I've always wanted to be a writer.

When I was younger I once told my Aunt that I wanted to be a part-time astronaut and a part-time vet
In high school I wanted to be a Forensic Investigator, now I'm going to be a teacher, heh.

I really don't remember what I wanted to be when I was little. Probably a teacher as that's what my mom was, or an interior designer becuase I was forever decorating and redecorating my Barbie house. I went to college not really knowing what I wanted to major in, but thought maybe I would get a secondary education degree so I could teach high school. I got into Journalism after the death of Princess Diana (I remember sitting in the computer lab in my dorm late at night and reading all the articles online and thinking how cool it was that people got to disseminate information around the world like that) and stuck with it because it was easy (though maybe not necessarily what I wanted to do). Now that I've been out of school for a few years, I've realized I like the writing and layout aspects of my job (the creative parts), but not much else. What I would really like to do is work on higher education -- as an adviser, as a program manager, as something -- and maybe even eventually get my doctorate and become a professor.

When I was 5 - a pediatrician
When I was 10 - an actress
When I was 15 - a musician
When I was 18 & 19 - a VH1 VJ because the parents said I needed a backup plan to the musician thing
When I was 20, 21, & 22 - an FBI/CIA agent, a war correspondant, or a lawyer
When I was 23 - a lawyer
Presently - I have found my niche wanting to be a record label owner someday. It combines the legal, communications, and the music. Maybe now I'll be happy!

At 10, I decided to be a stockbroker and that was my goal. LOL
I a currently a financial analyst so I did end up working in some financial capacity.

I didn't know
When I was asked that question, I had NO IDEA.
I remember once saying that I wanted to be a firefighter....I wanted to help people. My Dad's response: "No daughter of mine will be a firefighter" So of course, that hasn't happened.
At another time I wanted to a lawyer, a teacher, then in sixth grade I decided:

In college, I figured Mass Communications would be a great major to get a job...HA! Still looking. I knew I wanted to write but I wasn't focused on what type of writing.
At least now, I know that I want to be children's author. When I apply to grad school(this summer), my focus will be creative writing/fiction.

I wanted to be a singer until I was about 10, then I wanted to be a vet, then at 12 I wanted to be an OB/GYN, then at 15 I wanted to be an adolescent therapist, and at 17 entered school working towards Christian Counseling...
Now, I'm running out of the computer room to go wrestle the bottle of "bubbles" from my nephew who is undoubtedly soaping up the kitchen....*madly dashes away*

When I was in elementary school I wanted to be a jockey, but then when I realized I was going to be too tall for that, I decided that I was going to be a Radio City Music Hall Rockette. Unfortunately, I didn't get tall enough for that, so then in middle school and high school I dreamed of being a really famous author a la Danielle Steele. (Hey, I could write that sort of drivel in my sleep...) Or an artist, even though I don't really think the whole starving-genius-who-lives-in-a-crummy-studio thing would work for me. I'm working on my master's in Education right now, but I still haven't put the author/artist idea on hold...

In grade school I alternated between wanted to be a teacher then a "boss" (what ever that meant, I just knew I wanted to tell people what to do)
In the 5th grade I met a black woman who was an electrical engineer and I said I wanted to be that for a long time. When I realized what EEs really did, I changed it to "banker" because I loved money lol I interviewed with several banks right before graduating from college, and was even offered a job with one (what is now Wacovia after several mergers of course) but I turned it down to take another job.
I now work in HR (well, I would if I had a job! I had an interview on Monday though, and another scheduled for Thursday, so if you believe in the power of prayer, send one up for me!)

Back in Kindergarden apparently my only answer to what I wanted to be when I grew-up was "Rich"...

the first woman on Mars. Not 1st person, 1st woman. Thereby, if a man went first and didnt make it, Id change my mind.
When I turned 12 is when physics starts getting taught in my elementary school but then the school was on strike for about 3 months so I never learned it, thus, the end of the dream.
