QOTD

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

 

I always wanted to be a teacher. I'd play school in the spare bedroom.  

Re: QOTD

  • After watching the ever-famous tour of the Crayola factory I knew I wanted to work in a factory.  Not running the machines but working closely with the people that do.

    And that's exactly what I went to school for, what I currently do and have been doing for the past 14 years.  I've worked in places that manufacture flexible metal hoses, chemical and paper pumps, sneakers, firearms and handcuffs, machinery, and helicopter parts.

  • I wanted to be a high school English teacher for a while, but ultimately I knew I would end up with animals. I really wanted to be an exotic animal trainer, for like movies and stuff! Ugh, I would still love that job. Or working at a zoo. I did love being a vet tech though.

  • For a while I wanted to be a ballerina, then a lawyer, then a singer, then a lawyer again. Now I'm in communication, getting my MBA, and seriously considering moving into HR.

  • when i was in 6th grade, i did a report on different careers I could have if I became a psychologist.  When I was 14 (28 years ago), I learned about "Industrial Psychology", a precursor to Human Resources. 

    And, I was done. That was it. That's what I was going to do.

     

  • a teacher...always a teacher.  I loved playing with all of my mom's school text books, her old plan books, and carbon paper!!

  • I always wanted to be a teacher.  And really I still sort of do. Specifically a preschool teacher or kindergarten. I love that age.  But I know I wouldn't be able to deal with the beaucratic stuff or the parents.  (This was after watching what my mom went through in her later years as a teacher before her retirement.  It was all about the tests, not about the learning) 

    I always loved playing with all of her school stuff and even my teachers would give me and my friends old worksheets or books to use at home for pretend school. 

  • I can't think of anything. I guess I never had any aspirations as a kid. Pretty sad.

  • So funny you ask this, I was just asked the other day at work. Without blinking an eye I said I wanted to be a mother. 

    Now I just want to be a SAHM, but I'm happy just to have an amazing kid who calls me Mom.
