What did you want to be?

[hawaii02]

I wanted to be a lawyer, but my husband would be better at it than me

Working toward a writing career now...

I wanted to be a teacher but I am going to actually become a nurse. I feel it is my calling.

 

[ClaireAvril]

oh yes... i want to be a flight attendant too.. for the uniform and the travel

 

[Manda-la]

I wanted to be a dancer! Or and actress, I really loved performing

I still do, and I hope I can make something of it eventually, I'm only 18! As for now I'm just your average mall rat working retail

 

[Sushi.]

I wanted to be a psychologist, but then slowly switched my mind to Web Design, which is what im in college for right now (digital media design) I could'nt really imagine doing anything else, oh i also contimplated on being a chef cause i like to cook, i think if my web design went out the window, my next choice now, would probably be interior design.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a doctor like my dad. In the end, I studied computer science in uni and now I'm working as a consultant (IT solutions).

When I was little I wanted to sing professionally..but to quote Justin Suarez from Ugly Betty "things like that don't happen to people like us".

But now i'm going to be studying Business Management and Marketing. The ultimate goal is to own a fashion boutique one day, collaborating with small time fashion labels, independent fashion labels and so on.
I'd also like to own a patisserie lol.

 

[DirtyPlum]

I wanted to be a singer in a cool cheesy pop girl band…

But then I grew up and wanted to be a kick-ass, stiletto City girl (IT job) – which I did/am (not sure about kick-ass tho), and then discovered MAC and wanted to be a MAC MUA – and now that I’ve ticked that off – I wanna be Christina Agulieras MUA. Or Victoria Beckhams...

When I was 12/13 I wanted to be a lawyer and then I was clueless for a while. Then I wanted to study graphic design - and I did that.
I am a happy Graphic Designer now and addicted to vectors and pixels.

 

[crystalclear]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has had quite a long list

As a child I wanted to be an actress but by time I was 11 I got terrible stage fright and have since considered psychology, journalism, public relations, forensic archaeology, writer, image consultant, interior designer and travel agent. Now doing law degree with no idea whether to be a barrister or an academic but atleast I'm in the right area now.

For about 10 years growing up all I wanted to be was a veterinarian. Then in high school I was bitten by the artistic bug and ended up majoring in visual communications. I now work as a Marketing Communications Manager & Graphic Designer.

I also worked as an MA for Laura Mercier for over 5 years, and have done a lot of freelance makeup work. However, in the last couple of years I have really scaled back due to the demands of my full time job and personal issues (the illness and passing of my mum).

It's interesting how many different paths there are. I, for one, truly believe that we can re-invent ourselves at any time, no matter what age we happen to be at the time.

I wanted to be singer then found out I couldnt sing

Then an actress and then I found out its pretty much all about looks and I was a chubby kid.
THen an archeologist like Indiana Jones.

Now Im a cop, its kinda like acting sometimes..and sometimes I get to find some cool stuff. I dont sing though...I know better than that. lol

 

[Ruby_Woo]

I wanted to be an Astronaught more than anything! Or a Film maker.. bt Im a makeup artist.. not that its bad( I LOVE what I do), but I still wish I would have gone the NASA route! lol

 

[blazeno.8]

Well none of my doors are fully closed yet, I've just decided to focus on things that have the possibility to close if I don't do them now.
I wanted to be a translator and interpreter, but I feel as long as I am always up on the languages that interest me, I can always come back to that. But right now I'm on the road to academia. And who knows... maybe the 1st one can supplement it!

 

[ri0tdorque]

When I was little I wanted to be an interior designer.

All though out high school I had planned on being a social worker or child psychologist.

Now at 31 I'm tech. retired I use to do graphic design/web/programming stuff now I stay home with my little boy.

 

[Penn]

I wanted to be an animator, until I went to school for it and did not like it one bit. So I switched to Graphic Design and I am in love with it.
Everywhere I go now, I notice all the packages and what's good about it or what's bad. I'll notice if there's good typography or if a poster used a picture with less than 300 dpi haha oh man I'm kind of a gaphic design nerd.

One day I hope to branch out and design clothing such as graphic tee's, write a book and possibly go into commercials

I totally do this too! I love a gorgeous clean typeface.

 

[zeitghost]

I thought about going into traditional animation for most of my grade school years. I'm at Tulane now studying epidemiology.

Fascinations change.

 

[Fataliya]

I wanted to be a teacher...then I got into high school and saw how teachers are treated, and learned that teachers aren't paid shit.

I stumbled in to the casino industry, but I've been at it for 7 years now, and I love it. And it's brought us to Florida, which we love.

I might not always be a Table Games Dealer, but I'd like to stay in the industry. I guess when I get too old or too tired to deal, I'll go for a promotion, lol.

Me too.

Great typography makes me happy too!

Clients who want to upload a 300 dpi picture in the cms of their website however makes me not so happy.

Or a picture in CMYK. *shudders*
