A vulcanologist. And I'm about 2 weeks away.

 

Good luck with that, unless there was a spelling error . . .

Back then I would have thought you'd want to be a professional steam boat operator. :P

 

Actually back then, from reading Twain's Life on the Mississippi, I may have.

I'll echo every little kid's dream job.

 

Video Game Designer. Loved playing them when I was younger and wanted to make them but who woulda thunk I'd have not touched a console in two years.

 

Anything sports always peaked my interest as well.

No error, we know Balta is out of his vulcan mind.

FBI agent.

 

The FBI came to our house once when I was about 10 years old. I already found them very interesting, but after that, I thought they were the most bad-ass mutha-phuckers out there.

Murphy Brown.

I wanted to do that but I never actually thought about making a career of it for some reason.

Cartographer. Always loved maps. Still do.

 

Live action sports director...Jim Angio, Arne Harris, etc. Except someone LITERALLY has to die to get that job.

 

All-around lazy bum...if I could get paid for this, I'd be a friggin' gazillionaire.

I just knew I was going to be a star in the NBA.

 

I lived in an all mexican neighborhood and would dominate the basketball court at the park.

 

I am not joking either, I was delusional.

Wha choo mean...was?

I always wanted to be a train engineer......then discovered the long hours, always being on call, having no family time....decided to be a baseball player, never made it to college baseball other than the club team.

 

Than i wanted to be an actuary...but the otehr kids in the upper level math classes blew me away, too hell with those nerds!

Private investigator (like the Hardy Boys), secret service agent, teacher, journalist (war corespondent)

Congratulations!

In the order I remember...

 

Baseball player, Baseball GM, sports reporter

 

Then I got mildly more realistic...Demand planner, Business Analyst, things of that ilk

 

Now I want to be a lawyer.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be John Lennon.

Carl, don't be a goof. I'm making a serious point here. ..

 

Nice BC reference.

I wanted to be a fire truck when i was really little. That uh.... didn't work out.

The firetruck can eat eight times it's body weight. The ambulances will have to wait their turn.

When I was about 5 years old, I wanted to be an artist because I loved coloring in Batman and Spiderman coloring books.

 

Then when I played in little league I wanted to be a baseball player. Like many of you, I tried to copy a player's swing which often led to poor results. Lets see, I tried to imitate Julio Franco's, Ventura's, and Durham's swing for a couple of seasons.

 

After baseball didnt work out, I wanted to be a cop like my dad. As of right now, I work for the CPD, but I'm just waiting for the next test.

True story, the first thing I wanted to be when I grew up was the President. Then it was someone running their own business.

I wanted to be one of the following:

 

FBI Agent

Lawyer

Baseball GM or Pitcher

Business Man

Pilot. I'm colorblind though.
