When you were a child, what did you want to be when you were older...

[Megadeth]

A singer, I worshiped Anthony Kiedies ever since I was like 4-5.

[Zelk]

Number 9 for Newcastle United....
I'm studying law at Uni to become a solicitor.

Farmers have to be "jack of all trades". An Engineer, Plumber, Electrician, Veterinarian (if you have live stock), Architect and the list goes on.

I wanted to be a Farmer, my dad was a live stock farmer until about 4 years ago and now just does cash crops. That idea lasted until I was about 14 when I started to understand money and the fact that farmer is a terrible career choice. Through high school and college was going for Computer Programming but ended up doing Graphic Design which is what I was doing to pay my way through college. Been a Graphic Designer at a Print Shop for the past 10 years.

Ya that is more the word I was looking for; engineer was the closest I could think of at the time :P

[Shyzhi]

I wanted to be a power ranger :P had my white power ranger suit and the weapons, dam good old days... xD

[Nacly]

A horse... no joke, lol

Later on I wanted to be a writer or a journalist, and now I'm studying programming. So much for a horse.

[Sam the Wiser]

I think I wanted to be a fireman. That went on the window real quick tho lol.

[Lupinemancer]

I never had any dreams as a kid, and I still don't. I'm pretty much just having fun, enjoying life and my freedom.

[Vizardlorde]

A scientist astronaut! then that dream died and i am now dreamless.

Basketball player/Police Officer

Studying computers at the moment :P

[DownButStillOut]

I didn't really care as long as I helped people, but then I opened up my little box I called my room and frankly didn't see much worth helping.
Now I'm currently in my box, writing on the walls to figure out a decent strategy to get past all this everything.

I wanted to be an astronaut

[Kuthe]

When I was a kid: Train Conductor.
Now: Studying to become a Lawyer.

[Wilian]

Scrooge McDuck or Power Ranger.

[Toccs]

Wanted to join the army when i was a child... wish was fulfilled.

I now however work for "insert gaming company" as a IT Service Specialist, i guess that my second wish fulfilled too.

[Terahertz]

I wanted to be the cliché fireman. In the 6th grade I wanted to be a lawyer, but now I want to be a programmer.

So many people want to do programming! Never really had any interest in it, if I was on a computer I got sidetracked by reddit and stuff.

[Waaldo]

I guess I wanted to be an astronaut, but then again, who didn't at some point? I'm currently going to school to become a paramedic.

[icausewipes]

I wanted to be happy.

[Ciddy]

A mailman. Yeah, a bit "different" but that was what I wanted to be for years as a kid. I'm in IT now.

[Deleted]

I'd like to start a career in IT, primarily in the support systems dealing with networking - a technician i suppose you could say.

But im still a long way off my goal, i am getting there though!

As for my dream job when i was kid... I'd probably say it was to be a willy wonka (owning a sweetshop, and selling my own various kinds of sweets)

It's a shame my sweet tooth has diminished substantially now
