When I was in kindergarten I wrote down to my teacher that I wanted to work at Peters Drive-In (Hamburger restaurant in Calgary, Alberta). Then I changed my mind to wanting to be a carpenter, but now I'm thinking accounting for a ski company or something. So any who what did you want to be?
 
astronaut. no joke, then smokejumper for the longest time, the forensic scientist, then law (wtf was i thinking?), and now the more reasonable nurse anesthetist.
 
first it was NHL player

than it was something with fishing

now its anything having to do with golf, couple years ago i thought i could play on the tour, but not quite anymore haha
 
o yeah, i forgot, my ultimate dream job would to be involved in politics. whether that be holding political office, or chief of staff type position...

but i plan to work for a while before chasing my political aspirations.... hence law, or some sort of business/ banking.
 
When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a

dinosaur, I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the

world, I made my arms short and I roamed the back yard, I chased the

neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared, everybody knew me and was

afraid of me, and one day my dad said "Bobby you are 17, it’s time to

throw childish things aside" and I said "OK Pop", but he didn't really

say that he said that "Stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job".

but seriously, i really wanted to be a pilot, but i realized i was too stupid to fly planes

then i wanted to be a history teacher, and my mom flipped a shit, and said that was the most worthless fucking idea shed ever heard

haha, and these days i just wanna do odd jobs and live in a resort town and shred every day until i die... apparently that's not a profession though.....
 
First it was a police officer, then it was pro skateboarder,then doctor for quite a while, now a police officer...wich is now my career path through highschool and onto college. 98% chance that is what i am going to be seeing how i am a Junior now and cant really go back and take required high school classes for other professions.
 
Lawyer.

Like for 9 years I was set on being a lawyer. I decided senior year that I wasn't going through with it and I was just going to major in business. I still might go back to it, a long time after college though.
 
First a paleontologist. Then an air force pilot. Then I got glasses and that shot that dream in the face, so now I'm looking to become an aeronautical engineer.
 
I wanna be famous I wanna be a star I wanna be in movies. When I grow up I wanna see the world drive nice cars I wanna have boobies...

But honestly I went from a baseball player to a football player to an X-Games athlete in both summer and winter sports. FML Now I'm depressed... I just want to be retired
 
I wanted to be a pilot and a civil engineer, and that's what I'm going to be. Called it in 1st grade, so it's pretty weird.
 
lets see i can remember in 2nd grade saying i wanted to be a forest ranger, like my dad. then when i turned 10 i wanted to work on cars for the rest of my life. been on the same track since i was 10, only narrowed my selection down to just BMW, with my ultimate dream of lamborghini.
 
For a few years I really wanted to be a doctor.When I was in kindergarden or grade 1 my dad took me to the hospital with him when he tore his leg open biking so I could see him get stitches (I'm not sure whose idea that was). I changed my mind before the doctor even had the needle out.Now I want to be a conservation biologist or a research zoologist.
 
went from wanting to be a veterinarian to a photographer, (and many more in between) and now i;m studying in graphic design/advertising!
 
When I was younger I wanted to be a doctor or in the X Games. Long story short, I'll be sending in my med school apps in a few months.
 
well when i was a little kid my mom said i always wanted to be a garbage man. now im thinking either a diesel mechanic for a ski resort workin on snow cats and such, a teacher, or in public relations for an outdoor company. but im only a junior in highschool and im deffiniteley going to college so ive got some time to really figure it out.
 
at first i wanted to be a fireman, who didnt?

then i wanted to be an anesthesiologist, mainly because you can say it like anaSTEEZEYologist
 
i wanted to be Braveheart, I still do.

but now I am torn.........I have the capacity to go after a PHD in US history but don't know what to do with that. I'd also love to be in the FBI or CIA, maybe even a bullet shield for an ex prez as a secret service agent. I saw Bush senior in his boat at Kenneybunkport in Maine a few weeks ago and he was surrounded by ss guys. They get paid a shitload and have very few expenses. He even bought one of his guys a house. If i can't be in any of that kinda stuff, maybe ill go for the senate or another state rep position.
 
i always wanted to work the rides at six flags,
then it went to being in the coast gaurd,
then it went to architect
then orthopedic surgeon
now athletic trainer and/or physical therapist
 
pro skater rock star pro skiier. the usual.

now probably a lawyer.

it sucks how plans change like that doesn't it?

Trainer for a sports team.
