What did you want to be as a child?

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, I couldn't really get a good search going without the search being to cluttered. (Ok so I was too lazy to check all the pages)

I wanted to be a diplomat. I once resolved some playground turf issues for me and my homeboys and the teacher said I was a true diplomat so I asked around and it seemed pretty cool. I stuck with that idea until really late. I guess it's not your typical childhood profession, but I wasn't a typical child either. (Recently my mother told me they were very concerned about me during my childhood. Apparently during breaks I used to collect the used tyres and stack them up, then climb inside them and chill there until break was over.)

Anyways, what profession did you want to be as a child? Fireman, policeman, astronaut or maybe even something else?

A punk rockstar with a Mohawk. Then I went through a period where I didn't think about the future, and after that I settled on my final decision in middle school.

True story bro.

I always wanted to be a pilot when i was young , but some how this whole idea changed as i grow up .

This one day i saw this bird's nest on the ground all torn up from the wind , so i went inside my house & started building a wooden home for it . from that day long i always knew i want to be an engineer :D Truth is i always wanted to be an engineer for the same 4 reason every one wants to Chicks, money, power, and chicks (i know how can you say engineer & chicks but since money directly affects the number of chicks who come sniffing around..... ).

well .. . . . i'm living my dream , only 2 months till graduation :)

Everything and nothing.

My 'dreamjob' was something else every week but it was never something I really wanted to do.

Firefighter, policeman, lawyer, astronaut; children dreams but without the heart :P

The only thing I really wanted was to be a sniper or hitman I think.

I liked sneaking and spying and always played sniper with friends.

hiding in the bushes with fake guns shooting pedestrians and shit.

that's Alienware thing as XNA is developed by Microsoft made for Windows and xbox 360. so basically XNA will take over.

The president. I thought if I was the president I could do whatever I want and just tell people what to do.

Also a lawyer because, according to my parents, I always had a very convincing argument whenever I argued with them when I was young.

Then I want to be a helicopter pilot, don't know why, but helicopters fascinated me when I was around 10 years old.

I changed my mind several times, almost every subject could take my interest, but liked animals and biology the most. In High I wanted to be a psychologist, but when I started to learn first-aid and saw a dissection in real I felt like I must be a doctor or a veterianman... now I have degree in healthcare and going to finish my agricultural studies soon, worked in both fields but still not satisfied. Actually I studied what my dream was but still not on the degree I planned, I stayed close to my early conception.
