As a child what did you want to be when you grew up

[Iamlucylocket]

And what are you now?

I wanted to be married to Kevin Keegan. Instead I work in finance

First, an astronaut. Then I found out about vacuum. Then, a fire fighter. I'm phobic about fire. Next, a jockey. Then i found out how they are treated, and how much they're paid. Then a social worker. My aunt told me my exam results were far too good, and I was to do law. Next, a lawyer. . . jeez, so much for that!

Actress, Air Hostess then lawyer. Not very imaginative.

When I was about 7/8 I decided I wanted to be a teacher...and I am!

As a child had no damned clue, end of secondary school i decided on travel rep, college course was useless and was told I'd only get to do 18-30's holidays (my idea of hell) so dropped out, now a PA.

A nurse. And now I am one.

A riding instructor, but I have always worked in offices as secretary /PA.

I was discouraged from being a riding instructor and as I wasn’t a very strong person and just did as I was told, I didn’t fight it.

I really wish I had been more forthright when I was a teen.

A teacher ever since I can remember.. And I am one

An actress.

I manage direct marketing campaigns for charities.

Time for a change.

Palaeontologist until Jurassic Park came out and everyone said they wanted to do the same 😂 then something medical or with animals. I did nursing but then stopped, I did a few different things but been at home for a while now as I have children with disabilities. I'm hoping to set my own business up later this year.

I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. I'm a nanny

Batman until I was about 9.
Rugby player, I managed to be semi-pro.
I’m an actuary.

I wanted to be a chef! God, I hate cooking now, and do the least I can get away with. I'm an office manager.

A gymnast.

At the age of 38 I was diagnosed (our to lots of painful joints) with hyper mobility syndrome, so maybe I could've been a gymnast if I'd stuck at it!

I ended up working in Education.

Air Hostess - meh dint fancy being away for long periods. Forensic Scientist - fainted when my brother had his ankle pinned. Now I'm a Senior Engineering Geologist (and FTM) and love it! Rocks don't bleed or moan!

I wanted to be a grey shire horse .
Then a marine biologist.
I now work with animals

Hairdresser.
Forensic pathologist
Air hostess.

Actually
Teacher
Foster carer
Parish clerk
Administrator!

An artist. A teacher. A mum. A kitten fosterer. A writer.

Well - I'm OK at art but nothing fantastic, so that went nowhere. Possibly could have got into media/design. I did train (16-18) in graphic design but never managed to get to uni in the end.

I do some teaching - ESL. I really enjoy it but I couldn't see myself in a school in charge of a class. I am NOT authoritative at all and my classroom management is appalling. I do OK with small groups of motivated students or one to ones, which is what I now try to stick to. I am considering if we ever move back to an English speaking country training as an ESL specialist TA. Possibly I could move up to managing a class in the future if I got some decent training/skills in behaviour management.

I do have 2 DC and have been SAHM with DS1 and am on extended ML with DS2 and do love that - but don't fancy being SAHM forever, much to the bemusement of my own mum.

Would love to foster kittens but defo not the right circumstances right now with little ones. Maybe one day - or just having a cat and/or dog.

I'm not as good at writing as I thought I was as a teenager :o

Astronaut or astronomer. Then I realised you need a sound aptitude for maths for that (I HATED maths on school) so moved onto scientist. Again, the need for pesky maths was brought to attention.

Now I'm a TA!

A prostitute. Or more specifically I was very young and said I ‘wanted to solicit’. Everyone told me I couldn’t do that. I could be a solicitor but soliciting was not the same.

I also wanted to be a teacher. And a mechanic for a while in my teens.

I work in the environment sector in a project role.

Lollipop lady (I was very young when I decided this 😆), air hostess or maths teacher. Then from the age of 14 I decided I wanted to be a paramedic and that's what I do now. Love my job 👍🏻

Primary school teacher. Then air hostess. Then mechanic. Then equestrian vet. Then Signals Corp (thanks, Cadets). Then marketing manager for Armani. Then lawyer. Am a primary school teacher... (never did any of the other jobs!)

Olympic gymnast, Air hostess then sports journalist then lawyer.
I am now none of the above!

I wanted to be a horse.

Then I wanted to be a nurse, until I realised vomit might be involved.

Now I amI have lots of horses

*Corps

I always wanted to be a doctor. I did well at GCSEs and A-levels but didn’t have the confidence to go for it, and my parents didn’t think I could.
