What did you want to be growing up?

I wanted to be a firefighter for the longest
I’m in the UK. There’re mass culture of discrimination and sexual abuses in the Met itself. Sometimes vetting isn’t conducted properly and criminals are hired or retained in their positions ! 😕
Oh wow, that’s terrible. I definitely couldn’t work in the UK or NZ. They don’t carry a firearm as first responders which is crazy. Would never do the job if I wasn’t armed
I wanted to be a computer operator. I know it's funny, but it's kind of cool seeing people behind the computer. So I made that choice.
All children want to be adults and all adults want to be children again. It's a vicious cycle.
I don’t want to be a child again. Hated my childhood!!!All children want to be adults and all adults want to be children again. It's a vicious cycle.
I'm sure a lot of people did, especially if some type of abuse was involved. But, it's just something you hear from time to time where kids say they wish they were adults and adults say they wish they were kids again, but everyone's different.
I feel like it’s one extreme or the other.
Personally? I just like the routine of a job. I didn’t particularly enjoy memorising stuff for exams. Had trouble with friendships too. Was the one to be picked one - kids can be immature !!!

I wanted to be a footballer at one point when I was a kid. I had a trial once but I forgot my shin pads at home and they didn’t let me do it and I never went to another trial, so nothing ever happened. I also wanted to be a programmer in my early teens; I loved programming and I even studied Computer Science at university but something just never clicked. I lost my love for programming over the years. I think the whole studying for it process sucked the fun out of it for me.
I studied computer science at university too. I chose the university to study at based on the fact that the course had a high proportion of coursework to exams.
After all programming is a practical discipline, not something to memorise!
I speak as a graduate in computer science and a professional software engineer, programming in industry is very different from programming during your degree.
A Formula One driver... kinda glad I outgrew that phase TBH, given how expensive and dangerous it is!
I wanted to be assassin 👀 but as time went on, I wanted to be a criminal lawyer.
I never really had a "I want to be this" stage. Odd, I know.
Funny how you went from wanting to be a criminal to help put them in jail. 😆 (or defend them)
Yeah, I had a teacher tell me to change my answer 🙄 she was no fun.
Oh boo xD what did you end doing as a grownup?
Besides being lazy, mostly restaurant management. Wasn’t my dream job but it paid the bills.
I'm lazy too but bills do need to be paid! I'd rather not work if I didn't have to. 😅 Restaurant manager does sound very trying and it wouldn't be for me. So kudos!
As of yesterday, no longer in the restaurant field. I will be working from the comfort of my own home. 😍 I’d rather not say what I’d be doing.
