Definetly wanted to be involved in science, but now I am almost finished with my accounting degree
, everyday though going to work I think how can I do this for the rest of my life. So I think I will keep up with Accounting get my CPA, then maybe go back to school for something I am more passionate about, WoW now I am really depressed

I want to have the largest coral farm in the world and to have the largest selection of aquacultured fish, corals, inverts, and live rock. I'm young and there's still plenty of time.

Either archeologist or involved with computers. First didn't work out but my girlfriend is one and she is in Rome right now digging some ruins. I did end up with computers so 50% there :)

I wanted to be a garbage man - now I work in full-time ministry. Ironic.
Seriously, when I was young we lived in Pasadena, CA. It was back in the day when garbage trucks had little ATV's connected to them. The garbage truck would drop off the ATV's on one end of the street and they'd drive the ATV's down the street picking up garbage. .... So, I guess I really just wanted to drive ATV's for a living... haha!
It was either that or a pilot or a sailor (not the stereotypical "sailor" though). I still want to be both.

I wanted to be an ornithologist, then a marine biologist.... then I interned/volunteered in both those fields and decided against them. Then I wanted to be a vet, so I became a vet-tech.... and then I learned that veterinarians are psychopathic sociopaths... so now I've opened my own business and I get to bake/decorate cakes for a living and THAT is what I want to do when I grow up.
...whenever that may occur. which is to say.... it hasn't happened yet... as far as I am aware.

I wanted to be a marine nammal biologist (like a lot of little girls) or a vet.
Turns out 5 or 7 more years of school really ain't my thing!
So now I'm grown up and I'm a ward nurse/assistant at a vet clinic...with many fish tanks! I think it worked out for the best. :D
edit: Oh Mimzy.... the crazy doctors can sometimes be very entertaining!! :D

At 3 - an ice cream man
At 5 - a gas station attendant (my uncle owned a station)
At 10 - an astronaut.
Didn't do any of them.
But I did fight forest fires in CA for 4 years. Some of the greatest experiences of my life.
Now I"m a financial aid officer. I need to find something I can be passionate about again.
