FolanMama

And what did you end up being?

Me:  When I was 4, i wanted to be a pizza delivery girl on horseback...

At a resonable age-- an OB/GYN, but ended up being an event planner turned SAHM.

I always said I wanted to be a teacher, but after a year as an education major I realized it wasn't for me, and I am a SAHM.

When I was little I wanted to be a doctor, then a teacher.

I became a special events planner too! now a SAHM

I wanted to be a lounge singer or a Vegas showgirl when I was little.

When I was old enough to actually work, I wanted to be a hairdresser.

I ended up being a financial analyst, and I HATE it. ?

I wanted to be an actress. Not finished with school yet, but I'm pretty sure I will not pursue my childhood dream. haha

I wanted to be an astronaut from when I was 3 until... well now. But, with a congenital heart defect, I can't.?

So now I'm a photographer. ?

I always wanted to be a nurse like my mom, and I ended up doing it.  Kinda weird it actually worked out that way...I think most of the time it doesn't!

Which makes you my new favorite person.  You know what it is like to have to muster up the restraint to NOT throat punch a MOB!

i ALWAYS wanted to be a housewife and mom. i never planned on going to college because i knew that this is what i would do. and that is what i do!

I wanted to be the first female president, or so my Mom says.  That sounds a little too feminist for me.  I think she's projecting.

I wound up being a lawyer.  A criminal prosecutor to be exact.  Boo, I hate it!

Now I wish I were a teacher.  Less student loan debt and summers off!

An elementary school teacher.

I have my M.S.Ed and I am certified to teach in PA and NJ.  I plan to start looking for a job in the fall.

I currently work at the university where I attended grad school.  I am an Academic Advisor there.

I wanted to be a hairdresser in kindergarten...in HS I wanted to write blurbs for catalogs like Elaine from Seinfeld.

I ended up dropping out of college to go to beauty school and did hair for 7 years before becoming a SAHM.

I wanted to be a garbage man and even woke up at 4:30 am to watch the garbage men pick up our garbage....  I honestly think I just wanted to ride on the back of the truck.

My job as a bank manager is not NEARLY as exciting

FolanMama

That is as good as my pizza delivery girl on horseback.

i wanted to be an astronaut and i went to college for aerospace engineering.  for a year, until i hated it and switched to painting.  since one doesn't actually get a job with a painting degree, i ran my own clothing business for a few years, got my masters in art and design ed and now i teach drawing at a high school.  i love it.
