JustHatched 12,103 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This is more for those already out of school. When you were a kid what did you want to be as an adult? Did you do it? I wanted to be a fighter pilot, and I knew I had to got good grades and attend the airforce acadamy. I got the grades, went to see the recruiter to find out the steps needed to take it further only to find out I was a few inches to short to fly F15 or 16's. I really had no other goals set so I went with partying and living the @Squirrel lifestyle for several years. Now as an adult I want to be a kid again..

CandyRotten 161 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I wanted to be a nurse but I handle blood, or any other bodily fluid so that dream died. When I was a teenager I wanted to be a parapsychologist but yet again, due to be terrified of ghosts etc, That other dream died 1 Quote Quote "It doesn't matter how you find the pot of gold B to the Rian, all that matters is you beat the leprechauns" - Stewie Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fine for Tom Cruise. I always thought Fighter pilots were like racing drivers, the shorter the better. I'm very much a 36 year old man child. I've had my taste of adulthood and it's not for me! If it wasn't for the lanky frame, greying hair and beard I could pass for Peter Pan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,846 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I can't remember which order these were in, but I went through phases of wanting to be a fighter pilot, football referee and lawyer. I have never come close to doing any of them. When it came for me to choose what subjects to do at school I stuck with the ones I was good at, sciences & maths, and went in the direction they took me.

Ninja 719 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well i'm kinda out of school but i can still decide what i want to become since i'm young enough. I always have been fascinated by the military (marines or anything else). I still want to join the military but only if i get sent out to other countries. My mom on the other hand strongly dislikes that. And i'm too kind to not join since my dad is barely home aswell. I still neee to make up my mind what i really want to do, since almost no one keeps doing the same job their whole live long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister 2,578 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I wanted to fly jets as well. Then I learned that you had to be in the Air Force for that. Soon after I learned that the AF was not something that interested me. I joined the Army instead. Thought about the Marines as well but my head wouldn't fit in the jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjss924 576 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 In no particular order: decepticon, ninja, 3rd baseman for the rangers, Schwarzenegger, or road warrior (after the bombs). Wound up a commercial plumber instead. Now I work at a party rental place and train protection dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjss924 576 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Deceptions superior, autobots inferior. I'll rip out your optics. Edited May 31, 2016 by Jjss924 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjss924 576 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 First post was true, but realistically, anything working with animals. I always wanted to work on animal documentaries, or national geographic magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteford99 146 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I wanted to be a fighter pilot, but I wear corrective lenses. I became a mechanic/welder instead, two of my Uncles who I idolize were both mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Originally I wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, wasn't fussed which one. When I was old enough to realize that the Ninja Turtles aren't recruiting - I wanted to be a footballer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truelife98 1,143 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Honestly can't say I remember ever wanting to be anything of striving for a certain job. All I knew was I hated school and would rather work then go. I guess once I got older I did go back to school to be an electrician but the money was crap so I took the job I'm at now as a chemical operator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
