What did you want to be when you were a kid, how much has that changed?

then: Diamond miner :D

now: animal caretaker




(I'm only seventeen, so I still haven't started a steady career yet. I'm thinking of Physicist. Something with numbers :D)

Well, I wanted to be a truck driver, chemist, and banker. Now I want to be a psychologist.

When I was young, I wanted to be a bus driver.

I still want to be a bus driver.

First it was a zookeeper, then veterinarian, then sled dog racer, then manga artist.

Now I have no career plan.

Well, what do you like to do?

5-8 years old - a palaeontologist
8-12 years old - a writer
12-14 years old - my lost years
14-17 years old - mathematician
18-20 years old - more lost years
20-present - accountant

The manga artist thing still sounds really appealing actually, but I've heard it's a difficult business to break into, and I'm worried that my art isn't good enough.

ooo, my dad's family is from Idaho :D I live in Alaska.

I used to want to be a firefighter :D I like fires.

You have family in Idaho? That's awesome!

Hehe, my brother likes fires too, though he plans on joining the Marine Corps when he's old enough.

I think you're just being too hard on yourself.

yup. :D Post Falls. :D by the name of "Hardin".

it's his side that I get the Autism from.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor. Now I'm not sure exactly what I want to do. I am in Simulation and Game Design but I'm finding it isn't all it's cracked up to be. I wanted to story board but they're making me do programming which I am not good with at all.

I didn't waste my time though, I got an English and Gen. Psych out of the way.

good for you! you seem like a very driven individual. :D

Funny you say that, because today I've felt like my life has no direction or purpose. I could just be having an off day though.

I wanted to be an ice cream man, when I was 5.

I wanted to be a wife, at the age of 7.

I wanted to be a map maker, at the age of 10.

I wanted to be a politician, at the age of 12.

I wanted to be a Rock star, at the age of 14.

The ages 15 and 16, were my lost years.

I wanted to be a hippie artist, at the age of 17.

I was working in a factory, between the ages 20 and 23.

I wanted to work with animals, at the age of 24, and I still do. :O)
