What did you want to be when you grew up?
Let's go for an age of around 4-8, what did you want to work as when you were an adult? What are you actually working as now (or working toward)?
When I was very little, around 6-7 I wanted to be a writer. Age 9 or 10 I wanted to be Jane Goodall lol :) Now I'm working towards being either a park ranger or wildlife rehabilitater.
@mimameid
Whoa, I also wanted to be a writer that early! Before I could write, I wanted to be a baker. The writer thing I figured was unrealistic, so I thought maybe I should rather become a teacher or something, lol... I actually ended up getting paid for working at a bakery, for my own baked goods, for some sort of teaching, and for some writing, so yay I guess... Now I'm working on fixing the issues that prevent me from functioning, from using my potential and from keeping a job in the longer run. 
@hereigoagain Sounds like you managed to achieve your childhood dreams though which is amazing!
@SpiritedShaye
...For a short while before I regressed, which is depressing... but yeah.
@hereigoagain Regardless you did well, and you're working on yourself to better yourself now which is amazing :)
@SpiritedShaye
Thank you for your support ;)
@mimameid Ah wow that's so cool!
When I was in elementary school, I wanted to become a vet since I loved animals. Then in middle school I wanted to become a psychologist since my mother recently passed away due to her bipolar disorder (then I took Psychology in high school and thought it wasn't concrete enough). At the moment, I'm in college studying Computer Science since I recently became interested in operating systems (especially Linux!) I might change my mind again in the future, but as of right now I really like computers and analytical stuff.
@uselesscookies Wow lots of changes but great that you've found something you love!
As most children that age I wanted to be a lot of things. I wanted to be a singer, a veterinarian, a fashion designer and animator. I sometimes thought about Civil Engenieering but I don't have enough stamina so I threw the idea away.
I'm currently studying Animation and VFX and I'm still very fond to Fashion Design that sometimes I think about switching careers (but it'd be a hassle).
Thanks to my 8-9 y.o. self I learned how to make my own clothes through sewing and knitting, which I really really enjoy a lot, as well as video editing and drawing.
@ILikeRaccons Wow that's incredible that you followed through with it though!
I wanted to be an archaeologist
@Bonnes That's pretty cool..what are you now?
@SpiritedShaye I am studying Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Engineering :)
@Bonnes ah wow that's very different but so interesting!
I always wanted to be a ghost because of the movie Casper.. Getting older, I realized I still wanted to be a ghost but in some other reasons now... 👻👻👻
