What did you want to be?

Thread Starter 
What job did you want before you settled into/ started training for whichever job you're currently in? Just out of curiosity!

I wanted to be a designer but ended up studying drama instead of textiles because of how the timetables at school fell. Luckily I adored my drama group, developed a love for production and decided I'd like to do makeup for theatre instead

Before that I wanted to be a vet (naturally) haha.

Re: What did you want to be?

I'm only 22 so I suppose I could do anything at this point, but up until now, I've wanted to be a vet, a travel guide, a teacher, a biologist, a translater/interpreter, sales assistant in a clothes store and a make up artist.

I'm one of those silly people who are interested in everything. I am studying languages at Uni though.

-> one messed up kid here <-

Re: What did you want to be?

I went to school for drafting for 4 years, and decided that I really wanted to be doing hair and makeup. The same time I realized my passion, my dad bought a sign company and gave it to me to run. Didn't know a thing about the business and was extremely intimidated at first, but It's been 6 months now and I love it. I get to play with graphic designing and make some pretty cool things.

Re: What did you want to be?

when i was younger i wanted to be a vet but because i get so upset over sick animals thought it wouldn't be the best idea! then i decided that i wanted to be a journalist and did that at uni. half way through my course i relaised even though i was good at journalism i bloody hated it!!! so i left and worked in a costa coffee as assistant manager. i then decided i wanted to be a manager but in a sales enviroment. when at uni i'd had a part time sales job at an electronics store and loved it! i landed a job as a sales manager selling fridge freezers and i don't know why i was called a manager because it was only me!!! however after a year i got bored and then landed my dream job as manager of a sony centre. sales and cool gadgets to play with!!

Re: What did you want to be?

In 6th grade I job shadowed my school counselor because I wanted to be a therapist.

Oddly enough that is what I am now!

Kinda weird to think that I knew what I wanted to do so young and stuck with it!

A ballerina. Which is what I am now, go figure lol! I feel like a little girl still. Except when we do really intense, dramatic ballets where I have to commit suicide via ballet. Then I feel not so little girl.

my patients wouldn't even need anesthesia. Once they see their doctor coming at them with bright purple lips, they'd probably pass out.

Re: What did you want to be?

I wanted to be a singer.. make a living out if it.. did not happened beacause my music was not commercial enough for the record companies but I am who I am... I did not want to be another singer from the bunch... so I am a prek teacher but right now I am at home taking care of my 9 month old son!!

I'm still singing though... at my church and I love it!! and I even started writing again but for Jesus.. I think this is what he wanted from me.. that's why he did not let the other stuff happen..;-)

I wanted to be a Fashion Designer and Philanthropist!

I'm a Lab Technician for pay, but I design and sew clothes for pleasure. As for the philanthropy, I donate my time and money to local schools and area homeless charities.

I so wanted to own a bakery/candy store with ice cream and lots of incredible tasty things. After I retire from ballet (e.g. at age 35...) I so want to do that. If I have money. Which I probably will not. *dreams of selling chocolates, but actually eating them herself*

Forensics either pathology or psychology, or medical examiner. I found the mechanics / mechanisms behind the WAY people die fascinating.

Re: What did you want to be?

I wanted to be a psychologist, but then slowly switched my mind to Web Design, which is what im in college for right now (digital media design) I could'nt really imagine doing anything else, oh i also contimplated on being a chef cause i like to cook, i think if my web design went out the window, my next choice now, would probably be interior design.

Re: What did you want to be?

When I was little I wanted to sing professionally..but to quote Justin Suarez from Ugly Betty "things like that don't happen to people like us".

But now i'm going to be studying Business Management and Marketing. The ultimate goal is to own a fashion boutique one day, collaborating with small time fashion labels, independent fashion labels and so on.
I'd also like to own a patisserie lol.

Re: What did you want to be?

I wanted to be a singer in a cool cheesy pop girl band…

But then I grew up and wanted to be a kick-ass, stiletto City girl (IT job) – which I did/am (not sure about kick-ass tho), and then discovered MAC and wanted to be a MAC MUA – and now that I’ve ticked that off – I wanna be Christina Agulieras MUA. Or Victoria Beckhams...

When I was 12/13 I wanted to be a lawyer and then I was clueless for a while. Then I wanted to study graphic design - and I did that.
I am a happy Graphic Designer now and addicted to vectors and pixels.

Re: What did you want to be?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has had quite a long list As a child I wanted to be an actress but by time I was 11 I got terrible stage fright and have since considered psychology, journalism, public relations, forensic archaeology, writer, image consultant, interior designer and travel agent. Now doing law degree with no idea whether to be a barrister or an academic but atleast I'm in the right area now.
