Me too.  Then I decided I wanted to be a writer.. then a psychologist and now a psychiatrist. All career choices I'd consider and enjoy though. Mhm.

A physicist! (I was an odd child).
After much deliberation I'm going into electronics, so not much of a change there!

When I was really young, I remember wanting to be a firefighter, police officer, singer, actor, and paleontologist. As I got a bit older, I wanted to be a writer or a vet. Now, I still can't decide if I want to be a biotechnician, some sort of linguist, or a psychiatrist.

I'm not sure that as a little kid I ever wanted to be a certain profession. I never really poured my heart into much of anything until I was about in middle school, at which point I either wanted to be a vet or play music.
Since then, I've moved on from the vet thing  But I still want to be a musician. lol I'm not sure I'll grow out of that one.
Is it unlikely to want to be a professional zombie hunter?
Take me seriously.
I dare you.

Hah, I've yet to grow out of that one But at least now I'm thinking of backup plans that shouldn't be... too awful. Studio artist, guitar store, writer... So not great options, but options none the less
Take me seriously.

I wanted to be an architect, but I didn't realize how much work was involved and how underappreciated the profession was.

Lets see, When I was really little I wanted to be a singer or actress. Then I realized I sucked, so I gave up on that xD
Then i decided that i wanted to own a horse farm, so i could raise and train horses. And also help rescued and abused horses. It was a really big dream of mine to get a farm like that, and really do that. But then life completely changed and i started to do less and less with horses.
Then I decided i wanted to teach Wilderness skills, like survival skills for out in the woods. Which is what i actually do as a job right now, that and i help my mom teach another class.
But then i realized what i really want to become, is a paid firefighter and that is what i am working towards right now. It is something i really love and i can really see myself doing.

I could never make my mind up
first i was dead set on being an astronaut then realised that it just wasn't going to happen so i decided to stick with the flying theme and become a helicopter pilot with the police.
then i just wanted to be a regular police officer then a mental health nurse then a regular nurse then an art therapist then a nursary nurse then i had no ambition whatsoever and now i want to be a police woman

Wanted to be an Air Force pilot, but I have sub-par vision and Sept. 11th really got to me.
I'm working on a biology degree and hope my hard work pays off and I get into/through medical school. I want to be an oncologist.
If it doesn't work out I'll join the military or CIA.

It varied while I was growing up. At first I had my heart set on being a veterinarian but then I did some work experience and decided no. I thought about becoming a doctor but knew I didn't have the grades to do that.
I thought about becoming a teacher and actually went and spent four years of University for that, but decided no way in hell.
Now I am on my way to becoming an EMT, I just hope I don't back out of this as well.

I wanted to be a scientist when I was younger. Now, I want to be a computer programmer, then I'm thinking
singer, because I usually sing everyday, and I love doing it. It gives an amazing feeling to me.

I wanted to do a lot of things.
artist,singer,writer,a shrink even, i wanted to be a fashion designer too,which i'm getting close to.
lately i wanted to be a travel agent,the dream lasted for 8 beautiful months till my friends spoiled it. Today, i am very confused about it...
i wish this was 17th century when Picasso did. Cause i wanted to make but he got to it 1st. and truly,every plain, but unique, art he made was a masterpiece,maybe not while he lived but he is sure remembered.
I have a weird mind,don't I?
Any way,that is just a dream.
if you ask me what i DON'T wanna be...
i hate banks and money...
you get the point.
I moved back while
my head was turned.
Upside down
closer to the end.
Afraid of the dark
within future times.
I'm drowning there,

I at one point wanted to be an undertaker. I then wanted to go into missions in Africa for a time. For a while I wanted to serve either as a policewoman, in the army or as a CO.
Now I either want to own my own business or go into missions

I wanted to be a Writer when I grew up. But things changed and I learned a new language. I sucked at writing in English. Not the spelling but the grammar. Then I found out my brother wrote better than me. So then I wanted to be either an actor for the fame and cool things you get to do or a soccer player. Couldn't be an actor because well, I never tried. I live in a rural place in middle of nowhere. And the soccer thing takes a lot of dedication (I wanted to be a Goalkeeper)... so now I'm just a web developer.

When I was five I wanted to be a princess. That dream was short lived when I realized that they weren't like Cinderella at all.
For the ages of six to eight, I wanted to be a nurse. When I was almost nine I realized that I hate blood(wonders falling and scraping your knee does for you ).
From the time I was nine, until the time that I was almost ten, I wanted to be a teacher.
At ten I wanted to be a rock star. I can't remember why(though only three years) I would ever want that.
When I was eleven I wanted to be a singer and an actress. I love both, but rather not be famous.
When I was twelve I wanted to be an author, and now I'm thirteen and I still do. Writing is my entire life. But, when I can, I would like to go to school to become an elementary school music teacher.

uhmm... from a young age I wanted to become a lawyer
then it was a doctor...
then a wedding planner...
then a psychiatrist...
then a doctor again...
there's a few careers that I am still kind of mulling over..
I would love to be an author.. but I just don't think I have enough talent and patience for it.
Also being a member of parliament has always been a sort of dream of mine

Well. I could have been a lawyer (and potentially I still could, but no). I want to be a childs nurse or a midwife or a paramedic or to specialise in teaching children with disabilities.
