What Did You Want to Be When You Grew Up?

When i was little i wanted to be a vet until i realised a lot of my job would be putting animals to sleep.

I wanted to be a police officer but then something happened which put me off, in hindsight I probably didn't have the patience required for such a role anyways.

Vet or a paramedic that's all I wanted to do growing up

There were three things:

1) Be Goku (from Dragon Ball Z)

2) Be a dinosaur

3) Be a fireman

Those first two clearly aren't possible, but the third option may still happen someday as a volunteer. haha

Being very immature, l wanted to be slim, blonde and tanned, very shallow l know. Yes l achieved all three, but with hindsight l would of told my younger self, get a good education, job and save as much money as you can

I wanted to be an Engineer like my Dad but ended up being a Plumber because of my mishap at my Parents house? I flooded my Parents house by changing a leaky washer on the main stop **** but did not realize you had to turn the main tap off In the ground outside the house. I was 14, so I went to College after School to study. I dont do It anymore as I had enough of 20 odd years or so doing It.

A dancer, an artist, a scientist. Didn’t have opportunity or the education for any of it. Just ended up in a dreary office.

I didn't aspire to be anything when I was growing up. I ended up being a chef and then went into finance

I wanted to be a teacher when I was younger and that is my job now. So I followed the childhood dream. Met my husband at teacher training so it all worked out well.

A professional footballer, I nearly made it but a really bad injury at 17 year old put an end to that dream

An archaeologist, I guess the history bug has always been in me. In later years I would have liked to be a history teacher but to be honest I don't think I could cope with the unruly kids of today.

Always wanted to be a vet

I've always wanted to be an author, I'm hoping one day I can be

At school I aspired to become a journalist or a musician. I later became a press reader and also a professional musician but then changed hack and became a support worker and church volunteer.The latter more spiritually and psychologically rewarding.

I was interested in working behind the scenes at the theatre. My school arranged work experience for me at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley but I really didn’t learn anything, I met Frankie Howard and Molly Sugden so that was really good.

I wanted to drive a huge articulated lorry. Or work on an oil rig. But nooooo, that wasn't jobs for girls

Astronaut and I did when I was in my younger daft years. Been to the moon many times I'm now a gardener and kill weeds
