Katie has always loved animals so she had talked about becoming a vet, then it was a marine biologist after our 1st trip to Sea World.

You mean besides rich and famous and a celebrity who doesn't have to go to school? Sigh. In real life she wants to work in a zoo. She's wanted to do that for quite a few years now. We talk about it all the time and she knows she needs a degree in animal sciences and maybe a Master's to be a curator which is what she wants. She doesn't want to just shovel poop her whole life. We shall see how it all works out.

I wanted to be a teacher or a nurse. The idea of giving someone a needle though freaked me out. Then when I got to highschool I had no idea so I took clothing and textiles because I was good at it. Dumb. Never worked in the field, but ended up in a government job which pays well, has super benefits and if interesting if not a job I'm passionate about. I did some career counselling a few years ago when I HATED my job and it said I should be a teacher. LOL I would like to get into corporate training maybe someday. I applied for that job this summer but of course wasn't bilingual. So after

Jordyn is not entirely sure yet, she is thinking of being a teacher and a coach, and an artist.

When I was a teenager, I was going to be an architect, and possibly a chef. Definately very far from where I ended up, although I do alway think about possibly going back to school one day for my architect degree.

What does your tween/teen want to be when they grow up? My son could care less, anything that involves sleeping until noon and absolutely NO effort! HAHA!!! My daughter has said for years she wanted to attend Harvard Law School, and would I buy her a chuhuaha (sp?) dog if she got a scholarship? Hehe... I think she's starting to waver, finally getting old enough to realize there's more out there besides what she saw in her favorite movie...

As a tween/teen, what did you want to be when you grew up? I really wanted to be a vet, to save all of the world's animals. As I told my daughter when she asked me WHY I didn't do it, I responded because "No one ever told me I could!". It took me 20 years to get my degree but now I love working with autistic kids instead of animals!

My tween wants to play in the NFL and own a restaurant. He wants to play football and cook at his restaurant on the off season.


I wanted to be a mom. For as long as I could remember, I wanted to be a stay at home mom and then when my kids went to school, I wanted to teach. My DAD tried to shove law down my throat...but it was not for me. I kinda sorta teach...I train adults. So I guess, my childhood dream came true, huh? =)

Hannah wants to be a Kindergarten teacher. I would be suprised if she did not end up being a teacher. Although, she loves watching the designer shows on tv and sometimes she says she wants to be an architect. My DS9 wants to be a video games tester, sigh.........But what he tells people is he wants to be a marine biologist. He loves dolphins.

I don't remember what I wanted to be. I always loved school, math especially. I ended up getting and engineering degree, worked for 10 years, and decided I didn't really like it. Now I think I would like to teach. We'll see.....
