What did you want to be when you were little?

[Chosen Enemy]

As a child, I always knew what I wanted to do when I grow up. And I could never understand other children who didn't know. I mean, it makes sense, not everybody knows. Yet, I kept asking people that question. So I'm interested to know what you wanted to be when you grow up (or still do if you're not an adult or in school)?

I knew I wanted to be an author. As a child, I wrote many stories which I wanted to turn into books. They were children books. I used to have a folder with many things in it like a list of the stories I wanted to write, a notebook where I wrote my stories, and more. Then I got into acting. My friend went to an acting class and I decided to join her. Ever since then, I took many acting classes during the next 6 years or so. Even more than one at once. I signed in an agency and had a few very small acting jobs.

I also took interest in mysticism and luck stones. I bought many books on the subject and was pretty much an expert. I collected stones and really wantd to do something that's connected to that.

The writing hobby made a turn, just a little one, and I started teaching myself screen writing. Including participating in contests and making it to the finals. Then, I ran into another world I didn't even think about. Sewing and fashion. And that's what I do today. I even studied fashion last year. That's not something I even thought of when I was a child, but it's something that I wanna do today. I would still love to get back to acting, and writing though.

When I was younger (teenager age) I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I still don't know what I want to do

I wanted to be a doctor until I was about 15. Then I wanted to be a teacher until I was 17. Then I wanted to be a psychologist until I was almost 19. Now I want to be an actor/writer/showrunner. And honestly, this is what I've wanted my whole life, I was just afraid to admit it because I thought the things I wanted were "stupid" and "unrealistic." But now i know it's only stupid if I don't believe in myself. And it's unrealistic if I don't try.

Before I was about 12, I wanted to be a mish-mash of things, but never really committed to one particular profession. After that, all I ever wanted to be was a lawyer. *Ducks from the statute books [MENTION=10790]Goby[/MENTION] throws at her*

To go with that, things changed from international business law (I spoke almost fluent German) to family law to getting a psych degree. I really wanted to be an FBI profiler as I have a darn good intuition about people, but it's a very difficult job to get into. I figured I would get a law degree then get on with the FBI in some way or fashion.

Anywho, now I'm a part-time church secretary/SAHM/Wife and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else!

I wanted to be a psychologist for a really long time. I don't even know why, really. When I was little, I thought being a psychologist was just having people tell you their problems and helping them, and that was it. Now, I still don't really have an idea of what exactly I want to be, but I definitely don't want to be a psychologist! Psych just really isn't for me.

Ms.Trick agrees: That's because of the you liking fashion I thought "maybe she also does jewelry"

No, I wish I was making jewelry. Too many interests and I have to pick between them. But I fooled ya!

I wanted to be an author, like you I was writing stories, even before learning to write. I was drawing the story and then I was telling the story to my mum and she was writing it on the drawings :heart:
Then I wanted to be an author and a singer.
Then I wanted to be an author and an actress.
Then I wanted to be an author and an actress and a fashion designer.
Then I wanted to be an author and a journalist and a fashion designer.

Now, I'm less in for the writing, I more want to be a journalist and a photograph and a fashion designer 😀

We have the same taste in things we want to be. And I also had this "I want to be this AND that at once". Like author and an actress - this is exactly me at 12!

And I was in school's paper, so I wouldn't say no to journalism.
Singer-if I knew how to sing, I guess I'd want to be a singer also.

All that I ever wanted to be when I was little was a cowboy, and have a horse like Trigger. Come to think of it, I would still like to have a horse like Trigger, but I would want a much softer saddle.

I wanted to be a doctor until I realized how much I hate science.

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

When I was 6 - cashier. I thought all the money I get is going to me.
When I was 7 - Barbie.
When I was 8 - veterinarian. That lasted long enough.
When I was 10 - make up artist.
When I was 14 - an actress.
When I was 15 - an interior designer.
When I was 16 - psychologist.
When I was 17 - translator.

But every step of the way, since I was a kid, I truly wanted to be a writer.

I wanted to be a lawyer until a teacher shot me down so then I didn't know for a while then I settled on nursing which I'm doing now 🙂

 

[WileyDairyGnome]

I remember I used to want to be a dentist. I don't know what I was thinking. 😕

 

[xfivebyfive]

I wanted to be an author or photographer until about 14 then I wanted to be an author and a teacher. Its pretty much what I still want to be. Or an optometrist or pathologist.
