What did you want to do for a living as a child vs what do you want to dow (or are doing) now?


When I was a kid I just wanted to be a Vet, I still do but it's difficult for me to do online study and there are no options for me to do the course locally on a campus so I'm now looking at doing a degree in Nursing. I want to work on the ER floor. I'm really surprisingly calm and controlled when is comes to emergencies and dying people.

I performed CPR on my dying friend when he was hit by a car when I was 14 years old. He died in my arms twice and I was so calm it's scary.

Wanted, and still wish, to be a pilot. Horrendous eyesight prevented that from being a feasible career choice.

Now I'm just jobless.

I'm a jobless bum at the moment, Probably the main reason for my depression now that I think about it.
I considered being a pilot for the Australian Air Force but I have shitty eyesight too so that dream was very short lived. :(

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Never had an idea of what i wanted to do. Now i just dont want to work for the rest of my life.

I've practically been my own vet for my animals for the past few years, I've done a c-section on a deceased rabbit to save her babies, patched up so many injuries on my less than intelligent horses, given needles, medicine, splinted broken legs.
It's just difficult for me to find work placement in my area because all the vets around here are shitty.
So I figure, I can still help animals, but why not help humans too with my knowledge?

I've thought about astronomy briefly and very recently. Until I tried to find somewhere to study that in Australia and said "fuck this, I'm not moving across the country."

I also for a few years wanted to become a mounted police but the road to get there is so long. After joining the acadamy (and the slim chance of me getting in) I'd have to be a vanilla police officer for 10 years before I could "upgrade" to mounted police officer.

I wanted to be a solider when I was younger, didn't care which branch, as long as it gave me a gun. Now I'm an engineer, and want to engineer for space stuff one day.

well i can't really remember what i wanted to be when i was a kid.

I remember i got really interested in astronomy in the 10th grade and thought about but figured out i hate physics and its a very limited filed

Finally ended up going to school for computer science based on wanting a high paying, guaranteed job. First semester of my second year into it and I'm not enjoying it too very much at all. I can do the work fairly easily I'm just not interested nor enjoy it. I've decided tomorrow to switch majors to Political Science which is what I originally wanted to major in since I've always had a passion for politics. I was prioritizing money and a wide job market over what I love which was a mistake and actually after a little research the poli sci job market isn't nearly as limited as I once believed in fact its a little more prosperous than Computer Science since a lot of those jobs are getting exported to India. Also what persuaded me is how much my university's poli sci department helps their graduates get a job.


I've never really thought about money. I don't know how I would be able to survive working doing something I don't enjoy. That's not living. That's also why I'm currently jobless. The very limited number of jobs in this area don't interested me so I don't try hard enough to get employed.

Went into cardiac arrest twice, my cpr kept him alive. He's still with us though not much of a friend anymore. Slight brain damage and blind in one eye. We haven't spoken for a long time.

I seriously told people when I was very young I wanted to be Godzilla. Destroying buildings would be the sickest shit.



But now, I don't have a complete idea for what I want to do. I'm currently trying to get into programming for video games, but it's not the most concrete desire.

That is honestly the most interesting "when I was a kid" career choice I've ever heard.
And, not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind being a stay at home mum for a decade or two. xD
