The older I get, the funnier this question sounds to me, haha.
I stated in my previous post that I didn't know I wanted to be a doctor for a very long time. I never really settled on one thing growing up.
In my adult life I considered being an ultrasonographer, a registered dietician, and a personal trainer. The personal trainer one is really funny to me at this point. Highly hilarious.
What's even funnier though, is what I wanted to be when I was a child. By the time I graduated high school, I had held interest in very few careers throughout my entire life. I will never forget the short performance we put on for our parents in preschool. We wore costumes that portrayed the profession we hoped to achieve in adulthood. I bet you'll never guess what I wanted to be! Guess. . . A postman. . . a house to house mail carrier. The school didn't even have an outfit for me to put on as no child had previously dreamed of that career. My mom had to piece one together, and I proudly took the stage and announced to the crowd my "future career". (Much respect to all of the postmen/women out there.)
Later, as a rebellious teenager, I would frequently state that I wanted to be a porn star. I had never seen a pornography movie, or had sex for that matter, but I threw it out there a few times to piss my mother off. . . it worked.
My senior year I really enjoyed the government and economics courses we were required to take. During that year, I briefly thought about being a politician. Not one person had a positive thing to say about politicians, so my mind reversed very shortly.
What did you want to be when you grew up? Has it stayed the same, or changed?
