What did you want to be when you were littler?

Everyone had something they wanted to do when they were a small child, I myself wanted to be a paramedic because (and I quote from my mother who heard me say this) "they get to drive the ambalambs" I know, I know, it's ambulance, but I was small and ignorant, now Im big and slightly less ignorant. anyways. whats your story?

I wanted to be a firefighter or a helicopter pilot, give me 3 months and I will be a firefighter.
And for the past maybe 5 years I've wanted to get into auto body work, and that's been slowly coming about.

I wanted to be a race car driver. My dad was one, and that was all I wanted to be and still want to be.

ditto. always wanted to be a NASCAR driver back in the days when i actually LIKED NASCAR. well, needless to say those days aren't around anymore (although i would enjoy racing in the JGTCC...), so i'm hopefully going into auto mechanics.

This Thread has already been done, but.....

I originally wanted to be a commercial pilot. Unfortionatly my color vision problems took away any chance I had of being a pilot.

Then as I got older, I wanted to work on electronics. Again, I have
problems with colors , so resistor color codes, and various shades of wires made that job an impossibility.

Funny, how I couldnt do anything that I wanted to.

Started studying Computer Programming in college (in my last semester right now). Enjoying it, but wanted more challenge in my life.

Then, I wanted to get into the Army Reserves as a Signal Operator (basically a radio man). While I was going to college, since I could make money, and have a job, possiblilty of going reg force if I liked it, and job security is good. For some reason, I cant operate a radio when I have color vision problems (its not like I dont see any color). So once again, I was shot down.

So I just started in the reserves, still going to college. I am going to be a supply technician. For some reason, I can still get my military drivers license, and shoot a gun, and work in a supply depot, but I cannot operate a radio. (The Canadian Army is the most disorganized thing I have ever seen)
