    I wanted to be a ballerina at first, then later on I wanted to be a famous pianist. I took lessons between 6 and 14 years old, I still play for pleasure but I could never be a famous musician because my hands are too small for the keyboard

    At first, I wanted to be a vet, but then I wanted to be a writer.

    I never really had my heart set on a any perticular job at all when i was younger. I always remember just wanting to stay as happy as I was at that point! And I'd say I pretty much am. Although now I know I want a career in Civil Eng!

    When I was maybe 7-years-old I wanted to be a viking or a samurai. I was incredibly disappointed when I learned that was not an option.

    Same. Life consisted of endless games and I simply lived for the moment. I couldnt care less for the future, in my head I always wondered why everyone thought so much about the future, it would come soon anyway, so you will know when you are there but thought about the past way too much, I would play one moment in my head constantly and what I did and I should have done.

    I had no true aspirations. Still take things in as it comes tbh.

    From the age of about 8 I always wanted to be one of those dancers that play a disney princess at disney world, florida. Just smiling, dancing, making kids happy... I still kinda think it would be a pretty good job, Snow White would be great for me

    Meh, I'm glad I went for medicine.

    I had no idea then, and I have no idea now.

    I thought for a long time about becoming a software engineer, glad I decided against that - I ****ing hate computers now, but I was interested in them when I was younger. I thought a lot about joining the military, decided against that, that could still be an option to me. Worked some **** jobs, decided to go to University, now I still have no idea, and I'm in a dead end job.

    A dinosaur hunter.

    Failing that an astronaut.
    On my way to getting a physics degree but I'm more interested in computer simulation than astronomy.

    A police officer, because I'd be able to own a gun.
