What did you want to be as a kid?

[SZLiao214]

When you are a little kid, usually you are asked at least once what you would like to be when you grow up. When i was asked that as a kid i said a sniper as i had recently watched a war film.

I'm still in school now and will probably end up in the geographic mapping field.

What about you?

[shortylickens]

Billionaire.
Young version of Hugh Hefner.


Instead I am a wage-slave in a company thats probably going to lay us off so as to give our jobs away. Likely to mexicans for a dollar an hour or chinese for a dollar a day.

an astronomer.

I'm in a strategy group for an automotive company now, soon to switch into consulting after I finish grad school.

lol, when my buddy asked this question to his kid (I think she is 5), she said that she wants to be a fish when she grows up. he was like.. 'ooookk' haha

I'd thought about being an aeronautical engineer. Ended up as a cop. Still young enough to have a second career - I haven't decided on that yet.

[nageov3t]

I gave serious thought to becoming a priest.

nowadays, I've got a mindless IT job, but trying to save up for grad school to become a librarian.

 

[Lola]

I thought about becoming a nun, neurosurgeon and actor and chef.

To this day, I still fantasize about being an actor or chef. I work for an auto supplier in customer relations. It is not glamorous by any means, but I don't mind going to work every day. I need to start "dreaming" more frequently and doing what I love.

[Fenixgoon]

too many things to remember.. i know a fireman was among them.

on the road to being a materials engineer now. really, i want to do every part of engineering, not just materials. but there's a reason why there are fields of engineering, not just "engineering"

Side note, my 5th grade teacher (back in 5th grade) predicted I'd be a Computer Science major at the school I am attending. Surprise!
