... when you grew up?!
Or are you like me and haven't grown up yet?! :giggle:
From the age of about 7 I wanted to be in the police. I even did work experience there. Then I got a job in a criminal lawyers and that was the end of that dream.

Does your job even vaguely resemble what you dreamed of as a child? Obviously you don't need to give details, I understand that people like their privacy but did you have big dreams as a kid? Are there any budding astronauts or rocket scientists among us? :mrgreen:
I always wanted to be a vet, but im too soft adn thought I couldnt deal with animals being sick and dying....so I went to work in an operating theatre in the NHS instead! :giggle:
If someone had told me id be doing what i do now I would have said no way. funny how things turn out I always wanted to be a vet but was too sensitive. Would have been useless lol
I wanted to be a nurse
and I've fainted at the sight of blood and all things gore since I was 14 confused great nurse I would be redface
I wanted to be an actor..and still would given half a chance...
Funny though isn't it that in my O levels the bottom two subjects were maths and geography and the two careers I have had are banking and travel lol
I wanted to be an air hostess but got too fat and too tall, sort of fell into what i do now more thro need than anything else!!!

Spent most of my childhood in the British Museum. Didn't live all that far from it. I was addicted to the place. One summer holiday I went every single day of the six weeks off school. Wanted to be a Classics master.
Music played a big part in my life from an early age. So I also wanted to be a concert pianist.
Ended up with a degree in Ancient History and teaching guitar for a living. A compromise of sorts!
I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot, all my life I dreamed of the day when I would take to the skies. Then when I was 17 I applied to join, I had a provisional place and with just my medical to go....I failed. my eyesight prescription was borderline and It ruled out ALL aircrew. damn damn damn.
Then a few years later the rules were relaxed and my prescription was acceptable...unfortunately I was too old by then.
So I am presently studying for my private pilot licence, then saving for my own little plane.
A pervert.
Life has worked out well! lol

Wish you well with your flight training...
The best thing I ever did, ever :thumbup:
The PPL syllabus teaches you so much more than just flying and your first solo.. well, you have to do it to understand how much it means!
well..first ambition was to be centre forward for the Wolves....but that was soon ruled out.....then and would still love to be a Jounalist..thou not just any journalist but a war Correspondent. I did try and apply to local paper but it was before spell checker and I have to confess my spelling is awful. I would just love to be like Martin Bell used to be, right at the front line reporting..feeling the adrenalin rush as bullets and bombs drop around you....but without the actuall pressure of haveing to shoot anyone.
I wanted to be a prison warden :shock: My Mum blamed Prisoner Cell Block H :giggle:

Juice meets laptop moment! :giggle:
without being morose, I wanted to survive my childhood.
I did it!! :bounce:
I do have very strong ambition and I have fulfilled every target and goal I have set myself. Sometimes those have changed and I have remained open-minded to those changes and celebrated all my successes.
I would safely say that I love everything about my life. I have quality in every area of my life and it continues to get better.
i wanted to be a librerian i propally havent spelt that right so best i didnt becomeone lol
i then wanted to be a HGV driver, didnt even pass my driving test tilli was 31 lol
i couldnt figure out what i wanted to be, i always heard teachers say everyones good at something! i didnt know what i was good at , i didnt excell in anything at school.
i was good with peopel though , but back then no one said that would be a carear.
this thread should be lnked to the intelligence thread lol cuse when i was 30 i jacked my job in and put my self through college and uni yep even i get a degree with spell checks help lol
i now work with people, child protection, drung and alcohol misues, Domestic violence and primerally housing. i LOVE it.

I wanted to be famous. I couldn't understand the point of being on the planet, if no one knew who you were. lol
At school I wanted to be an actor or sing for a living, it's taken me a long time but I have done both. I'm extremely lucky.
From being tiny I always wanted to go into Nursing, did my nursery nurse course at 17 planning to go to uni to study nursing after that but things happened that wouldve made it very hard to follow the dream.
Im now in support work which is similar crap just on less money rolleyes ,waiting for the day we win the lottery so i can afford to train
I did want to be an astronaut but then I realised that this country didn't have a manned space programme. Apart from the odd satellite launched abroad, we barely had an unmanned one. This was when the space shuttle was still on the drawing board and it never seemed likely that people from other countries would be able to go up. If I ever win the Euromillions, I'll get a ticket with Richard Branson. I just hope it will be better than Virgin Trains.
I don't suppose I've had a real ambition since which is why I'm a Civil Servant.
World Ruler...
I was an odd child!
I always wanted to be a schoolteacher. Was one for about two years, then changed my mind. rolleyes

An engine driver (of a steam train) ................ and now there aren't any
When i was at school my headmaster commented that i was very clever with an aptitude for leaning new things, however i was also quite lazy and apathetic. He predicted i'd end up as a tramp or a millionaire at some point in my life.....I'd rather not comment on my position on the scale between those two :gagged:
At various points I wanted to be
- an actress
- an ambassador
- an anthropologist
- a journalist
I am none of those things... but hey, all is good! wink
never really had any thoughts about what i wanted to be, and just sort of ended up where i am and not sure if i really like it or not but its a job and a wage so and 5 mins from home in a nice setting so ok i guess
