What did you want to be when you grew up? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When I was in kindergarten, I was convinced I would grow up to be a paleontologist. I thought it would be the coolest job in the world to dig up dinosaur bones. Today I can't even spell it!

Instead I grew up to become a banker

LuLu Rogers · 03-12-2009, 09:05 PM

I've wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was 5, I still haven't completely given up on it

An actress.

and a Meteorologist. Then in college I realized how much science and math was involved and how dumb I am. lol

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 03-13-2009, 12:00 AM

An artist, a comedian, an actress, a writer...and basically anything that's impossible to become.

FOLrocks1 · 03-13-2009, 12:57 AM

Ashlee, hahha I have to agree with you on most of that. From first grade through 6th, I wanted to be a teacher.

Then, I started coming here in the 7th grade and wanted to become a writer/producer for TV shows.

Now I'm working on a novel and think it would be cool to do that for a living...but the chances of that....lol.

I'm in college now, so I have some time to decide.

A pro basketball player, and a screenwriter. I'm thinking of joining an adult basketball league. It's definitely not the NBA, and you don't make any money, but it would still be fun.

treky · 03-13-2009, 01:51 AM

either a priest (to please my mother; and for no other reason)

or a fireman.

Then later, in the 60s when the united states was involved in the space race; I wanted to be an astronaut. Then I found out how much work and study is involved and that put an end to that dream! (also when I realized how stupid I am)

And my older brother laughing at me when I said it also didn't help matters any.

i've wanted to be a singer on and off my whole life, but i know i wouldn't be able to make a full-time career out of it for a variety of reasons. hopefully it's something i can do part time, but i'll at least always do it as a hobby. i've had a desire to be a psychologist or social worker for a long time as well, and i still do, but the degrees are too much work for my ADD and the job itself is probably too unfit for my anxiety. i'm studying to be an administrative assistant, even though i'm sure my social anxiety will interfere. i like doing office work and it's the only degree at my college that i think i have a good chance at getting.

[-Kelsey-] · 03-13-2009, 02:55 AM

I wanted to be a police officer lol! But now I wanna be a cartoonist still working on that.

catlover79 · 03-13-2009, 08:46 AM

A singer and a children's novelist. Now...I work in a call center.

howierules86 · 03-13-2009, 08:49 AM

A game show host. Seriously. Not kidding.

MonarC · 03-13-2009, 10:25 AM

Fashion Designer, Interior Decorator, or Pediatrician.

ekkostar · 03-13-2009, 11:25 AM

I wanted to be a teacher or a comic book penciler (I wanted to work for Archie Comics on the Sonic title at one point O.o ). Now I want to work in an area of the media that involves writing (Books, blogs, magazines, news wire, tabloids, freelance ect. as long as it makes good money!) or I want to become a suit designer.

Doodyville10019 · 03-13-2009, 08:09 PM

I wanted to be a teacher or an entertainer. Wound up in a law office and working on my book now.
