What did you want to be when you were younger?

Did you change your mind as you grew older?

I wanted to be a language interpreter at first, but now I want to be a doctor.

  • First real desire was to be a conservationist after seeing a film about people banding birds

    Second alternative was to be a geologist/field prospector

    Third choice was a professional wildlife photographer

    These all became hobbies but they are not what I really do as a job which is mainly clerical.

    When I was really little, a veterinarian.

    From 10 to 16, I wanted to be a journalist, and then I realized that wasn't for me. Then I wanted to be a translator, but now I've chosen speech language pathologist (speech therapist), and I'm really excited.

    Race car driver. No I didn't change my mind. First I'm gonna finish up college to get my legal degree. I'll use my salary from my career and give racing a shot. If I fail I have something to fall back on.
