What did you want to be when you were a kid?

This thread has probably been done before, but not recently as far as I know.

I wanted to be a scientist when I was really little, maybe because my dad and his friends were geologists. Then later on I wanted to write fiction.

An astronaut, a doctor, or an Egyptologist. I was, and still am, insanely fascinated by Ancient Egypt, space, and medicine.

a bear

I wanted to be whatever I was good at. So I figured I would either be an artist, or a mathematician. Lol. I don't think I ever thought much about it...I was more of a dreamer and had all these grandiose fantasies just about growing up and being really important or revered somehow.

The strange thing is that I was in a lot of enriched classes/programs, but I can't say that was ever what REALLY interested me. I mostly worried about falling in love, getting married, and being a mother and wife.

Lol, stupid kid.

I was the same way.

Yeah I pretty much blew that, lol. I think the only way that ever would have happened is if my dad hadn't died and I still had him around to make me afraid of failing.

whore or dentist

A paleontologist, then a civil engineer (I hate maths, too). After age 12 I didn't know, and I think I've only just figured it out in the past six months.

astronomer

At first I wanted to be a paleontologist, then an astronomer until I was about 9, then I wanted to be a genetic engineer and work on the Human Genome Project. They completed the project when I was about 13ish, so I decided nuclear physicist would be a better option when I learned about the Tevatron.

Now, I have no fucking clue. Ideally something with travel.

A DJ, a F1 driver, and then a DJ again

A pilot

a journalist or a professional musician

I liked math and science a lot when I was little. I was a little nerd and used to read books about science all the time, and after reading the mathematical proofs in the appendix of Cosmos by Carl Sagan I carried around notebooks to write down my own math speculations, LOL.

I became less interested in math and science in high school, probably because they were harder than everything else and I was a slacker who liked feeling smart without much effort.

a paleontologist, then an astronaut, then a cartoonist, then a pharmacist (when i was doing a lot of drugs in high school, lol) and now i'm not sure. since age 13 i've wanted to be a semi-successful musician, and i still haven't given up on that one yet.

it's actually kinda interesting how many people here wanted to be a paleontologist at one time. i loved dinosaurs when i was a kid. i also find it interesting that none of the guys who've posted has mentioned any of the typical child-fantasies of being a, i dunno, cowboy, firefighter, police officer, doctor, etc.

sounds like me. it wasn't simple paying attention in high school, especially with so many privileges. i was in charge of the 'tech room' which basically fixed teachers computers and shit, any electronics problems they had, so my friend and i could write out dismissal slips any time we needed to. some days i wish i could redo highschool,

This is me, completely. I have no doubt in my mind I could still pursue those fields of study and do well, but I don't have the drive (or the desire to get into massive amounts of debt) to do it.

C'mon, most of us were kids when Jurassic Park came out. You're really surprised we all wanted to be paleontologists?

I'd stare at atlases and language books and bios for hours on end. I became less interested in that in high school because I realised I had to work on my social skills... and it worked

Hehehe, awwwwyeah. This is exactly why I passed most of my classes without ever doing any real work, lol.

I'm surprised I'm such a good essay writer, considering I never wrote any of the required ones in HS (well, until my final year when I needed marks that would get me into college, lol).

I'm glad I never worked harder than I had to in HS. There are times when I regret wasting so much time, but I don't think I'd be as happy now, had I done what was expected of me.

In short, slackers unite!

A storm chaser or an adventure archaeologist (i.e. Indiana Jones).

A cartoonist.

an artist of some kind... always wanted to do everything lol

Astronaut, Astronomer, Biologist.

I used to devour any scientific type of book when I was a kid, even if I couldn't really understand it I'd just sit there and read it. No idea what happened...

a lawyer. which i would've been awesome at coz im argumentative and a cunt.

once i hit uni though it dawned on me that what i really wanted to be was filthy rich with no responsibilities, and hedonise my way around the world until my lifestyle caught up with me and i died.

Oh, I wanted to be a milkman when I was 12!

I love milk and I hoped I'd get to see naked ladies in the morning
