Childhood Dreams?

When I was a kid I always dreamt of moving abroad (and becoming an actress and hairdresser…..those I kinda let go) and I’m currently in country no. 3…...so far so good.

@wildflower:
wow thats really great..im glad your following through with your childhood dream. waht country are you in now?

Aye, to be sure, I be in the emerald isle where there be rainbows and leprechauns….........a.k.a. Ireland.

wow thats really amazing and beautiful..what other countries have you gone to? so are you an actress and hairdresser?

lol…..no, kinda moved on from those…..but I lived in scandinavian countries too.

oh wow thats nice..so whats your current job now? is it really cool to travel to different countries like that?

When I was only 16, I dreamt of opening my own kennel because of my love of dogs. I also wanted to be a vet. Those goals changed because both careers are very time consuming, and I wouldn’t have been able to give my family the time they needed. So I ran a mobile dog grooming service for a while instead.

Now I am in medical administration, and I will stick with it. It suits my best of all.

I don’t think anyone ever really dreams of becoming a software developer, but hey, here I am. It’s a shame that astronaut and ninja turtle didn’t work out as professions…

Don’t laugh.. Seriously don’t. I always wanted to be an accountant. So I graduated high school and was poor. College had to wait for a few years. When I finally got to college and took an accounting class I discovered it was almost the most depressing thing possible. I got a degree in economics instead.

And I don’t use my degree for what I do now.

I can honestly say I’ve never heard of anyone who dreamt of being an accountant before….you’re original – that’s cool :)
I was heading for economics once…...then decided to move.

I’ve dreamt of becoming a pediatric oncologist since I was 7, & 9 years later, I’m well on my way to pursuing that goal.

I dreamed of working for Disney when I was little. But then I went and did it in a summer college internship and decided it was too much heat and overstimulation for too little pay. I’m now working for myself and enjoying my college town environs. Dreams evolve. But I still respect the hell out of those imagineers.

To be a Disney Animator. I got accepted into the Disney internship program but decided against it because I didn’t want to move to southern CA.

I wanted to be Queen Elizabeth I when I was a kid.

For me it was a toss up between Marlin Perkins Mutual of Ohamas Wild Kingdom-zoologist and a garbage collector….now I am a Firefighter.

I wanted to be loved. Because I pretty much wasn’t.
Then I found out you’re not supposed to have that ambition, so I quickly started saying
I wanted to be an important artist. I worked at becoming a better artist while continuing to wish I was loved.
When I started getting loved, I didn’t know what it was. (But now I do.)
I am not an important artist.

@ gooch Marlin Perkins rules. “while jim shoves his hand up a bull moose I’ll sit here and collect the neccessary data” used to be one of the favorite jokes at our house but that guy was amazing.

I want to be on Saturday Night Live. I believe that it isn’t a matter of if more me, but a matter of when.
