to be when you were little? and What do you want to be right now? How did you change your mind about it? Discuss.

    I don't have it planned out yet. However, I do want to be involved in science and/or medicine, so maybe a nurse doctor, despite the messy work.

    I thought I wanted to do something along the lines of graphic design or work for a magazine. But since then, I really don't know anymore. I've been having doubts and questioning what I was going to do with my life ever since I started really looking at the fact that this is my final year in high school.

    I remember wanting to be a hairdresser first, because my Dad's cousin was a hairdresser.

    Then I wanted to work for the RSPCA, because I love animals, but quickly went off the idea when my Mum was all "I don't think you want to see injured animals."

    Then quite a few years later I started taking Cisco Network Academy after school when I was 16, I decided I wanted to be a computer technician, technical support and the like, particularly in networks and security. Two years later, I scored an apprenticeship with my local council, and I'm one year into it now. Winner. =D

    So yeah, I'm in the middle of getting what I wanted to do.

    I want to look into journalism. I was sure I wanted to teach but.... It wasn't really for me.

    I'm working toward a computer science degree. I plan to go into IT.

    When I was younger, I wanted to be a firefighter, then a politician, then a lawyer, then a doctor (in that order). I gave up on doctor around 16 when I realized it would take eight years out of my life just training for it.

    At different points in my life I have wanted to be a writer, an astronaut, a ghost, a whale and a giant marshmallow.

    Right now I just want to be happy.

    I've wanted to be a paleontologist, marine biologist, professional musician, author, photographer, photojournalist, and now a journalist. In that order.

    Me?

    As far back as I could remember, the first "thing I wanted to be when I grew up" was a fireman, then a martial artist, then an astronaut, then a voice actor, then a cartoonist, then a graphic designer, then an architect, then (and currently) an engineer. My college classes are geared towards civil and mechanical engineering, so for the sake of not wasting college money, I hope I don't change my mind again. XD

    Since I was a wee little lad, my dream was to be animator. But, I lack the talent for that and have moved on. While not my dream job, my current career path looks like it will be in the Information Technology field.

    ive wanted to be a Broadway star, author, palientoligst, lawyer, and Spiderman.
    Though, I really dont know what i want. Maybe i could be a star chef, and not know it. Maybe i should take what everybody keep ssaying and become a Broadway Star. Or should i follow my parents dreams for me coming a corporate lawyer. I dont know.

    I just know i want to have a happy, successful, and awesome life.
    I also want to be a father. <333
