What you ever wanted to be?

[_Shadow_]

When I was young I wanted to become a pilot.

After some years though I sat down and asked myself...

"What do you LOVE to do in order to make money?"

So here is a thought a teenager would do...

Two things!

Video gaming and teaching.

Gladly, I became a teacher.

Well... I wanted to be a bunch of things, it used to swap into something else almost evety year. ^^;

When I was 6 I wanted to be an opera singer, despite having an awful ear to keep myself in any tune... That was followed by me wanting to be an author, a painter, a sculptor, a teacher, a pathologist, an archaeologist, a translator, an interior designer or an architect and finally a children's doctor or volunteer in the developing countries.

I did not get to any of those fields - I applied to med school, but did not get in as I did not do well in physics part of the entrance exam. (Hadn't taken physics in high...) Besides with my social skills I would have been a terrible doc. I study life science at the moment and going to the IT side of the branch. I am interested in modeling protein folding and drug molecules. Buut honestly am afraid I might not have the patience needed in this branch.

I still want to write or draw in the side, so those are probably my biggest dreams.

When I was a kid I always wanted to be ...

A Princess!

Umm, well, there's 3 things I usually think of when I see this question:

-Martial arts instructor

-Video game designer

-Artist

Related to my main hobbies. The artist thing is vague, because I'm not really sure exactly what area of art I'd really do...

There's various things I seriously (well, sorta?) considered...here's what comes to mind:

-Comic book artist

-Model

-Fashion designer

-Singer

-Dancer

-Archaelogist

-Teacher

-Animal trainer

-Masked wrestler

There are a lot! But here's some..

• To work for Pixar!
• To work for EA!
• To be a game developer!
• To be an artist 
• To be world renowned

I never could decide what I wanted to be when I grew up. For a minute as a kid I wanted to be a medical examiner, then considered both programmer and English teacher in college, decided I didn't want to do one and would have hated the other so collegiate failure is definitely on my list of accomplishments.

the coolest jobs I've ever had were vet tech, seasonal horse trainer, martial arts instructor (fun but high maintenance. Bailed on that one In like three months.) and caretaker on an elderly family friend's property. (Definitely the best job ever, my rent was basically paid by playing around with dogs, cats and learning to ride a horse.)

Recently I've been thinking being a host on a political talk radio station would be pretty fun. Mainly because I'm a political junkie with no outlet to vent, Half the time all those guys do is vent for a couple hours and get paid for it,seems like that'd be pretty fun.

I have always wanted to be just an ordinary human living an ordinary life in this ordinary world

@Engr. Adiktuzmiko: Guess that depends on your definitions of ordinary...at least you have control of one out of the two.

I wanted to be a Pilot. But ended up as an RPGmaker but that's not bad at all.

It is too complicated to live simple.

Not to mention ordinary.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

yeah somehow, even if it sounds ordinary, it's quite complicated to achieve... on a side note, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a farmer, probably because of Harvest Moon. XD

That made me smile.

I wanted to be a human, but then I gave up.

I feel happy being an alien.

Starting from when I was a kid

• Construction work, Had a lot of family that does this, so I thought I should be like them
• Bank robber, cause I wanted to be rich lol ( was 5-6 at this time )
• Game Tester then Game Developer
• Math or Science teacher
• Graphic Designer ( did 2 years of school, then changed major because everything I was "learning" I had already self taught)
• Physicist ( was my favorite subject! )
• Computer Engineer ( got tired of physics, so I changed over to engineering so none of my physics classes are wasted )

Currently doing the computer engineering track, hopefully I don't get tired of this one as well!
