what did you "want to be" when you grew up?

I wanted to be either a Soldier or a travel agent.

A doctor or a singer. Then when I got to HS, I got more realistic and realized I didn't want to spend all that time in school to be a doctor. So then I wanted to be a Nurse Practioner. But then I worked in an ER while in college and realized med field was not the career for me...lol

An actress.
I dabbled and had some luck in the industry, but I abandoned it too early 'to be more practical'.

Air Force fighter pilot. I had a fourth grade teacher say I could never do it because I am a girl. :sadeyes

I don't think a teacher should EVER tell a student they can't do something, no matter how outrageous.

When I was a lot younger (like in the imaginary friends age) I wanted to be a teacher. As I got a little older I wanted to be a defense attorney. Then I decided I wanted to deliver babies... such diverse careers. :lol

I wanted to be an astronaut, then a fighter pilot (then I realized I could probably do both), I later wanted to become and orthopedic surgeon....

Fast forward to now and I'm finishing college with a degree in history and no real clue to what I want to do still, am thinking at home daycare may be the best thing for me until DH retires
