I wanted to own a bar. I was even so very close to it, but my partner let me down. It would have led me to a totally different path.


What about you?

as a teenager I wanted to be a business woman. not too far from now. only difference is I know what kind of business I want now. couldn't be bothered with details when I was younger

Airplan pilot.

From the 8th grade through college, I wanted to be a broadcaster (radio only). I lived at my high school and college radio stations.

Never worked in a station after college.

Why is it some mothers insist on their kids being pilots, doctors or surgeons?

I would have loved to be a childrens tv presenter.
What made you change, or did you just never get any breaks?

In my own defense, I have given up the dream...I don't want him any more.

roodboi said:

omg DO IT!!!!! Seriously, a barber's license takes less time then a cosmetology license.

roodboi said:

I wanted to do that too.

(You will see from this thread I had lots of ideas.
But it just wouldn't suit me and I was soon put off the idea. )

roodboi said:

A she, married for 24 years with 4 kids, thank you very much!!

I wanted to be a singer/dancer on Broadway.....

Never made it to Broadway, however I have been in a few East coast troupes....but that was long ago.

Now I am Manager of Legal Administration for a major global battery manufacturer.

Pretty far removed, I would say.

When I had my daughter at 22 years old, I changed my career path then. I always wanted to leave the Indianapolis market. I never wanted to work in radio here so I changed up. I need to get the bills paid so I did retail management briefly, started volunteering at an AIDS Service Org and got a job as a program director and I've been working in social service ever since. I never thought about going back. Bloggin' and writing helps me to get that creative thing out of me that radio provided.


did you really want to know all of that....lol.

MissMe said:

I have been called many things in my 41 years, but never a gay she?

I wanted to be a psychiatrist and then I wanted to own my own record store.

Yeah, not happening.

it was supposed to be me wearing the leopard outift on stage wtih those boys!!!

I wanted to be a paleontologist.

Since I was a child,
I've always dreamed of dying totally penniless & unloved.

Joining the org has been a big step in making that once-distant dream seem possible.

Keep shooting for the stars. Dreams do come true!

When I left school I wanted to go to art school, but my dad wouldn't let me, "go & get a propper job" he said. Now at the age of 47 I'm off to art school! Never give up on your dreams!

PaisleyPark5083 said:

I am so sorry.

Isn't there some guy here called PaisleyPark too?

MissMe said:

Yeah! refer to post #17!

Oops. My bad. Sorry.

i always wanted to either be an egyptologist, or be in an orchestra. the orchestra thing went to hell when my parents sent me to a high school with no music program (until my nagging got the administration to start one my junior year ), and wouldn't let me take private lessons. my interest in egyptology turned into a wider interest in art history, and that's what i'm doing now. i love it, but i think if i'd been more strict with myself and kept doing music i could've made a career out of it. oh well.
