What did you want to be when you grew up?

Jorath Calar · 06-29-2002, 09:10 PM

Asuming that you have growed a bit of course... [img]smile.gif[/img]
And how close are you to that now.

I always wanted to be a pilot, even tried when I was about 10 or so, me and my cousin built a huge airplane from boxes and ducttape and tied about 20 airbaloons to it and then my cousin jumped from my grandparents balcony and almost broke his leg... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I was young and dumb, now I am just dumb [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wanted to be a school teacher.
I am about three college years away from attaining that goal and when I do, I'll be 43 years old.
Its not like I ever attempted to attain that goal prior to starting college last fall...the opportunity just came up to do so and I snagged it.

I wanted to be an astronaut. Product of the 60s [img]smile.gif[/img] I remember quite clearly man landing on the moon and I think that influenced just about everyone of my generation in some small way.

When I got older I wanted to date a school teacher. Why? If you do something wrong they make you do it again... and again... and again.

Adults ask kids this question all the time because they are looking for ideas

Fighter pilot, fly A-10's and smoke Tanks, Glasses at 16 screwed that dream up. Oh well as Mick says "You can't always get what you want"

When I was very young I once thought of being a ballet dancer.

Later (in my early teens) I desperately wanted to be an artist. Still draw, but certainly not as a profession.

Airline pilot or archaeologist.

BA wouldn't have me, because I was an inch too short for their precious entry requirements.

Well I am a qualified archaeologist now, even though I can't do it for a living because the wages are so shit!

Doctor or Policeman
