what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an Aromatherapist but fell into secretarial work instead.

Random question I know, was just wondering how many people got into their chosen careers and how many fell into something else.

i was 5 when i first said i wanted to be a zoologist
then i wanted to be a psychiatrist but stopped saying that when people started drawing cartoons of me, sat behind a doctors desk with a jesters hat on.
i did biology and animal behaviour, then worked in telly, then worked in womens magazines, now i work in landscape architecture but now im training to be a shrink, so im sort of getting there.
why dont ya copy me and train part time... do you still want to do aromatherapy kel?

Always a vet, then I realised I dont have the heart to put animals to sleep. I know its the right thing to do when they are in pain but I just couldnt do it. x

But Nato is right, its never too late to follow your dreams and train for a career change.

I'm told when i was about 4 i wanted to be a stripper.!!

Not a career path i followed.

I fell into my career, now self employed in kitchen design something i got into through my husband.

Stress levels go through the roof!

If you cant look on the bright side of life, polish the dull side :)

Oh I wanted to be all sorts of things when I was little: a poet, an inventor and I also told my mum I was going to win Wimbledon Ladies as well.
I am none of these things now!

I wanted to be a palaeontologist because I loved dinosaurs for a spell when I was about 7 or 8. Then, as a teenager, I wanted to be a forensic scientist or a pathologist until I found out that you had to work on live people first. I have ended up as a physicist, so I've stuck with the science but veered away from bones/people/biology. I had one blip when I considered hairdressing at the age of 11 or 12!

I insisted to everyone that i was going to be a Nurse in a hospital, as when i was little i was often going to the hospital to visit a family member who often went in.

I even had a dress- up Nurses Outfit, and when i played nurses with my friends and always had to be the nurse, one of them had to be the doctor and the other child said they'd be the patient, but i always made sure most of the time that i was playing the nurse.

I am not a nurse and i don't think that would be the right career choice for me. I am currently doing admin/ secretarial work, but i have the ambition of becoming a teacher in the future lately i've been thinking a Learning Support Teacher in a secondary school would be a good job, as i would like to help people be able to do well with their subjects like art and other things, as i think when people are in school and not very well, i would like to be someone who is tthere for them, and help them focus on things like their artwork and other things because i have found out myself that when i'm doing something i enjoy, it makes me feel better.

Love H&F x
