When you were a kid, what did you want to be? What are you now?

[cornimer]

The first thing I ever wanted to be was a paleontologist. Now I'm in music school XD changed my mind a couple of times but I love where I am now

 

[ArtsyDreamer]

I wanted to be an artist I always loved drawing and such... now I'm looking into being a graphic designer ^u^

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

An artist... I have a degree in Painting but I haven't gone anywhere with it yet. I only just graduated. Art school kinda killed my passion for art.. hoping to get it back some day

I also wanted to be a veterinarian, which I still think sounds cool but I am terrible at math/science and some dogs kinda scare me

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

An artist.

I work at a hotel.

 

[Nanabells]

I've always wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid and now I'm going to law school! But I kinda want to be a diplomat too, so I took a minor in this one foreign country's language, culture, and politics!

 

[watercolorwish]

i wanted to be a vet because that seemed like a neutral job so people couldn't argue about it with me because i was afraid people would think i'm weird for wanting to draw or design. now i think im going to be some sort of artist. maybe for comic books because its the only thing i'm OK at. i really hope i stick to an art job and it all works out

 

[BrinaLouWho]

I wanted to be a vet of course now I realize I dont want to be that at all now im just a slob

 

[nerdatheart9490]

I wanted to be everything lol. Orthodontist, pediatrician, guitarist in a rock band, lead singer in a band, ballerina, teacher, university professor, marketer/advertiser, astronaut, astronomer, chemist, biologist, the person who found the cause and cure for autism, mother, wife, and a few other things that I can't think of at the moment.

Now I work at Burger King. I have a BS in Marketing, but crippling depression and anxiety that basically have me bedridden. I'm a lazy bum with no skills or motivation and a LOT of student debt. Adulthood sucks, man.

When I was little I wanted to become an archaeologist. History interested me pretty much and it still does, but I can study it my own
and that is enough for me. Nowadays I am studying as dental technician and I have enjoyed every single day. : )

I wanted to sing as a kid. Really, that was my first dream. I loved singing.

Although I do have some average skills in singing, drawing, and writing and other arts, I just don't feel I'm up to par really with life.

I'm basically not doing anything but working in a crap job of like 3 hours per week at most, in retail. Fun. .-.

 

[namiieco]

I never really knew but I said I wanted to be a vet, doctor and artist over my primary school years. Being a mangaka would be cool or getting into illustration but I will NEVER EVER TAKE ART FOR GCSE OR A LEVELS NEVER EVER. The stress put on my sister was unreal you have no idea. Anyway right now I'm just a random girl in high school. I wish they would stop asking us what we want to do. We're all still so young it's seriously stressing me out.

 

[Crash]

i wanted to be a ton of different things as a kid -- vet, archaeologist, wildlife photographer -- and in fact didn't even settle on one until a few years ago. unfortunately i'm not any more closer than that to achieving my goals because of financial reasons, but i'm definitely getting close and i can't wait to go back to school. :')

 

[SensaiGallade]

I really wanted to be a teacher when I was younger! I've set my goals on architecture and interior design nowadays and passing my exams next summer will bring me one step closer to my goal.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

i wanted to be an author and a scientist. i still want to become an author, it'll be a sidejob to something else which i've still got to 100% decide lol

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Well I started playing piano when I was halfway through first grade, and I've wanted to be a musician ever since. Now I'm going to college next year to study music and piano performance. Also, astrophysics.

When I was really young (like pre-school age), I wanted to be a veterinarian, because I love animals. But I soon realized I wasn't very interested in being a doctor of any sort.

 

[forestyne]

i wanted to be a princess, now im lower class trash

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

I wanted to be a chef and now I'm a government slave for the US Forest Service. Will be quitting soon to make time for traveling over this summer.

 

[opalskiies]

I was actually dead set on being a cartoonist until I was 15... so for most of my life. I'm 17 now and I'm actually going in to be a history teacher!

 

[Nightmares]

I went through a couple of phases, but nothing really stood out, so I don't really have any idea what I want to do ;;

I want a high paying job, but they all look **** so I guess I'm just gonna end up like most people

Whoops too late for me lmfao
It doesn't seem that stressful tbh? Just boring with the writing

 

[toycapsule]

I wanted to be an artist, more so even, a cartoonist!

I'm currently in school for linguistics though, and translation. Turns out having a second language that is not super common can be lucrative. I am trying to secure art grants next semester though, and I am minoring in art!
