When we were little we always had dreams but life turned out otherwise, for many of us anyways.
For me, I always wanted to be an astronaut ever since I became aware of space and space travel. I ended up a bookkeeping clerk instead. :p

What about you?

I wanted to be James Bond, now I'm James fucking Bond.

But I drink bourbon and coke, dammit.

I'm still in college now, so I suppose I still have the chance to become whatever I want. When I was a kid I wanted to be a chef, but eventually figured out that I have NO talent in the kitchen. Then when I was a little older I wanted to be a fashion designer, but shortly after hitting puberty my mind changed. I became less creative, and all my interests totally reversed - Now I'm a history major looking to become a college professor or perhaps a museum curator. I'm going to have my first real-ish job starting next month - I have an internship at the Smithsonian Institution, specifically the postal museum.

I wanted to be a dancer all my life and still wish I could be...but I became a mom and eventually a data entry/file clerk. LOL:p

When I was a kid I loved sewing and knitting (yeah I know) and wanted to become a teacher :)
I studied for a bit, then worked with computers and graphic design for a few years, now I'm a student again trying to get a degree in science.

Edit: Oh, at some point I wanted to be a marine biologist too, guess it was highschool or so...

when i was young, all my friends wanted to be firemen, pirates, cowboys & such. i wanted to be a truck driver. they all laughed at me.

now that i've been a truck driver, i understand why they laughed:(

I must confess that I never had dreams as a child about what I would become, or what I would be doing for a living (if and when I ever grew up).

My entire working life, through jobs and a military career, and now the second career after, the work has always been the work and not the fulfillment of a life's dream.

I can say though, I am very lucky.
I do remember from a very young age wanting to be loved, and to have a loving partner and companion.

It took many years of the journey through the dating, the really long and sad marriage to the wrong person, parenthood, a lot of tom-catting around, divorce, hitting rock bottom, and then finally putting it all together. In the end I am happy to report that I have found my center, and my life's love.

I now wake up every morning to the best girl in the world (I am happily remarried), and I guess you could say that I have become that which I always dreamed of being;
A happy feller with a wonderful wife, two wonderful daughters, and the sweetest grandbaby that God ever put on this earth.

Life is good.

When I was a kid growing-to be honest you werent sure if youd grow up or not, you just wanted to be somewhere else, peaceful like youd see on TV.

:(

Growing up with the threat of nuclear war bring about the end of man-kind at any minute, I did not really set early goals of a future career- Just to enjoy whatever I did, and being appreciative of each day.

I have enjoyed many things, from chopper pilot, lumberjack, law enforcement, sales, working for others to owning my own companies, to robotic programming.

So far I have had an enjoyable life.
I believe that employment that you wish to do, rather than settle for- due to circumstances, is much more enjoyable, healthy and productive.

Wud love to go up in a helicopter.

when I was a kid I wanted to see the world and I did that, I became a roadie for a heavy metal band in the 80`s and I would have to say that was one hell of a ride, I met my wife, she was doing a van halen video at the time, she is dutch, fell hard for her, now we live in the back country of Idaho I am A freelance artist with three great kids and we are very happy, to me that is most important!

Do ya wanna say what group you were doing roadie for, or was the answer in yer post.

SCORPIONS

Never had the pleasure :(

I did it once in Kauai. And once was enough for me! The views were breathtaking though. And quiet the rush!Wud love to go up in a helicopter.

I saw the Scorpions in the early 80's at Anaheim stadium with Foreigner headlining. Loverboy and Iron Maiden were also there. Huey Lewis and the News were suppose to be there to but cancelled. Mabye they were afraid of getting mauled by the Iron Maiden fans!:rolleyes: Were you at that show?\\\SCORPIONS

I wanted to be an orchestra conductor when I was a kid. I don't remember ever wanting to do anything else when I was a kid except maybe become a member of the Beatles-ha ha. Now I'm a massage therapist.

Well I haven't become anything yet,but what I really want to do is work with marine mammals or birds. I would also like to be a nature photogrpher. Did you know to be a sea world trainer would must be able to dive to the bottom of a 26 foot deep pool? better start practicing now. LOL:lolhit:

Working in a pet store would be a cool job too dont you think? i just went into petsmart today,and taking care of the birds and other exotic animals looks fun.

YEP! that was the blackout tour and beast on the road (Iron Maiden) number of the beast we did alot of shows with them, good times 83.I saw the Scorpions in the early 80's at Anaheim stadium with Foreigner headlining. Loverboy and Iron Maiden were also there. Huey Lewis and the News were suppose to be there to but cancelled. Mabye they were afraid of getting mauled by the Iron Maiden fans!:rolleyes: Were you at that show?\\\

i want to be beter than tony hawk. i want to be a marine sniper to.

i want to be a marine sniper to.


keep working at that:thumbs:


I always wanted to be a vet,but then I found out that entailed putting down animals too and I can't do that at all.
But life gets in the way and I had to grow up so I ended up doing data entry and managing

I always wanted to be either a teacher or a long haul trucker. Since I spent more than thirty years as a teacher and administrator I guess I fulfilled my childhood dream.

Along the way I was a soldier (telephone lineman, telegrapher, teletypists, cryptographer and finally battalion ratio chief), a carpenter, a machinest, an exterminator, a heavy construction worker, head of store security, an administrator for a large special education camp, a night watchman, a college instructor, a calligrapher, a custom leather worker, and a few jobs I can no longer remember.

Now I have the job I have always dreamed of, doing nothing and getting paid for it. Retirement is grand.

Are you working on any woodwork projects at present Frogger?

As a kid I never thought much about it, but a super agent type like Jason Bourne was close to what I had in mind.

As a teenager I wanted to be a writer. I switched culture and country in mid-teen so that became unrealistic. In any case I grew bored with it.

Now I am a software developer. But really the lure of this line of work was so I can be sitting down all day, with access to the web, and not be bothered.

Honest as ever Dio-well done.
