Just remembered, I went through a phase of wanting to be Rolf Harris because I loved Animal Hospital so much.
Not too sure why I wanted to be Rolf and not just a vet..

Anyway, I also took that one quite seriously, and would quite earnestly say "The poor little blighter" if I saw an ill / injured animal.

An air hostess or a hairdresser. I think my parents were quite upset by it.

I wouldn't be suprised if Connexions told someone that it is possible to be a police dog/ police horse/ fire engine, to be honest.

I was a worryingly ambitious 6 year old...

When I was really young (4 onwards) I wanted to become a police officer, so that I'd be able to own a gun. As I got older (7 onwards), I wanted to be a gynaecologist (the less said about that, the better).

Specifically, I also wanted to work with Rolf Harris on Animal Hospital, and also Steve Irwin on Crocodile Hunter :yep:

And yet I do not really know what I want to do with my life. Looks like I'm the road to being a Biologist at the moment though!

I wanted to be a dustbin-man, and in my spare time I would play the triangle.

Happy.

I always thought working on tills would be lots of fun. The scanning and beeping, the buttons on the till, counting out money ... :biggrin:

I wanted to be an archaeologist. Am now at uni doing an archaeology degree :h:

I think at one point I wanted to be an author, archaeologist and architect all at the same time. Not sure how I planned on balancing that one out.

Being an astronaut dominated most of my childhood aspirations, although time traveller and writer have also been pretty big chunks of my aspirations. Now I want to be a solicitor and perhaps write in my time off as a hobby.
