What did you wanted to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a professional dancer. I used to dance since a child up to I was 15 years old then things happen I had to put it on hold time flied by and I was too old to pursue that career and here I am a photographer lol I still sometimes sit and think to myself what would be like if I was what I wanted to be. Jun 22 14 06:38 pm Link Up until my sophomore year in high school I was looking at going to tech school for welding and engine repair. Needless to say I wouldn't be where I'm at now if that would have happened. Although if that did happen I could actually use a wire-feed and tig welder and not look like an idiot trying.

I didn't become one until my 30's but here I am:) Jun 22 14 06:41 pm Link I never really thought about it at all until I was about 18. Then I looked at the market and decided on electronics engineering. When the market crashed in 86, I ended up working for the government. I suppose that (in hindsight) I would have been a happier person had I become a real chef as cooking is something that is near and dear to my heart. I suppose it is my one true love (other than Hue). Oh well. Jun 22 14 06:43 pm Link I've always wanted to be a masseuse. As soon as I'm done with my bachelors degree, I'm going to go to massage school.

Jun 23 14 06:06 am Link I wanted to be an Olympic equestrienne, but we couldn't afford a horse or even lessons. Then I wanted to be an opera singer. I accomplished this. Jun 23 14 06:23 am Link A writer. That's the only thing I ever wanted to be. I never became one in the sense that I meant it back then, i.e., writing novels, magazine articles, etc., but I became a paralegal and did some original research and writing in that capacity. That was satisfying, and it paid way better than trying to earn a living writing books and magazine pieces that nobody wants to publish.

Or an artist. (Same thing). Jun 23 14 08:42 am Link "I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree." Jun 23 14 08:47 am Link When I was very young I wanted to be an Army pilot, like my dad. In my teens I thought I would become a race car driver. I always felt that my dreams were very fanciful... Jun 23 14 10:50 am Link professional baseball player. Jun 23 14 10:51 am Link Paolo Diavolo wrote: Love Hansel's lifestyle and crowd he hang out with... heck... I even loved his crib!

Ballerina Truck driver Airline attendant Grocery store stocker Teacher Drummer Artist Chef Farmer Who knows what else…it changed just about every month. Once I hit my teens and was being forced to plan the rest of my life out I drew a blank, theres no specific thing that I want to do for a living for the rest of my life. Everything I like I dont want to do for a business (or I know that theres no money in it to start with). Everything I know makes decent income Im not good at or have no interest in. Jun 23 14 11:55 am Link There were a few things I wanted to be, Comedian, actress, voice actress, and lastly a model. Well I was able to become one of them. Jun 23 14 12:01 pm Link A racing cyclist, a published writer and a radio dj. I've done them all, still doing the last two, now I don't have any dream left. Only ever saw photography as a hobby, loved it and wanted to do it as much as possible but not for a living(got that one wrong). I'll have to start dreaming again. Jun 23 14 01:44 pm Link A cowboy of course. But it doesn't pay that much. Jun 23 14 01:57 pm Link  Jun 23 14 02:11 pm Link Cherrystone wrote: You wanted to be a girl?
