when I was about 3, I wanted to be a ballerina. but my mom wouldn't let me join the ballet group, so I started to say I wanted to be simply "an artist" (I liked to draw). then other things came to my mind, like: archaeologist (because of a friend of mine), singer (even though I couldn't/can't sing AT ALL), "famous" (lol, that would be my answer sometimes), detective, veterinarian, and so on. but I'd always go back to wanting to be an artist, I was like that until I was like, 16.

a teacher, a nurse, a model, an actress, an architect, an interior designer, a dolphin trainer, a hair stylist, and about 20 other things as long as it meant i would bank tons of money.


now i just want to be financially stable. i live pay check to pay check and i survive, but sometimes (well maybe i'm mostly saying this right now w. xmas one week away) it stresses me out.

I wanted to be a tattoo artist. Never too late though. Just can't handle physically hurting someone.

I wanted to be a Power Ranger. then after that a breakdancer.

 

04/18/10 3:57 PM

killer whale trainer, veterinarian, zookeeper. pretty much anything having to do with animals. i am currently doing a very very very watered down version of that =/ although i was a temp keeper for a few months before i got my current job

 

04/18/10 3:59 PM

I wanted to be a hollywood actor. And I know that dream is far too large! haha

 

04/18/10 4:19 PM

An actor, and I still do.

 

04/18/10 4:22 PM

Vet, palaeontologist, archaeologist, racing driver, rock star and a million others I can't remember.
I'm actually a zooarchaeologist now (or will be once I finish my PhD), so I'm sort of a combination of the first three.

What exactly does a zooarchaeologist do?

I think they dig through the animal turds looking for lost items that the visitors dropped in the zoo.

 

04/18/10 10:04 PM

actress, nurse (I am), writer, artist (that too) and vet.

If I had a do-over, I would be an animal nurse, not a people nurse.

 

04/18/10 11:47 PM

a super hero

Call me FAT ASS!

Usually whatever I wanted to be was influenced by whatever movies/TV shows I watched over and OVER again. For the most part.

I wanted to be....

Archeologist-watched a lot of Indiana Jones; his life was full of excitement
Paleontologist (just like everyone else here!)-because of Jurassic Park
An Alien from Aliens-no joke, have acid blood would have just been the coolest thing ever to me!

I also wanted to be a rock star, an artist, an orchestra conductor, and a super intelligent extra-terrestrial who was invading earth and taking over!

Analyses animal bones from sites. We look at what species were there, how they died/were killed, what diseases they had and why people had them around.

At one point, I wanted to write screenplays and go to hollywood and be a famous director. But everyone told me that I couldn't do that. I was never very encouraged to do anything when I was growing up.

 

04/19/10 2:43 PM

certainly not what i'm doing right now.

 

03/27/12 10:44 AM

Rereading this thread makes me realize that I'm full of failed dreams lol

 

03/27/12 10:33 AM

archeologist: because of tomb raider, until someone told me that its not so exciting in real life...

Game designer: I´ve always wanted to create my own RPG *_*

rock star: damn, I´ve practised singing for sooooo many hours xD



or simply get rich very fast, so that others do the work for me. I´m still hoping for that to happen...
