A lot of little girls just want to be married when they are little. That is their only aspiration, which is pretty depressing in my opinion, but a lot of those women/girls didn't/don't see it that way. When I was a child, I had no idea what I wanted to be, but I knew that I wasn't going to go out, get married and have kids. That just wasn't for me. Not to say that there is anything wrong with that, but it just isn't for me.

I wanted to be something different. I have always disliked sameness, and I like freedom and difference, but I just haven't figured out how I can do my part in giving that to people in the world yet.

So what did you want to be when you were a child?

I remember I always dreamed of becoming a racecar driver. I told myself I'd fight and fight and eventually get there... sadly though after a very bad breakup over my "car obsession" that part of me died off.

But, I've got other goals in mind so it's not the end of the world. Now I hope I will either become a computer programmer or a musician.
 
As a child I wanted to be a housemaid :p Funny, I know.
Now I've taken a radically different approach to my future.
I don't know what exactly I want to be. The only thing I desire to do is changing even one person's life for the better. I desperately wanna do this somehow.
 
As a child I wanted so badly to be a college professor. Why I have no clue no one in my family is a teacher. I do have a distant uncle who is a college professor and he would travel all around the world teaching . I would see very neat artifacts he would have in his house from Egypt, Italy, etc.. Also listing to him talk about different countries and cultures fascinated me . My goal was to get to Princeton I had high hopes . Sadly they always don't turn out that way but we can always go back to school and finish up.
 
The first thing I ever wanted to be was a paleantologist - I was obsessed with dinosaurs, had all the models, knew all the names, read endless books on them...I then wanted to be the Queen (never happening), and for quite a few years I wanted to be a writer. I still think that would be amazing and I'd love to write a novel some day, but I mainly want to be a teacher.
 
I love that most of these professions are not your typical female professions, at least as society sees it anyway lol. It just shows how ambitious all of you were as children, and it's cool. Don't you just love the minds of children? There are never any limits and it is fun to dream :D
 
I wanted to be an electronic music producer and performer (I knew the from the instant my brother brought home a depeche mode record), and I wanted to be a horse trainer. They dont have that much in common, and it took me my entire life to get to where I could produce and play live pa. I had to put the other thing on hold except for a few weeks in winter when I wasn't playing shows and raves all the time. I did manage a few weeks through out the year to retreat to places where I could ride and experience different horse cultures, and even though it didn't look like i would have the time ever to devote to learning masterful horse training skills, I can happily say that since moving to Texas only two weeks ago to try and live somewhere where I could be employed as an audio engineer and be around the horse culture, I have landed an apprenticeship with an exclusive quarter horse breeder and trainer. Sometimes the things you want to do the most dont come easily or right away. Then they are the most gratifying for your soul when you attain something.
 
I remember that I wanted to be a soldier. Don't ask me why, because I have absolutely no idea:eek:. When I was 5 or 6, I used to draw pictures of myself in camouflage clothes, with a big gun in my hands. Fortunately, now I'm a very peaceful person, I hate violence and I don't dream about going to war anymore:p
 
A businesswoman/entrepreneur, writer, actress, travel host on the travel channel an IT professional and a curator. At a young age I wanted to keep my options open, I guess I still do. ;)

I'm now in my early twenties and earn a living as an entrepreneur and a writer, which gives me the flexibility to pursue my love of acting. I also graduated with a degree majoring in anthropology (which gives me the opportunity to complete a masters and become a curator one day) as well as marketing and media studies, which may come in handy if I ever get around to pitching a travel show. As for IT, my love of IT has definitely helped me develop a career working for myself.
 
I have always struggled from the time I was a child of having a balance between family and life. As a child I always had visions of a beautiful wedding, a wonderful husband, and amazing children. I also wanted to do something with marine life, as well. Looking back, things didn't go exactly the way I had hoped as a young girl, but it has still been an amazing journey. What I didn't realize when I was a child was that being a parent has so many demands. It is extremely challenging to find a balance between a career, and a family. But I do the best I can, and I wouldn't trade a single moment of any of it, not for the whole world.
 
As a child, all I wanted to do was become a high school English teacher and eventually a reading specialist. Although my dream is to still teach, I don't want to be a teacher. However, I have and still want to obtain a PhD.

Now that I have started working from home, I want to put my all into becoming an internet entrepreneur and opening an online tutoring franchise. I think one on one tutoring is better than teaching an entire class because you don't know if everyone completely understands. At least with one on one tutoring, you can invest time to one student and ensure they understand that material.

As of right now, I am creating online courses and selling them online temporarily at Udemy. I will eventually start my online school where I will teach courses and receive all earnings in lieu of 50%. So, my dream is somewhat the same from when I was a little girl.
 
I was rather traditional when it came to career dreams. When I was in middle and high school, it was either a nurse or a teacher. At one point I even had a nursing school chosen and I didn't think I'd ever change my mind about that. But the draw to be a teacher was still kind of strong.

As it turned out, I've done a few years of teaching but now I'm in the music business. I'm pretty sure at this point that I was never really cut out to be a nurse so I'm glad things changed for me when it came to career choices. (y)
 
As as child I wanted to be a property developer, model and entrepreneur.

I'm still trying to make all 3 happen...
 
I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a little girl, I think I was 10 or 11 years old back then. I was so sure I wanted to be that back then, so sure I bought so many vet magazines and so on. Sadly I lost focus and ended up doing something totally different and not satisfying at all. Time just went by, as I grew older I started to feel really confused and wondered if I really wanted to do that. Well, it turns you I didn't really want to and that's why I am where I am.

To be honest since I grew up I had a lot issues trying to decide what I really wanted to do with my life career-wise. Sadly I'm not the best with decisions, I ended up making a very bad decision, but oh well! Past is past and is long forgotten ;) Now all I want is to focus in the future!

It sounds like we are very similar and I'm just trying to focus on grabbing my goals and making them happen. Sometimes I get scared though. Like with modelling. I've been spotted 4 times but each time said no because I've been told by people that I'm not model pretty, just common pretty. Now, I can't work up the courage to go to agencies and ask what they think :(
