Great thread. When I was in 7th grade, we had a class in Careers and I was in a silly stage of my life and did a report on being a "Pretzel twister".

Well I always wanted to be just like my dad when I was younger, so I always wanted to be a chemist just like him. Of course I came to realize that I don't even like science, and that math is my subject.

I was a freak, because, from the age of 7 until college, I FILLED my notebooks with houseplans. I drew house after house after house after house. My parents just knew that I would be an architect, but here I am a nurse. What happened?!

You know, it's never too late...

I LOVED that show!! Henrietta Hippo was my favorite!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I didn't want to be anything unusual--but my DS (8) wants to be a chef at a Japanese Steakhouse when he grows up

I wanted to be a watchmaker. I had an uncle who worked for Bulova, and I just thought it was a neat job. Lucky for me I grew out of it. Not much of a living today in that field! He was laid off after many, many years due to low demand.

When DD was about 3, she decided that McDonald's really needed someone to help little kids off the slide in the play area. She'd always tell me, "When I grow up, I'm going to explain to McDonald's that they really need a slide girl and make them hire me."

Now that she's 13, I love to tease her about this every time we go to MickeyD's!
