NBR: What did you want to be when you grew up?

OhSewCrafty · March 2013

For a while there, I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I developed an insane fear of deep water. Whoops. Then I became slightly obsessed with The X-Files and wanted to be a forensic pathologist. Then I realized the sight of blood made me pass out. Strike two! Finally, I wanted to be a psychologist and that's what I went to school for.....but now I work with college student administration. Close? Stick out tongue

I wanted to join the Navy, then I wanted to be a hairdresser, but in the end I became a teacher. Sometimes I dream about being a receptioniest like Pam from the Office.

Great idea! I'm pretty tuned out at work these days.

When I was really little, I wanted to be a librarian (nerd alert!!). I also went through the typical "I want to be a Veternarian" phase, until I realized it included ani

"A world famous violinist!" -that was my answer from 3 years old up until I was about 21.

I started playing at 6, got super duper serious about it at 9, and violin was pretty much my life all through elementary, middle, high school and college (I doubl

Teacher! I got my wish!

Shera.

Once that bubble burst, I knew I wanted to write and found my way to PR.

Until I was about 10, I told people I wanted to play in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band, I even learned the trumpet in school (and still play) because I figured it would help me get in. I was devastated when my Mom told me it was just in a song,

I wanted to be a teacher for the LONGEST time.. While in high school I was able to start a few college classes. So I signed up for teaching classes and found that I did not like College, and quit. I could tell college/teaching was not for me when on

I always, always wanted to be a high school earth science teacher! I'm a dork and love that stuff. Freshman year of college came around and I quickly realized everyone wanted to be a teacher and my schedule for the next 5 years would be physics and organi

Fremdschamen · March 2013

I never had any idea... so I chose lawyer over teacher because the pay is better and it is easier to get a job. Sometimes I wish I had become a teacher, but I do like my job, so no complaints.

My dream job, if money and employment prospects

WorkinWeezel · March 2013

I always wanted to teach special education, and that's what I do!!! I also aspired to sing professionally, but was too afraid to chase it. I'm not strong enough for that much rejection.

First woman NFL quarterback...unfortunately I stopped growing at the age of 10. I can still throw a spiral like the best of them and that's how I officially hooked MH;)

ckhelsea · March 2013

At first I wanted to be a professional babysitter (in-home daycare). Then I wanted to be a teacher from the end of elementary on up through the first two years of college, switched majors to history, and now am working on my MA (hopefull next a Ph D) so I

randomnames · March 2013

I wanted to be a veterinarian for a long time, specializing in big cats, as in lions and tigers.
Now I'm an art conservator, a little different, but I love it!

Ooglybear · March 2013

First Woman POTUS. Or a famous actress...

Currently I am a SAHM, but there's still time for both those "dreams" lol

JSS1002 · March 2013

I wanted to be a talk show host, a lawyer, and an estitician. I work in HR, which I think I wanted to do???

EIsieMae · March 2013

I wanted to be a hairstylist or a nurse. I worked as a Unit Secretary as a hospital for 2 years before I decided the medical field wasn't for me. I'm a hairstylist now

bibliophileemily · March 2013

I changed my mind about every year until I hit college and realized that what I really, truly wanted was to be a stay-at-home mom. I'm getting my wish, but sometimes I wonder if I could have been an archaeologist/actress/pharmacist/tour guide at Disney

First thing I told my parents at the age of 3 was a "horsey-back rider girl", I was impressed with the rodeo. Majored in CJ, was going to go to law school, ended up training/instructing with horses and then to nursing school. We still board horses at our

At the age of 3, I wanted to be a truck driver like my dad... definitely daddy's girl, lol.

old_time_girl · March 2013

I wanted to be a Jockey. Ya know, Seabiscuit style. But I got too tall and decided I would be a horse trainer instead.
So that's what I do! I did my first internship at age 16 and have been training professionally ever since.
Mostly focus on

Casie13 · March 2013

I thought I would be a veterinarian for the LONGEST time. Then I realized just how much school that would be and ended up in sales.

I love what I do, so it worked out well.

kelsea1031 · March 2013

I wanted to be a writer/journalist, specifically a sportswriter. That evolved into wanting to do something in sports communication/writing as I went through school and I was lucky enough to be doing my dream job when I decided to become a SAHM.

AshleyR2452 · March 2013

I wanted to be a data entry clerk (when I was really little, b/c that's what my mom did at the time), then I wanted to be a vet, then a pediatrician, then a hospital administrator, then a nurse, and then I finally landed in accounting...
