When you were little, what did you aspire/want to be when you "grow up?" Did you end up pursing this? Why or why not? How about now? What do you aspire to be?

When I was young, I wanted to achieve one of two things:
1) Make to the NBA and be a starter
or
2) Getting a degree into neuroscience, and bury myself in research on the human sensory systems (mostly sight and the eye)
Sadly, my body was in no condition to keep playing basketball by the end of high school. And I got lost interest in schoolwork partway through University. x(

when i was little, i always wanted to be a teacher. for my entire life, i've always wanted to be a teacher so that is what im aspiring to do.

For so much of my life I wanted to be an astronaut. I am not sure why though? Maybe the concept of flying into space just made me have a burning desire to pursue it. I eventually realized though that isn't what I really wanted to do. For one reason, I am too scared to and secondly the amount of work that it would take is just so much haha.

I also wanted to be an actor when I was little but that died quicky XD

My first pursuit was probably a teacher. I thought it's what I wanted to do until I realized I hate kids. I'm sorry, but my patience just isn't high enough to deal with them all day, and I don't think it would get much better in the higher grades.

Now, I want to be a writer. I'm currently working on a few things, trying to build up my skill, but hopefully someday I'll have something published. I think that would be the best thing ever.

I wanted to be a Pokemon trainer and go to Hogwarts.



I just remember that I changed life goals every goddaamn year from being a magician to being a teacher. Eventually at the start of college I fell upon wanting to be a game designer.
Funnily enough, despite having some doubts and maybe a few changes of choices for what I wanted to after college, I'm now in my 3rd of university studying game design and general media design and that's not going to change any time soon.

I wanted to be..... a professional gamer.
Yup, pretty unrealistic when i was little. But then Youtube came along and people started having gaming jobs. Buuuut that seems unrealistic too nowadays seeing as its way harder to get a decent channel running on Youtube.

Other than that, i also wanted to be a writer... Cause.... i like typing stuff.

Have I ever told you guys about the lack of ambition that I have in regards to a career choice? :D

Yeah, my younger self also has no ambition whatsoever. Probably a Paleontologist, but then I learn that you're going to have to learn history to become one... and I hate history. I just want to find the pretty dinosaur bones. :D

I've alternated between a number of things as a kid and a teen. Doctor, Teacher, Dentist, Lawyer and Scientist have all been possible career pathways but at the moment I've got my eye set on becoming a Surgeon specializing in cardiology or a lawyer. We'll see, haha.

As a kid I was completely clueless about what to do with my life, actually.

I wanted to play video games professionally. I gave up on that when I realised it's a horribly unrealistic goal.
eSports seems to be rather popular, but only a handful of individuals probably make a living from doing so.

For so much of my life I wanted to be an astronaut. I am not sure why though? Maybe the concept of flying into space just made me have a burning desire to pursue it. I eventually realized though that isn't what I really wanted to do. For one reason, I am too scared to and secondly the amount of work that it would take is just so much haha.
Had that same idea until I watched Armageddon, which then completely changed my mind about becoming an astronaut or anything space-related for that matter ;;

A doctor. Then, when I grew older, I realized its too common. I want something unique.
Lots of people have the dream of becoming a doctor, but only a few actually manage. One of my friends went to the UK for medical school, says he enjoys it, which I don't doubt, but he has had other dreams of a different career path.

As for myself, I've dreamt of being deeply involved in the medical field from wanting to become a doctor, nurse practitioner, psychologist and psychiatrist, but ended up in a completely different industry.

Well I'm doing one of the things which is being somewhat of a musician. now it's on to becoming a published illustrator (children's books and comics), but when i was younger I didn't really think about my future, felt it was a waste of energy.

When I was younger, some of the things I remember wanting to be was a singer and a writer. Today, my ambition has of course changed numerous times, from a medical bioscientist, to something IT-related, to my current ambition, which is a child counselor or something along those lines. I believe this is something that I am passionate about and would love to do all my life.

Believe it or not, I wanted to be a garbage man for some reason. The only reason I said that is because I like how they climbed on the truck while the truck was moving. That looked really badass to be honest. I always smiled at the garbage bruhs.

I used to really want to be a dinosaur but LIFE SHATTERED when my parents told me that wasn't a real job.

After that, I think it went: author, zookeeper, paleontologist, doctor, marine biologist, forensics detective and psychologist which is what I want right now. I'm indecisive though, so that could probably change soon. ;A;

When I was kid, I've always wanted to be a vet, but when I got older I realized that it wasn't for me. I really don't know what I want to be, I guess that's normal when you're 19 almost 20 years old. I've been considering becoming a social service worker, there's a program at a college nearby, but sadly I don't really have that much money and I don't really know if that's what I want to do. I would love to help people out, and if that can be my job then I can see myself being happy doing it. Sadly, most want a degree and not just a diploma here, I don't have the money going to college and then transferring to a university. I also don't have the best grades when I was in high school.
