Venting What was your dream Job/Life as a kid ?

[JadedBeing]

As a kid i was very creative, still am Kind of. I wrote books, tried drawing and stuff. But i quickly found out that i really love making and watching movies. I knew that i want to be a movie maker when i grow up. I still have that dream in me. I'm 28 now, i guess i still have time.

when i was a kid, i imagined that i would be a lady who dressed in interesting outfits and roamed the streets of european cities finding interesting things to paint, to sit at a cafe and watch the world go by. im 'only' 18, but i feel even now that it's something i'll never get to do. but it would have been nice.

I wanted to be a computational physicist ever since I was a kid, but that takes time that I don't have or care to give

[trying ungracefully]

Therapist. I was 12 when I got put in therapy so I wanted to help people like me. That dream left when I realized I am too fucked up to even help myself I can't even begin to help others who also have serious issues.

when i was little i memorized and gave speeches in front of rows of adults , because of this i got told id be the president one day. then a random day when i was 12 "financial analyst" showed up somehow and now thats what im forcing myself to study for even though im not really interested in anything anymore.

I really wanted to get in fashion and designing. I made so many designs on paper when I was younger. I ended up giving that dream up in the face of big things like 'job security' and a profession that had a chance of paying much better

Mostly, nothing. I don't ever remember trying to plan out a life. Then in hs I was good at math and enjoyed helping my friends. I was going to try being a math teacher. A guidance counselor pointed me toward engineering instead. I passed because I could always do the maths but I'm no engineer. It's led me down an incredibly unstable professional career path. Which has helped ruin me.
I would go back and stick to what I wanted. Teachers make less but it's steady and had good benefits. It's my fault for being weak and just going along with whatever.

 

[PeopleAreCruel]

I always wanted to be an actor or a filmmaker. At one point an artist.
