Smile What did you want to be when you grew up?

So I asked in a previous thread What do you do for a living and now I'm curious as to to when you were a little guy/girl what did you want to be when you grew up ? Did anyone actually become what they wanted when they were just a kid ?

When I was a little guy I wanted to be a Chicken Farmer, Ended up going to school for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (graduated) and now I work on Life Boats, go figure.

Told the chem 30 teacher to FO when he said I couldn't share a textbook with a friend, I had no money to buy one. Ended up fighting with a nun, took a bookkeeping course and became an accountant.

Was going to be a vet otherwise.

I wanted to be the head of the United Nations so I could ban smoking and alcohol. LOL!!!

I'd still like to ban smoking, but I have different views of alcohol now that I am a wine lover.

Now I am a carpenter. Hmmm...

I used to want to be a counselor or a teacher. Then I had kids. Now I've got training in being damn near everything, because as you know, a parent isn't just a parent, we're everything. I also realized that I don't like other people's kids as much as I thought I would, and definitely not enough to want to be around them 8+ hours a day... I think I can blame that on those stupid parents at stores that let their kids run around like maniacs and then start looking around frantically wondering where their kids are.

I do have a background in interior decorating though. But currently a part time home care worker.
