When I grow up, I wanna be a steam shovel!

Ok so what did you guys want to be when you were young and foolis?  Myself well I wanted to be a musician, travel the World play shows etc.

I even released a demo with my band when I was 14. Sadly that dream fell through and I stopped playing for years until last year when I finally started playing with a new band again but it has recently fell thorugh alsol.

Did you all fail on your childhood dreams  (like I am currently am) or are you "achieving" them, since I'm gonna guess most of us are between 16-30 (Fairly young) someone has to be working towards their "dream".

Edit: Sorry if this has been posted before.

Punctuation is king, my friend.
Seriously, I have a really, really hard time reading your text 90% of the time.

Anyways, I've always wanted to make things.
It kind of evolved from engineer, to inventor, to artist, to graphic designer, to game programmer, to game designer.
Weird progression, actually.
And...I guess you could say that I'm "living my dream".
I'm doing what I love to do, but nobody really pays attention to me.
Probably because of my history of abandoning things due to the insane rush of ideas that I have.

I'll go back and use punctaution, sorry it was like 6 A.M. and I havn't slept in a while.

Abandoning things due to a rush of ideas I know that feeling all too well.

When I was like, 10, I said I wanted to be a bus driver... yeah... not living that dream by choice...

[Avnas]

I wanted to be a paleontologist!

Seriously, didn't everyone?
This sort of dies down after you realise that digging up fossils all day is not fun, and most of the dinosaurs have already been discovered.

Nothing. I've always just flowed from one thing to the next, and I've never planned a thing. It hasn't exactly worked out so well.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

I wanted to be many thing as a kid. But after 10 or so, when i picked up drawing, I wanted to be some sort of artist. Today, I am graphic designer. Beats the odds.


I still want to be astronaut though.

I wanted to be an artist. But I never got any better, and nowadays anyone with Photoshop can make better crap than I could.

So I'm working towards computer internals and programming.

[Prpl_Mage]

At first I wanted to create. Mostly games, 'cuz it would be neat if people played my games.
Then around 2003 I found RPGM and it was ace. I could make my own games, try some ideas and all that. A dream coming true.
But that's also when I realised how hard and time-consuming it is to make games. Damn.

After that I've pretty much left the creator-dream. Like Ed mentioned earlier here. I can do well, but with today's tools all it takes is a tutorial and anyone can do as well/better than an artist with pen and paper.
And a lack humour ruined comic strip career.

Nowdays I want to help and teach people. If someone needs help with something I want to help out, if someone needs to learn how to do something - I'll lend a hand. If I know a lot of stuff, why not share it?
Therefore I'm thinking about becoming a teacher and at least try to pass on some of my knowledge to the kids who will **** up the future.

[zuhane]

I wanted to own fair rides.

Now I'm gonna be a biomedical scientist!

[lilsniffs3]

I'm still pretty much a kid, so I have had a couple "dreams" in the past few years. Actor, author, screenwriter, game creator, director, and for about a week, a Lego designer-guy-person.

[Zerlina]

I went through phases. Major ones were...figure skater, ballerina, architect, ice cream truck driver, veterinarian, singer, and game designer. But kinda through the whole thing was film acting...so...yeah that one won.

XD!!! I wanted to be an astronaut too... then a cop... then before that a Ninja Turtle.

My childhood dream was to be an Artist, professional, full time.

Im applying for a grant right now. Ill know by mid september if I got it...and if so, well, uh, yeah I guess I made it. If not....then theres always next term.

[Cerebus]

When I was a kid, I had no clue.
Now, I still have no clue.

Actually, I'd like to work in Politic and lead my Nation as a dictator so it can stop failing... but this will never happen.

One thing I'd really like, though, is have my name on the dictionary and/or Wikipedia, whether for good reasons or bad ones. Good would be better, of course, but it's harder to achieve.
