What did you aspire to be when you were young?

I can't really remember, but my brother went through phases of wanting to be:

- A police dog
- A police horse
- A fire engine


Seriously.
He was a lot older than you'd expect someone wanting these careers to be. :rolleyes:
:tongue:



I did want to be a pokemon at one point. Yes, you read correctly, not a pokemon master like Ash, Brock or Misty, but a POKEMON, like Pikachu.
Ah, aspirations!

That would be so cool! :wink:
I think I went through a phase like that. I blame Jurassic park!
I vaguely remember wishing for a pet dinosaur. Oh, my 4-year-old odd mind!
Grave digger
Lion
Dinosaur.

And later on:
Rock star
Footballer.

Same! Not so much that I get to gift money to toothless kids, but, the being-able-to-fly bit is pretty awesome.

I went through phases of aspiring to different careers, though the main professions were a lawyer or actress.
Zoologist for the largest part of my life, then I realised I had to be good at science, and threw away the idea.
I wanted to be :

an author
an archaeologist
a zoologist
an air traffic controller


My daughter (who is 6) wants to be an astronaut. When she was 3 she wanted to be a primary school teacher.

My son (who is 4) wants to be a train driver...but he also wants to be Ben 10, and a dinosaur, and spiderman, and sticky boy (his own superhero invention lol).

My other son (who is 2) wants to be a train driver as well.
When I was about 4, I wanted to be a clown. I took it far too seriously and would only answer to the name "Coco" for a few months.

Then I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I was really serious about that one, I was a little dino expert :yep:

Anything that pays the bills and isn't soul destroying and gives me time to pursue music on the side.
An Artist.
