Most of us remember being a kid and talking about wanting to be something. I'm just doing this poll to see what everyone votes. I have a feeling a lot of people wont remember though but its worth a shot. Feel free to discuss your vote thats by range. By the way, I don't mean having different careers at one time. I'm talking about how many different careers did you want to be as a kid? I believe I wanted to be 6. Technically 5 cause 1 of them isn't even real and that would be a part of the Mystery Inc Gang. To this day I'd still love that job if it was real lol! Going to haunted places with friends & having a great time. The other careers that are real that I wanted to be growing up would be in the row as listed.. Firefighter, Artist, Veterinarian, Photographer, and Author.
I was mainly wanting to be a Firefighter at 5 years old. Afterwards I stuck with the idea of being an Artist for a few years. I eventually got discouraged by everyones amazing talent at art. Plus my creativity art wise was lacking & people started getting on my nerves about it. The joy of art just wasn't there anymore so I switched to the idea of a Veterinarian at age 12. Then I thought the pressure of an animals life in my hands is to heartbreaking so I switched to the idea of a Photographer or an Author at age 13. I'm currently about to be 16 in a month and don't really have any career goals anymore.. I was leaning more towards the Author side but I slacked off of coming up with stories. I won't go into much further discussion about that cause I hate discussing my future plans for now with people cause they always say something that ticks me off so I'll end it here. I'm interested to hear some of the replies if they're any.
OH! Random if you feel like answering as a bonus but did anyone have Career Day or Career Week in their school? We mainly had Career Day in Elementary School. I loved it & was always fascinated at peoples jobs. By time I got in Middle School they did Career Week mainly. I started dreading it then cause I started loosing interest bout what other people careers were. I believe I'd skip a couple of days of that week cause the days would always be so long when you're going room after room listening to them go on and on about stuff. I believe I was always interested in the Police stuff that was like those shows CSI, Law and Order, etc. Most the kids were cause of all the cool stuff they do. I could never picture myself doing those jobs though cause the risks are high. Fashion people would always depress me and give me odd looks for being so fat & gloomy while mentioning "you must have a petite figure and a nice outgoing attitude so people will be attracted to you!" while glancing at me at points.

Whoops. Sorry for double post of the same passage. This site is acting up for me today & keeps giving me Error Messages.
