I want to become a guy who posts in other regions threads. Noooo... That one looks to have been taken too. How about a guy broadcasting himself in another regions forums. Darn! That's gone too!

Had NO idea ....just wanted to get through high school! After that I had absolutely no idea! It is one of those things that "I wish I knew then what I know now". That is one thing that I did give my kids. Every day I told them that they could be anything they wanted to be. Just set a point and make it happen. And if it doesn't, you got a lot further than your mom did...don't sit crying in your soup....go on an make another goal....never give up...never be afraid....never listen to those who tell you ...you can't.

^^^^^^^^^^ speaking as someone who knows their mom..............I'd say you have come further than most and your kids should be proud. Ryn48=epitome of class, grace, style - not to mention-friendly, considerate, non-judmental, open-minded, intelligent and fun-loving.

.....I think every parent wants their kids to go further, do more, see more, be happier and more well-adjusted, be more successful, etc, etc. etc....Geez!!! I guess you are normal (heaven forbid lol).

O/T ... I wanted to be an orthodontist, and a snowbird pilot or skyhawk parachutist! (may not have those careers but I HAVE got a pilot's licence and I HAVE been skydiving 3 times so I guess I fulfilled some of my dreams to a somewhat altered extent)

A tennis player. Then a figure skater. An architect. A programmer. An engineer. Professor in Computer Science. A doctor. A satellitist who supplies couture.

I see the fascination and detail in everything, so it's been really hard for me to decide to find THE thing and work towards it. I want to know it all. I only figured out what I really wanted to do last year.

I wanted to be the guy who drove the little snowplow along the sidewalks. Come to think of it, I STILL want to be that guy. No stress...just me and the sidewalk. One with each other. Balance and harmony in my universe. The sound of one hand clapping (without having to flush the toilet or turn on the shower *wink wink, nudge nudge*)

My life would have been whole.

When you were growing up, did you have a vision of what you wanted to be, what you wanted to do with your life? Or did you not know what you wanted to be or do? Did you have a dream and change it? Did you grow up to be what you wanted to be?


I wanted to be a mommy. I was 5 when my grandfather asked me that question. He told me it was a really good thing to aspire too. Now, I am one.

A veterinarian. Then I discovered you had to have better marks than being a doctor to get into the school. So then I wanted to be a veterinary assistant, but on the first day of college discovered I would be 100% employable as a lab tech whereas according to the department head only 5% of the vet assistant wanna-bees got jobs in their fields.

As a child I wanted to be an artist, and in that regard I did satisfy some of that by designing and building stained glass for others.

At another time I wanted to be a biologist/herpetologist/entomologist, and in many regards I have learned about the environment, plants/birds/animals/insects/reptiles by being involved with wildlife, collecting, having exotic pets and reading a lot of books and going to seminars/lectures on them. Along those lines I almost changed careers and went into renewable resources (forest ranger) in my late 20's.

Cheers!

I wanted Michael Knite's job.

I didn't want to be the Hoff or anything, but I wanted to have a job where I'd drive around in a cool, super-fast car that could talk and also do jumps with the touch of a button and solve crimes for some kind of private company that doesn't seem to answer to any higher authority.

I checked the Free Press classifieds this morning.

Still, no such job postings :(

I wanted to be a politician/lawyer thanks to my mother and teachers. I had all these wonderful ideas of changing the world and making a difference. Getting paid to argue and debate was just a bonus feature.

Then, I wanted to be a scientist of some kind. I wanted to find out why things did the things they did...

Then in my 20's and still to this day, I'd like to be a conservation officer. Something about being paid to be out at the lake all summer is very appealing.

Come to think of it, do I have to grow up at all ? I'd like to live something like the way that babies do. In fact, sometimes I do but nobody ever claps for me and says "Who's a good boy !??!" all excited-like when I crap my pants. It's such a double standard I tell you.
