I want to start a course, online or evening whilst DS is small so when I go back to work eventually (sahm) I can go back and do something I enjoy but the problem is, I have no idea at all what I want to do when I grow up, at the grand age of 31 I thought I'd have a idea by now!

I'm an NHS therapist, when I grow up I'd like to be a farmer.

SkiingIsHeaven · 12/06/2019 23:47

I'd like to be mature and responsible but that doesn't look like it will happen any time soon. I'm 47.

happyhillock · 12/06/2019 23:53

Wanted to join the army or be a nurse, never did either

HoppityChicken · 12/06/2019 23:57

Archaeologist - not sure the knees would survive cold muddy fields any more though - archeologist in Egypt!

musicposy · 13/06/2019 00:02

I'd like to go to work in an office somewhere, preferably a huge high rise glass building, and wear smart clothes and have meetings and do whatever mysterious stuff people in offices do.

SisyphusHadItEasy · 13/06/2019 00:06

Next year is my last year of my engineering degree. I will be 47 when I graduate, and perhaps I will grow up soon after.

I am actually doing a summer internship in my field and loving it. I think I made the right choice.

Hannah4banana · 13/06/2019 00:10

I'm a firefighter at 38. Finally love my job

pineapplebryanbrown · 13/06/2019 00:13

I'm desperate to be an FBI Profiler in the Behavioural Science Unit when I grow up. I'd also (in my spare time) like to be a spy and run secret missions into East Germany behind the Berlin Wall. I'd put chalk marks on walls to indicate when I'd used a dead drop. I'd also like to be in the SAS and do shadowy wetwork as part of black ops and in the Foreign Legion.

I'm spectacularly lazy though which may have affected my woeful career path.

TheWristBoundLatexBitch · 13/06/2019 00:15

I want to be a midwife but hate blood and would probably pass out like I did taking my child to a&e when there was two children with cut heads.

Oh I wouldn't mind a health visitor job!

I'd like to work with children.

I currently work for a charity.

Burlea · 13/06/2019 00:20

I'm 59 what age will i be grown up.
I'd like to be a model or a doctor. Too late for me.

Blinkingblimey · 13/06/2019 00:20

To write songs...I want to write and get the financial credit not the media credit....see? I’m savvy in me old age🤣

Aus84 · 13/06/2019 00:21

@Happyhillock I don't know how old you are but my mum joined the army reserves at 60.

Beechview · 13/06/2019 00:24

Sisyphus I’m impressed with that! I want to be an engineer too.

MooBaaLaLaLa · 13/06/2019 00:41

A really hot assassin.

Tottie · 13/06/2019 00:50

Midwifery is not all its cut out to be and is currently undergoing massive changes, to the detriment of the midwives well being! Anyway, when I grow up, I'd like to be taller. Im 43 and 4ft 11"!!

PissOffPeppa · 13/06/2019 00:51

I never want to grow up Grin
