I wanted to be a mermaid.... or work in a post office. I don't do either.... but the post office still appeals to me... like the organisation aspect of it.

And you?

I voted "Did It" but it's more like "Currently doing it" or "Making plans to do it properly". I said that I wanted to be a writer since about the age of 5, I was a gluttonous reader (still am) and learnt to read when I was 3, wrote endless reams of short stories and poems from the moment I could hold a pencil, and every teacher said that I was going to end up being a writer. Now I am - well, in the embryonic stages of writing my first novel, but I have a degree in creative writing, have published a few short stories and articles, have worked in magazines for the last five years and am taking next year off work to write full-time.

But then, I also recall wanting to be both a dentist and a paleantologist, so could've gone any number of ways!

As long as I can remember I always wanted to work with wood. There was several related trades I was interested in but finally selected cabinet making as it was only a few minutes from home on the push bike. As soon as I started my apprenticeship at school I made the decision to become a cabinet making teacher, only thing was I had to do the five years apprenticeship plus five years in the trade after as well as several other related subjects.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?

Voted for I have plans......

I've always known I wanted to do something related to studying animals, and right now I'm working on my degree in animal biology.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

"Did It" I always wanted to do Theatre. I can't remember a time since I was little that I wasn't doing theatre. Until recently -

Well, wanted to be so many things during my childhood.

But the current plan is to set up my own PA company, which i'm on the way to doing.

Got a lot of equipment so far (including 4 speakers that have been used on a metallica tour ). Putting it on hold for 3 years tho to go to uni and then need to learn to drive so i can get a van!

....hankering! LOL I wanted to deliver babies when I grew up. LOL For as long as I can remember I wanted to be an OB (although not thrilled with the GYN part ). Anyway, my grades in high school were way too crappy to consider med school, not to mention the time constraint (at least 10 years )

I wouldn't mind becoming a nurse-midwife though, I seriously doubt it this late in the game for me, but, never say never.

Why, yes, Wish-Ga...that was my first foray into fish breeding I had tons of platies in my 29 and had to move them to my 55 because they were taking over. I finally got rid of most of 'em, but I did keep to females and two fry (that were too little to catch and ship). I'm now delivering Blue Parrot Variatus platies by the truckload in my 29. I'm going to have to start adoption proceedings pretty soon as there are a lot of fry in there.

"Calling Dr. Crazyred....you're needed in delivery room 29 STAT!!!" LOL

As a kid I wanted to be a dinosaur, but sadly, no amount of stomping around and snarling would make up for my lack of a tail and my primate bone structure.

Then I wanted to be a garbage man because what little boy doesnt like riding on the back of a big truck and throwing around bags of garbage? Plus my great-grandmother told me there was good money in being a garbage man.

As for what happened, let's just say I don't want to meet the little kid who says "When I grow up I want to work in an office in New York City with a painful commute!"

Back in the saddle!

i wanted to play pro ball with the detroit tigers... never came close

I'll say never say never Crazyred! My mother just turned 50, got her degree in Nursing last year and is currently completing a Masters in midwifery. I've never seen her so happy, knowing that she's finally doing something she always wanted to do. Go for it!

Thank you for that just beginning!!! I needed some motivation. I'm only 34 but sometimes it seems impossible to go back to school. I wil never say never again!! i wish your Mom the best of luck and I know she will enjoy delivering those babies.
