Nope not at all. But yeah now I'm studying politics so my life didn't exactly go that way!


It never really does! If only there were jobs in Paleontology! :cool:

I got obsessed about Egyptian history too, it was so cool. I was amazed at the traditions they had like mummification! If only there were lots of jobs in the area!

All I've ever wanted to be is a doctor ):
At first I wanted to be a police officer, then I wanted to be a paramedic and now for the last few years I've wanted to be a nurse and it looks like I'll be taking a big step towards doing that come September :smile:
I just wanted to be the very best, like no one ever was.
To catch them was my real test, but to train them was my cause.

I wanted to be just like Ash! Then I grew up :'(
I wanted to be a doctor, specifically a surgeon...(probz positive reinforcement from parents) and now I'm studying economics :smile:

I wanted to be a taxidermist at one point and it went to the extremity of gutting teddy-bears (which actually belonged to my cousin) of their stuffing and replacing it with different wool :colone:

I remember my mam asking why I always took so long to shower. I never told her I'd clean the bath pretending I was Cinderella slaving away all day, waiting for Prince Charming or whoever :yep:

Another included a mermaid and I would subsequently wander around the house, wiggling my ar*e in a poor imitation of swimming :cool:

That certainly is a strange aspiration! Never heard that one. Do you still want to be? :confused: :smile:

Fair enough! What about when you were REALLY young? Or did you want to be a doctor from a really early age? :smile:

I wanted to be an actual Pokemon. God, how times haven't changed...
When I realised it wasn't possible, that's when my heart was ripped out... )":

No offence, but after reading this, I feel like I was a less strange child. (':
THIS IS EPIC!
I bet your mum was chuffed too, having you clean out the bath so often. (':
You sound like you were such a cute child, bless! I wish none of us had to focus on growing up, and these aspirations were possible. Being a mermaid would be so cool.
As for a taxidermist, maybe not for me. :tongue:

Times change! Economics is a really respectable field though, so kudos!
