When I Grow Up I Want To Be....

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 05-30-2014, 10:13 PM

I want to know what you wanted to be as a child/teen and what you want as a job now (you can either be working towards it or as a fantasy).

Edit: I want to know what people say you'd be good at. For me I have been told I would be a good lawyer or counselor. I don't agree though.

As a kid I wanted to be Cat Woman (wtf I know) but generally I wanted to be either a chef, pathologist but mainly a forensic scientist. Now I am passionate about software, SEO and running my own business (eventually). Obviously I'm still working on the dream but am not far off finishing my study.

I'm curious to see whether you guys are doing what you want to do. It doesn't matter what it is (from sex work to rocket science), it's whatever drives you and makes you happy.

As a child I wanted to be a librarian, just because I love to read. These days I'm unemployed but after a lot of dead end office jobs I finally found my calling working with kids and couldn't be happier.

Edit: I think most people would agree on me being a good teacher but i've heard social worker and psychiatrist too. Basically anything involving helping people.

Aww cool, I've been a librarian many times and it's such a great job. I'm glad you've found something you enjoy.

I wanted to be a Lawyer cause i always secretly liked arguing,

That or a Ninja or even better, a Ninja lawyer!! But no, i studied to become an assistant pharmacist and now i work at a little pharmacy in a supermarket.

My real passion is music but i never saw myself as a rockstar, i think i have a better chance of actually becoming a ninja lawyer than becoming a rockstar, i never thought i had something special to say to the world, as a musician i KNOW at best the kinda music i like to make would be locally famous and that's if im lucky and charismatic which im not.

I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies
When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines
When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene.

Welp. I'm officially handing in my punk towel. It was worth it for that awful, awful joke I think. I actually did want to be a rock star as a kid. Either that or one of those dudes on those nature programs. As a teen I wanted to be an art teacher but now I have no idea. I enjoy cooking but it's a difficult way to make a living and for those who really do it, like, really really professionally and run their own legit kitchen and blablabla it's an incredibly demanding lifestyle. So, until I figure it out I'll just coast along with whatever gets the bills more or less paid until I can go back to college.

That would be sweet a gig, you'd get to travel the world and have an adventurous life.
if it were me though i would take a different approach hosting, it would be similar to this one.

^LOL.

I like watching Ze Frank's animal videos: Mantis Shrimp (badass)

Is it bad I have no idea what the answer is to your question?

For years I wanted to be a teacher, then I wanted to be a therapist, and then I learned that I'm too twisted to be trusted to be either of those people.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be an archeologist or paleontologist or astronomer. When I was a pre-teen I wanted to be a writer or an artist or to do special effects for movies. When I was in high school I still wanted be a writer, and I also wanted to be a minister or a chemist or a musician or a graphic designer. I went to design school and did in fact become a graphic designer, though a few years ago I transitioned into web design then web development. Never dreamed of being a developer as kid but then the kind of work I do didn't exist back then. I still aspire to be a writer and people have always told me it's something I'm good at. I guess we'll see.
