As a kid,you wanted to be......?

[tenzo_groupie]

i wanted to be a fireman because Fireman Sam was

[AVAlution]

I changed my mind so many times I think I wanted to be everything at least once. The most memorable though were a hobo (I thought they got paid to do nothing.. I was really young), a food critic (I was a chubby kid and wanted to eat for a living) or a pokemon trainer, of course.

As a kid, I wanted to be Godzilla.

(The teacher gave us a sheet asking us what we wanted to be
when we grew up. I put down Godzilla, and I wasn't trying to be funny,
I was serious. The teacher made me write down something else though.)

[Furore]

I just wanted to be an adult if I recall correctly.
There was just something about not being allowed to do certain things based on age that always got to me, even up to the point right before I became the legal age for everything here in Australia.
My ideal image of an adult at a young age would likely be very similar to a deadbeat though so I've definetely come some way since then (even if by all accounts I am still a bit of a deadbeat in some ways).
I just figure if it makes you happy it's worth pursuing, if it makes others happy and doesn't really do anything for you it ain't usually worth doing.

To tell the truth, for most of my pre-adolescent life I wanted to be a herpetologist. The fact that I even knew that word at such an early age should speak for my obsession (ten years have passed and I had to look it up; it appears I was much brighter ten years ago than I am now).

[Eris]

I've seriously never had ambitions. I just go with the flow.

I had originally wanted to be a pianist, but I figured out later that it would take too much time and effort to become one. I scrapped that idea and then wanted to become an artist. I drew for a while, and then that became boring. After that, I wanted to be a mechanic / landscaper. Mind you, I was 11 at the time of this epiphany. I still work on small engines and bicycles, and I still do landscaping. So, yeah.

... I'm focusing on going to a business school at the end, though...

[Athena]

I wanted to be a pediatric surgeon.
Now, I want to be an English teacher for French high school students.

[FluffyDango]

Police, ever other guy in my class wanted to be so :P
A Power Rangers or/and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutrle XD

[wolfgirl90]

As a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut.

As an adult, I want to be...an astronaut.

Yeah, I still haven't let go of the dream. I have had this goal for as long as I can remember. I am currently majoring in Aerospace Engineering, so I have made one big step on the 50 steps needed.

[Aulos]

In elementary school I wanted to draw comics. (not manga because I had not had any exposure to it yet.), in middle school I really wanted to play the trumpet professionally (I played the trumpet back then. o_O), and then in high school I wanted to be a professional bassoonist.

[Izzy Stizzlebonk]

When I was a wee child, I wanted to be a civil engineer. I wanted to build grand roads and highways.

No joke.

[AnimeSoldier-Jonathan]

i wanted to be an artist than it hit me that i couldn't draw anything so than i wanted to be a chef but i cant stand heat so i gave up on that and now i know that i will be a computer technician and web designer (until those take off i am going to make a band soon)

[FlowerMaiden]

I wanted to be a Vet.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I wanted to be a doctor.

[Inactive Account 0061]

I have no idea why but I've always found the profession of killing people for a high amount of money very interesting, even when I were a lil' kid :3

[*Tsuki*]

Doctor, Dentist, Vet.
Now I want to be a pokemon master. ^.^

[blueangel06661]

As a kid I wanted to be a mermaid!!!

I'm serious. I was determined to be a mermaid at a local Florida underwater show attraction. But as I grew older I then realized I was not pretty or have the lung capacity to be a mermaid. I think one of the test is that you have to be able to hold your breath for at least 4 minutes or something like that. Also you perform in a spring so it's freezing cold 24/7 and sometimes you have unwelcomed visitors [gators] Meh.

[Vintniv]

A police officer. Not so much now, because nobody likes the police anymore.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

^Damn straight. D=<

I may also add that then I wanted to be a Soccer player, but meh.

[Uta-chan~]

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a painter (even though I can't paint well at all! >////<)
And also an actress but gave up that idea. (Do NOT like drama anymore >->)
But there's always one thing I've wanted to be.. (and still do!)... I want to be like a Disney Princess!
Hehe ^^ They're just always so sweet and kind and hard-working and always get the men! ;P

[MirrorToTheMoon]

I'm still a kid :3 (does 13 count as a kid? I hope so.)
In elementary school, I wanted to be God. :L I'm not joking, I'm being serious.
Man, my parents laughed their heads off at me when I told them that.
So then I wanted to be a vet.. but then after my first dog got put down I was like OMG NO I DUN WANNA DO THAT and bawled my face out.
After THAT, I wanted to be an artist, because I'm not bad at drawing and my grandfather is actually a renowned Chinese artist, but when he died when I was in Year 6 two years ago, I went all depressed and.. T.T
So now, I want to be a graphic designer. Funny how going to high school suddenly turns you into a supreme realist.

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

A mercenary, but yea... I sort of gave up that idea.
