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 :)

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

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.

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

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 :)
