Dead. Clearly I'm still failing at that goal.

I wanted to be a writer, but eventually decided it didn't sound like a very happy job.

A marine biologist. Got into study this at high school level but then I moved abroad and went down a different track. Always think back with sadness that I didn't get to go down that route as later on in life I became a diver and I love the ocean. However, I had to move out of home to survive! So it was a non-option in many ways.

I wanted to be a pop singer or a comedian but they were very minor wants. I think the ideas came from my interests. i never really had a clue what I wanted to be. I was too focused on my current problems & current interests to really think about the future.

When I was seven I just wanted to be retired and left alone to do as I pleased. I am now retired and left alone to do as I please. :D

I wanted to be a video game designer (though the current Video Game Industry is more or less screwed in some ways), then I wanted to be a Dentist (ironic considering I haven't exactly been taking care of my teeth proper)

Now... I don't know... and the real world is a big, scary place

I'm only 22 and I only have 40-something years to decide before I hit the "can no longer work" stage in life...

Funny to think this thread started when most current contributor was a kid!

First, a fire woman (because I wanted to be able to go down a slide quite often, as depicted in children's book).

Then, an an egyptologist as codes and signs and runes and mystery spoke to me. Hidden messages and discovering what they meant. I was actually convinced in an earnest (if naïve) way that I was going to be an egyptologist.

After a few years, I was just as convinced that I would become a journalist.

Then I lost track. Having lost track may actually have lasted long into my psychology studies, who knows? I now feel that I am doing exactly the right thing, and I did end up working with the meaning of communication, albeit in a different way. I work to establish and develop communication between people with communication challenges (e.g. ASD/autistic people, people with PMLD, LD/intellectual disabilities and dementia ) and their social surroundings.

Shaken. - good one.

It was a room number at a school.

If I was to be a spy it probably would be
Get Smart.
