When you were a child, what did you want to be?

[Stiler]

For me, it was that one idiot who you all wish would go away but never did and i feel i have accomplished that , na na j/king but seriously when i was little i used to want to be the saviour of people, like the leader of a group of people who fought for the right thing and overcome it. but it appears that might not be so happening for me , how bout ya'll?

Always wanted to be a Doctor, from the first time I can ever remember wanting to be anything.Even gave it a bit of a shot but at age 28 with a couple kids and fulltime job, I couldn't cut it

so I settle for being a computer Doctor

Seems like you have some issues here Stiler. What's with all the threads asking rather mundane questions?

I wanted to be a garbage man. I think it was because I would have gotten to ride around on the truck with those little pegs. That looked like it would have been a lot of fun when you're 5 years old.

I originally wanted to be a big (250 ton) crane operator. My dad works with them at work, and I loved watching them some days...

I always wanted to be a garbage man. I had to settle with web design and tech support, though.

Well, I'm 14 so I dunno if I count as a child or not Right now I'd like to be a Software Engineer, it's like the perfect job for me (from what I've read about it). When I was little I wanted to be a garbage man too

 

[Cyberian]

A pilot.

Probably 'cause my Dad was a flyer, and because of the neat uniforms.

 

[UltraQuiet]

A professional baseball player.

 

[SaltBoy]

Either an astronaut or a paleontologist. The two things that occupied my little mind twenty years were the Space Shuttle and the T-Rex.

 

[DielsAlder]

An X-Ray Tech.

 

[crab]

An auto mechanic.

 

[Transition]

wtf is so intruiging about being garbage man?!

 

[Cyco]

First I wanted to be an astronaut, then a pilot.

 

[Murphyrulez]

You mean you don't think it's cool to get to ride around town, just hanging on with one hand on the back of a truck, just picking stuff up off the street and getting to smash it into smithereens?

You also get paid very well. Pension plan and all.

The closest thing to God on earth when you consider the area of the body they work on !

I thought about surgery but wanted to be an internist, a good internist is like a really skilled
detective

 

[DaveSimmons]

A Lensman, but I realized I didn't have the purity of character so I decided to be some kind of scientist instead. Creating application software is actually pretty close to my childhood goal
