As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

[Empired]

Another simple question, we all generally had really cliched answers when we were asked in primary school what we wanted to be when we grew up.

What did you want to be? Are you anywhere near reaching your childhood 'ambition'? (Probably not)

I never knew what I wanted to be I just always said something to do with computers

so mission accomplished I guess

As far as I remember, it went something like
Ice cream man > something police related > business related for many of my years > something in politics > I don't even know now.

An Ice Cream man. Thankfully I became a bit more ambitious than that.

[Samantha]

A teacher or a hair designer! Neither worked out and I grew out of wanting to be a hair designer pretty quickly.

What do you want to do now? Do you have plans to get our of working in a supermarket or have you settled for that?

Not really sure to be honest. I did apply for a receptionist sort of job at my old school, I think something like that would interest me, but sitting down all day isn't for me.

A policeman

[Expling]

throughout my childhood i went through stages wanting to do loads of different things
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was about 8 though - I used to put loads of posters and stuff on my bedroom walls and waste paper on registers and making report cards/exercise books while pretending I had a proper class
my brother who was studying computing at college also made me a website where I took the register - it was so fun when I think back omg
then it got even funnier when I asked my parents for whiteboards and stationary stuff for birthdays etc instead of toys/consoles/laptops
after that, when I was 10/11 ish my mum bought my a playmobil school and I loved it to bits
then I saved up my pocket money and bought the police sets because I went through a stage where I wanted to be a policeman too

but now I'm definitely wanting to be a teacher or social worker - just something involving kids!
