What You Wanted To Be When You Grew Up!

WorriedSick

Remember when you were growing up and people used to ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Usually people said Fireman, Policeman, doctor etc. Just wondering how many people are actually doing that now or are you doing something completly different?

I'll start the ball rolling.......

Wanted to be an army officer or a diplomat. Couldn't quite decide which.
(Granted, you could argue that the one is a form of the other).

Ended up being an army officer, at least.

By coincidence's sake, looking at the previous post, just took my first flying lesson last weekend. No, tanks don't fly well. But you have to give points for trying.
