    Hmmmm....I love history, so i was thinking something to do with history. Archaeology is reeeally interesting to me.

    I think that's my main interest right now, archaeology. :slight_smile:

    I understand that perfectly! I gave up my potential career as a nurse to get married and have babies. I loved being a mom. My youngest just turned 21 and now I do this (moderating EC and running PFLAG) to keep me busy! Well and taking care of six little boys ages 16 months to age 4. They keep me pretty busy too! :slight_smile:

    When I was younger I wanted to be an anesthesiologist, just because I could sat it and knew what it was. Then I got addicted to Grey's Anatomy and then I wanted to be a nurse. My first year of college I worked at a school and I decided to be a teacher.

    I am studying to be an actor. It's been my dream since the age of 5, but only recently have truly pinpointed why it is my passion in life. I must follow this calling that I have been given...my desire to achieve success in this great art is consuming, and I am so happy to know what God called me to do.

    As well as getting into architecture (as I rambled about on the previous page) I really just want to get enough money to be comfortable in life so I can afford things I may want but most importantly if something ever arises where I need quick access to a bit of money I know I can afford it.

    I wanted to be a computer programmer. Those aspirations quickly faded though. As of right now, I have no idea... :frowning2:

    Well I've certainly received a huge range of occupations! Archeologist, architect, doctor, nurse, teacher, programmer, mum, astronaut, chef... amongst many others! Some are pretty crazy and some a bit more down to earth. We can all dream though can't we? :icon_bigg

    But what keeps coming through in this thread is that everyone just wants to do what makes them happy, find a nice partner and live life! I think this is fantastic (*hug*) and good luck to you all in reaching your dreams!

    When I grow up I want to be a male Janice Dickinson.

    Minus all the plastic.

    And add a bit more bitch.

    If that fails; nutrition and psycology rock my boat! Actually now that I think about it anything to do with health would be cool.

    Architect - Buildings are pretty cool
    Urban Planner - Always seemed fun designing a city
    Politician - I absoloutly love Politics and plus my name would sound great with Senator or The Honrable before it
    Journalist - Being an investigative journalist would be exiting
    Photo Journalist - One picture is worth a thousand words and plus id love to just take pictures for a living
    Teacher - Practicly my entire family are teachers so is probelry inevitable...

    Lots of things... most likely Architect

    I find it interesting how some of you guys--apart from your career goals--want to make enough to be comfortable, when my goal [live sound engineer] is basically freelance, so i could have a job once, make 300 bucks and never work there again. Or i could travel with a tour and make a couple thousand. Its like, i feel like im one of the few who really doesnt care if i make thousands per month or nothing, as long as im doing what im doing.

    i have wanted to be a published author for years; writing is what i do best. journalism would be OK but i would prefere to do my own thing really.

    aside from that, there's stuntman, psychologist/psychiatrist, and pornstar

    I dont know specifically what I want to be, but I want to have a law degree, be fluent in spanish and chinese, work with/in the government and maybe eventually travel to "developing" countries to volunteer.

    Edit: Oh and I want to be a stripper/bartender at some point in my life. Probably the latter, and probably during college.
