Are you in the job you wanted when you were a kid?

Were you a kid that knew what you wanted to be when you grew up? I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be.


What job did you want as a kid and what are you doing now?|||sort of


one time when I was insane I wanted to be a lawyer


I got over it


now that I'm insane again I just work for one and I'm not even a paralegal I've just been here forever


one time I wanted to be a ballerina and live in new york i'm way far from that


one time I wanted to be an astronaut


one time I wanted to be a marine biologist


now I don't want to be here but right now my real job is a mommy and this place is the best to be for it now. I'd like to have a job where I felt like I made a difference in someones life like I helped someone.|||Lol, I wanted to be an astronaut.





I am a geographer.





But hey I like what I do.|||NO,





I wanted to be a cartoonist, or an Indy driver, But was discouraged by my parents on both of those,





Im a loan oficer now and its good work but not for me for much longer,|||I wanted to be a ballerina and an artist.





I am a graphic designer, and I love my job, even though it is very different than the glorified romantic version of being an artist that I held as a kid.





I did not become a ballerina. I found out it is much more than just showing up in a tutu...|||I wanted to work in a music store (sell musical inst) and I have been managing a pawnshop for most of my adult life. So I guess yes, I get to play alot of cool instruments and My personal collection of guitars has grown to over 100. So I guess my answer is yes|||Actually, I am. I think that most of the time the term doctor, lawyer, etc. or put into a child's head early on. When I was younger I wanted to become a teacher, and now I am a third grade teacher. Although, I am in grad school for counselor education I think that I am still fulfilling my childhood dream.|||The job/jobs I always wanted as a kid was to be a psychologist or work with animals. As I got older I still wanted to work with animals but also began to find my artistic side. I now at 36 am a Graphic Artist and have lots of pets. So I do not think most people do what they thought as a child.|||i don't have a job now........so i want my first job........anyway i am an engineer and when i was kid i wanted to be a doctor|||No I am currently not, but I'm working towards it... I want to be a Nurse and I start school in the fall for it now. :) currently I'm a paper pusher who destroys the rain forest with paperwork it seems... Good luck! :)|||No. In fact, I don't think I had dreams of being anything when I was a kid.





I'm a geophysicist in the oil industry now. I'm still not sure what I want to be but while I'm figuring it out, I'll swim around in those oil company profits.|||the job i wanted as a child was an accountant. in college i took accounting and that quicly changed. i am in sales and thet suits my personality more now. i was in the shadows of my twin brother growing up so when i moved away i developed my own personality. sales is my nitche and i'm really good at it. its not what i wanted as a kid but its what i want now. $$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!|||I'm still a kid - if being a kid means being under 21 :) . It seems as if I've always wanted to be a physician and am still working towards that goal. Many people think that choosing a career is the same as finding the key to becoming financially successful, devoting the least amount of time and effort. While I'm not an expert in these matters, I believe that these people are misguided and base the rest of their lives on what is most convenient rather than what would give them the most satisfaction. Be honest to yourself and do whatever you think will make you happiest. Consider the different aspects of each potential job (required personality traits, average income, stress level, possibility of advancement, etc.) and weigh its advantages and disadvantages according to what's most important to you. How old are you? You probably still have time before you have to make a decision. In the meanwhile, discover your interests and don't worry, everything will fit together eventually.
