What was the weirdest Occupation you wanted as a kid?

[CBRorBust]

For some strange reason, I always wanted to be a phone operator. LOL!

I guess I always wanted to be one of those old operators that had that huge switchboard in front of them connecting wires to all those holes!

Okay...I'm a nerd....moving on..

I don't think I wanted to BE anything but I always played I was a drive-thru window person. I would put my Apple IIE computer by my bedroom window and open and shut it as I typed up orders on the computer. LOL

I would also play that I was a waitress when we were in a hotel with the laundry slips and the tray that came under the ice bucket.

I tried to tell Mo about the waitress game the last time we were in a hotel and she didn't think it was as cool as I used to.

That is exactly what I was going to say! I loved Quincy and never missed a show. I always told my mom I was going to be a criminal pathologist. Never did of course.

I remember absolutely dying to be a mailman!! I think I was about 5-years-old then.

I used to want to be a singer when I was little.
As a sidenote, my seven year old son's dream job right now is to be a cashier at Walmart. He practices on those self checkouts all the time.

My 5 y/o DD tells me that she wants to be a vet, cotton candy store owner, and an artist! LOL!

I wanted to be a cashier at the grocery store. I never did that. I thought it was cool to watch them push in those numbers though.

I wanted to be an author when I was 8. Of course years later and over 16,000 posts here on the DIS, I should be known as some kind of writer!!!

 

[TerryKitten]

[CBRorBust]

LOL! Ya'll had some good ones!

I wanted to be a truck driver, and drive an 18 wheeler for Mary Kay.

They had these pretty pink Peterbilts, with sparkly letters on the trailers...

(Seriously. Please don't laugh.)

I passionately wanted to be a model, but my mom was always dead set against it. She actually went on a shoot with me one time and threatened me if I made any faces other than an innocent smile! lol So, that wasn't in the cards for me! Guess I wasn't rebellious enough!

 

[ilovepcot]

A nurse, and that's just what I grew up to be!

 

[Snoozan]

I wanted to be a major league baseball batboy-unfortunately, I grew up in the 60's & 70's and was a GIRL, so it was unheard of. Now I see they do have girls who field the foul balls, so we've come a long way, baby!

My neice, who's 18 now, wanted to be a "My Little Pony" when she grew up!

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

Meteorologist for the National Weather Service...not incredibly weird but I am still mocked for my love of the weather.

 

[themepark]

When I was very small, I wanted to be on The New Zoo Revue. Does anyone remember that show?
