GTKY: what did you want to be...

What did you want to be when you were a kid? Did your career goal come true?

I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I applied 3 years. Rejected the first year, interviews the last 2. I declined my interview this year because we moved out of the cities, and I'm a SAHM now. Maybe later in life I will try again.

I wanted to be...when I was in middle school...a meteorologist or a lawyer. Science doesn't thrill me and neither does legal writing, haha.

Now I'm in marketing research and strategy for a large retailer. Love it!

All the way up until I was about 16 I also wanted to be a vet.  Then I changed my mind to nursing.  Now I'm an RN, soon to be finished with my MSN.  Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like had I become a vet but I'm also happy with my current job.

A vet, but then I realized I didn't want to go to school that long or pay a quarter of a million dollars+ for an education so I went the vet tech route.  I've been a tech for 10 years and the clinic's Practice Manager since 2010.  I love my job, my clients and of course my patients.  I'm a very science driven and hands on person, I really think I'd be happy in any medical role.

I really wanted to be a marine biologist growing up and then a psychologist. I didn't want to do research in a lab so I went to law school instead. I've been an attorney for 3 years now but I think i'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

I wanted to be a journalist.  I did recently get my BA in Communications, but have yet to do anything with it.  At this point I would most like to stay at home with our kiddo.  Which I will be doing part time when the time comes :-)
