I wanted to be a veterinarian. By the time I got to college I realized not only did I have to have straight A's to be accepted into vet school but I had to be perfect
 (while I really am perfect, some people are blinded by my perfection and just don't see it clearly  ). Screw that. I became a biologist and ended up specializing in marine biology.

When I was really young I wanted to be an actress/singer/model as I got older I thought about being a teacher, and now I work in a daycare.

I wanted to be an artist and writer. In some form or another, I've been able to do both over the years.

Wanted to be a Vet, but the school counsellor in grade eight said it would never happen; people like that should be fired. Instead I took accounting in college and am now a bookkeeper.
When I was a kid, I brought every kind of animal you can think of home. When I was eight or nine, I brought a Canadian goose home under my arm; I found it at the beach with a broken wing. It was at least half my size, my mom still has no idea how on earth I caught it or even carried it LOL. Last edited by RobynR; 03-13-2008 at 05:06 PM. Reason: Spelling

When I was young, I wanted to make the skeletons & monsters come alive in movies (just like in Jason & the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans) and was told by everyone (teachers, career counsellors, parents etc.) that I should just forget it as it will never happen.
I've been working in movie visual effects for about a decade and now my old teachers ignore me.  .

I wanted to be a vet until I found out I would have to deal with animals in distress all the time and worst case scenario sometimes put them to sleep. Now I just keep lots of happy animals and fishes around me so that I can get my creature fix.

I wanted to be a pro baseball player. When I was 18 I was offered a scholarship at Washington State if I made the team. The head scout came to watch me play in a tournament and told me I was good enough but too small. Told me to grow about 3" and come back next year. I ate all my veggies, worked out, and practiced hard for a whole year. I grew from 5' 81/2" to 5'9"
Grrrrrrr! Damn my genes! Shoulda ate some reef roids.
