We all wonder about what it would be like to be something/someone else from time to time. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my future and the career path I would like to pursue, but all the practical planning I've done has made my mind wander towards what I would have wanted to do if everything in my life had went as planned.

If the cards all played out right I think I would have ended up becoming a professional classical and jazz pianist.

What about you guys?

I'd be a folk and/or punk singer if I could deal with the environment and was lucky and forceful enough. In other words, no chance. :D

I'm back to thinking I should be an entrepreneur. I've come to the conclusion that if I stay motivated I can be successful, especially since it's pretty evident from recent personal experience that most people get bored of these things too easily and wouldn't bother running a business for longer than a month.

So, if everything goes to plan, I'll be the next Richard Branson :D

My ideal job would be working at Disney World/Land dressed up as Alice. If my family and I ever moved to California, that's exactly what I would do.

I'd run an animal rescue shelter. I love animals, it's just a shame I'm allergic to most of them which kinda puts the knackers on that idea.

Well I am still young, but I know I am not pretty enough or not insanely talented enough to be a singer. However, I think many of the professions are open to me if I try hard enough. I hope to become an engineer, artist, and/or a sign language interpreter.

i'd be getting a job at either Valve, BioWare or Square Enix, helping along those epic computer games they put onto the game store shelves.

Alternatively, i'd go with Bunneth's dream of running an animal shelter, I love animals as well, and I've always thought of it as a good job when I get old :D

A third dream of mine is to open a computer store, possibly even a chain of computer stores where the staff actually knows a thing or two about computers... IMO too many computer stores today have those clerks that barely know what a computer is except for a shiny box with a button on it :D

When I was little I wanted to be a comedian or a singer. But I have lots of anxiety issues, have problems talking & pronouncing things correctly at times, have problems focusing ect. I think it would be awesome to be some kind of assistant to a singing comedian but I'm not going to get my hopes up & invest my energy into trying to pursue it but if I'm lucky enough to meet one; I'll ask :wink:
I also kind of would of liked to of been a VJ for MTV 10+ years ago when MTV actually had music stuff. I actually bought Jesse Camp's CD; he's the guy who won MTV's 1st I Wanna Be A VJ Contest :arrow:

I never had a game-plan for things & rite now I just want to find something I can do fairly well & not be under a lot of stress or pressure but I've been unemployed for a couple years now
