Doctor Amos Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I didn't find my calling until quite recently. My lack of direction was quite a problem, really. I suppose I wanted to be in the film industry when I was younger, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Amos Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I wanted to be a paleontologist but instead I became an Archaeologist! funny how things end up Archeologist, eh? In England? How exciting. I have family and an ex that do the acheology thing, it's all very exciting. I can't even immagine being in a country with stuff that can date back past the 1650's.

Rage Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I was torn as a wee lad over what I wanted to be. I think it came down to the garbage truck guy or the Easter Bunny. Pretty sure the latter is still my #1 favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiZombie Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Um i know i don't want to be a paramedic. I think i want to be blissfully happy when i grow up or maybe a pharmacist in Hawaii.... When i was a kid i wanted to be an artist though, i was doing great right up until i graduated college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I think I actually wanted to be a Bus Driver. (City buses, not the school bus kind) Then I found out they had to take drug tests... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 When I was a toddler, I wanted, too, to become an archeologist. Now I wish I would have become an astronaut (or even more rad, a cosmonaut) instead. Became neither, though. Forever embittered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Im 31 and I still dont know. I just work to pay bills so I can take care of my kiddos and enjoy being a gamer. I ever get to meet Eric I will have to bug him to tell me about how awsome it is to get to work in gameing. You know why adults ask little kids what they want to be when they grow up right? They are looking for ideas Edited March 3, 2011 by tadaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Dog Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 First I wanted to be a fireman, until I realised I am really scared of heights. Then I wanted to be a train driver, until I realised that the pay was rubbish and modern trains are nowhere near as cool as steam trains. Then I wanted to be a farmer, but then I realised it was really hard work and I don't have a farm. I like your quote Tadaka, I may have to start using that. And I can't help but think of the phrase, "I'm not growing up, I'm growing sideways" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkeyKungFu Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I wanted to be a paleontologist but instead I became an Archaeologist! funny how things end up My Girlfriends Cousin did Archaeology at university, she is now a Sales Rep at Nestle... I always wanted to be a fighter pilot. I was doing it all the way through uni building up for it but the useless guys at the careers office neglected to inform me all those years ago that because I had asthma briefly at a very early age I was not going to be able to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even immagine being in a country with stuff that can date back past the 1650's. the oldest stuff i have handled was late neolithic but i spent alot of time excavating medieval sites. My most recent was a lepar hospital. Lots of skeletal remains and a skull buried very close to the topsoil. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 When I was a kid my occupation of choice changed...... daily.... I always wanted to drive a Zamboni.... And I craved adventure... That's why they wouldn't let be into the Jedi Academy.... As far as "when I grow up"... well, I'm screwed on that one... don't plan on growing up any time soon.

DangerousBeans Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 When I was really wee I wanted to be Indiana Jones. When I was old enough to see sense I had my heart set on being an illustrator but that never really took off. Pretty happy when I've ended up though, and I still get to draw as part of my job. So that's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
