"When you were little..."

What did you want to be?

Watched Mr Deeds a few days ago and near the end he asks everyone what they wanted to be. Pretty much everyone weren't what they dreamed of being so I was wondering how close everyone here has got to their childhood dreams? Whether it's dream job or achievement or whatever.

'I wanted to be a vet...'
'And what do you do now, sir?'
'I run a slaughter house.'
'OK then... kinda went in the opposite direction there didn't you.'

When i was younger all i wanted to do was be an Artist. Not sure what i had seen to make me want to do that. I have got as far as doing 2 years in Art College.

Do i still want to continue in that...

Yes at some point i think i will when the kids get older. However i don't know what area i will focus on more. Photography and Fashion i enjoyed. Also a few other area's.

Few other things i wouldn't mind doing. Got a couple of things in the pipe line though. Something totally different to the 'Art'

A writer.

Still reachable.

In primary school I wanted to have a career in comics and/or animation. Which is what I do now.

I always wanted to work for Freeola








I actually wanted to be a lawyer until the age of 16, I was quite ill and had brain surgery so missed a year and a half off school. Due to this I didnt get the GCSE grades to do Law. I then wanted to work in IT as either a web designer or within support for a big company like one of the big banks, NHS etc. Im working my way up and will one day hopefully do that earning loads of money.

I wanted to play snooker for a living and up until i was 12 that was actually a possibility, after that stuff happens. Aside from that i never knew what i wanted to do and still dont to this day. I've never cared about anything enough to devote my life to it but i've always had an interest in law and property developing.

We'll give you a good reference when you leave :) which reminds me don't forget my argos vouchers. I seem to be the only one who wants them, everyone else keeps asking for amazon vouchers. :/ I can accept cheque too if that helps.

i never thought much about it. Being a successful museum curator or maybe a role in IT and thats it.

Everytime someone asks me what is your dream in life, i simply insult them by saying i want to be galactic emperor of the universe with a prosperous happy empire to go along with it.
