For the masses!!!

Did you, in retrospect, become what you set out to be when you were growing up?

To give an example, when I was little, all I wanted to be was a commercial artist. I used to be one of the top artists in the state of Illinois growing up, and that's all I aspired to do was draw. Even if it were comic books. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, I got sidetracked with demands from different places, and I ended up working at Amazon.com following a 'big butt and a smile'! :eek:

ill tell ya when i grow up :D

I was heavily into drawing which in turn got specified to drafting. Which then lead to my desire to become an Aeronautical Engineer. Unfortunately due to poor assistance from the college I attended, my desires were squashed by the amount of denial letters from major and some not so major aero companies saying that they will keep me on file or I am not experienced enough. I just got out of fuckin' college for crying out loud!:mad:

Now I turned out to be what I always didn't want, a bitter person with the backing to prove it.:D

When I was 4-9, I wanted to be a veterinarian (sp). When I was 10, I started working on cars, now I want to do something involving them as a job.

yeah....I'll tell ya when I get there......:bandit:

When I was younger I liked to draw and design things. I also liked to build models. And I really liked to build with legos. So here I am, in an engineering school, trying to become a mechanical engineer.

Sorry to hear about the FOAD letters. I know the feeling, its tough to break into a field that values experience above everything else.

grow up?!?!?!?
hell my father is 50-something and STILL doesnt know what he wants to be when he grows up!(but currantly he is in de-construction...ya know demolition!!!)
I still am gripping at the hopes that the Ferrari Formula One team will fire Shumey and hire me in his place :D :D :D :D
or that the WRC Subaru team will give me a shot at the special stage on the Africa Ralley! :D :D :D :D
or Nissan will give me a factory backed SE-R Spec V to AutoX:D :D :D
Yup I wanna be a race car driver when I grow up!

Well, when i was little i wanted to be a teacher....and now i am thinking of a counselor of some sort....who knows though :)

:flash:

I certainly didn’t! I wanted to be a Hairdresser or a Beautician, but then every girl wants to be those when she’s about 5!!! :p :hehehe:

I actually did! Reviewing even what was written in my high school yearbook confirmed this.

My father is a mechanical Design Engineer, my grand father a tool maker, and I am a mechanical engineer, with full tool making certs, robotics, and production efficientcy expert.

Now I am having a mid life crisis and am looking to change careers !:bloated:

i never had any dream for any specific career... still dont have one.

i just wanted to keep doing new things and hopefully find one that i love.

I wanted to be a car designer:silly2: By the will of fate I ended up in a civil engineering firm. Go figure...

Heh.. that is basically me. By the end of this summer I want to leave my job and become a real estate agent. My friends think I'm insane. Oh well...

Ditto... but I guess I've gotten pretty close :)

A son looked at his father and said, "Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a professional Musician!"
the father looked at the son and said, "Now son, You can't do both!"

That is SO me. I'm Halfway there! I go to berklee of Boston in May next year, and my first Full length production CD hits shelves later this month!

Right now I'm looking at Optometry or Opthamology, depending on the degree I want to pursue. Have I always wanted to be this? No, but I have always wanted to go into the medical field. Got to love TLC's "Trauma Center". :D

I wanted to be either a police men or a builder.
I always thought it would be neat to be able to build my own house one day.

when i was 5 years old or somewhere around that i saw the movie "commando" with Arnold S. (can't spell his last name, hehe) and i wanted to be him........ since his name was John in the movie, i called myself John.... hahahaha :D
after that phase passed i wanted to play in the NHL as a pro hockey player. I was one of the best Goalies in the area and played AAA hockey, but that idea died to cause i got bored of playing net.... now i regret it soooooooooo much, i wish i kept playing :( i could have made it... there is a slim chance. i'm an IDIOT!

currently I'd wanna be a pro golfer, how sweet would that be?!? golfing for a living, Tiger Woods is the 2nd highest paid athlete in the world (behind schumacher) he get's like 50 million or so a year, i think

either that or a pro snowboarder that would be cool since i'd just party all the time, but i don't know if i have the guts to do all the stuff they do :eek: i don't know if i could progress enough. plus the conditions in southern Ontario are shit, so i'm not really in an area that a pro snowboarder would come out of. (i need to move to whistler, that would be sweet)

so we'll see if any of that happens! and i'll tell you if it came true
