I wanted to be an orthopaedic surgeon. Before that, when I was 5, I wanted to be a dog walker! How funny. I think I would love to be a dog walker now…forget the hammers and drills to people's patellas and femurs!
I wanted to be a professional singer. But then I realized I didn't have the body or the looks so that was shot to hell. Then I wanted to be a 4th grade teacher. Until I job-shadowed my 4th grade teacher and realized that was NOT the job for me.
I'm just like Brandie–I wanted to be a singer, too, until I realized I wasn't good enough and didn't have the looks. Then I wanted to be a teacher until I majored in education and had a bad practicum experience…and one of my English profs talked me into majoring in English! Now I love getting paid to write and edit.
I wanted to be an actress or a director…… I used to organize "shows" for my family after big family dinners with my brother and two cousins and I directed and starred. I was such a bossy attention whore! LOL
I wanted to be a teacher like my daddy. He carried a briefcase and one year for Christmas I got my own briefcase full of paper and pens and a lesson plan book. I was in heaven!

I have always wanted to be a dentist or join the peace corps. What would you do? Be a photographer, perhaps?

I wanted to be a dolphin trainer at the Baltimore Aquarium. I wanted to be a magazine writer in Chicago.
For now I'm a Web and graphic designer.
One day, I want to be my own boss.

I would be just what I am (Web designer and photographer) but I would be doing it on MY time and not in a M-F, 8-5…everyday is the same kind of thing.

When I was little I wanted to be an Airline Stewardess…
