Elementary School

What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be an astronaut. But, I am noticing that a lot of my students no longer have the desire to do anything with their lives, by the fourth grade! I had a student tell me that he wanted to be an accountant the other day, I almost cried.

Astronaut, truck driver, fire fighter, police officer, doctor, millionaire, and vice-president of Mergers and Acquisitions.







Well, except for that last part.

I think I wanted to be a pilot.

I wanted to be a Janitor or Garbage Man.

Even as a kid I could identify the jobs no one else wanted to do, and I'm a big fan of job security

I wanted to be an astronaut in grade 2.

Everybody told me all the years of hard work and school that would be required for me to do so...

so i just gave up in live at the tender age of 8.

now i drive a forklift.

ha, yeah. I think everyone sort of gives up on the fireman, policeman, teacher dream when they realize how little public service pays.
I actually wanted to open up a pizza hut on Mars. Because, I could be an astronaut and eat pizza all day. I'd tried that freeze dried food and hated it.

I still want to learn to fly! I have a savings account dedicated to saving up for flying lessons right now. I just don't want to add more studies to the schedule right now.

same with astronauts and hearing about how much math is required. That kills most child's dreams for that.

I got the impression that everyone (including myself) wanted to be a marine biologist when we were kids. It wasn't until years later that I realized I formed this belief after asking like three people.

I wanted to be Rambo, sent to weird countries to kill people.

a lottery winner. even when i was young, i knew that my chances of being some type of drone was around 99%.

Lawyer. by the time i was old enough to understand the awful adult grind though i wanted to be

If I wish I could have went back in time and done this, I know it's not too late but as of now it is just a hobby to scuba dive when I can. I am like Stu with birds when it comes too my obsession with fishes.

Become a legionnaire! While it may not be as cool as pre-Algeria, the French Legionnaires are baddass and when you finish your services with them you could become a mercenary for hire.

I wanted to be an author-illustrator. I used to make books all the time in my free time as a kid. It's kind of sad that I gave my creative side up. :/

occasionally you let your creative side out [seaweed bathing suit pic]

Architect, author, paleontologist, space explorer, train engineer, bus driver, ship captain, race car driver, video game designer, film director, movie star, pro baseball player... I think that covers the big ones.

Working in film and/or video games still drives me today, the other dreams have faded (from a practical standpoint, anyway, I still stare at the stars whenever I can). I just hope one day I have enough money to have a boat, a bus, a fast car, and the ability to pay to fly into space. That could at least take care of some of those. :P

Looks like that scene in Piranha 3D

I wanted to be a DJ.

And a race car driver.

I really can't remember what I wanted to be. Its a silly question to ask at that age. Oh yeah I think I wanted to be a dinosaur.

An FBI agent.

I did for a while too, when I started watching the X-Files

Edit: Mind you, that was as a teenager, not in elementary school.

Yeah, X-Files did it for me too

That and my dad's stories. He was a captain in the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior's counter-terrorism unit.

Sounds awesome, his stories must('ve) be(en) very interesting

I think it did for a few people

I would have never passed the drug test for it back then though
