What was the dream profession you always wanted when you were a younger child?

I strongly remember being obsessed with tornadoes as a kid. My plan was to grow up, move to the United States and become a storm chaser. There were a number of VHS documentaries I once owned that were about tornadoes. I just found them so cool and fascinating.

A few. I wanted to be a F1 driver, and many jobs associated with space (but curiously never an astronaut), particularly the people who study asteroids/comets which always fascinated me.

I wanted to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, my dad even further fuelled that dream by getting me an awesome lightsaber, cloak and Obi-Wan mask, which I totally donned at the "what's your dream career?" day at school all those millions of years ago.

something creative, like an artist, because I liked to draw a lot. I'm now leading the creative department of the webdesign studio I work for, so I kind of stuck to my plan :)

A math teacher. Boring, I know. I became a chemistry professor, so my aim was pretty good though.

I remember that I wanted to become Death.. No I am quiet serious, and when my teacher found that out I was put into "talks" with the school shrink, it was a welcome interruption in math class.

I never had any kind of career in mind, even as a kid. Similar to Tylendal, the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a dinosaur, and also told my parents that if they had another kid i would rather have a dinosaur for a brother/sister.

I wanted to be a zoologist.

Unfortunately I visited a zoo and the smell was too strong and I didn't want to actually touch most of them. Plus, animals poop...a lot. Nature was just too natural for me.

So I did the logical thing and became a greedy banker

I never really had any dreams. I think I may have wanted to be a writer at some point but that died quickly.

I wanted to be a dude lying around in an opium induced haze in an Asian brothel.

In all seriousness, I wanted to be astronaut, then I realized that would never happen because of my physical condition. Then I wanted to be a mechanic like my father and grandfather, but their skills never seemed to catch on with me.

A police officer, until I realized my vision was getting worse and worse and that my hearing also got somewhat worse (now I am completely deaf in the right ear). Oh well.

Honestly, I've wanted to become an author since I learned to read and write; I never really grew out of it haha.

I wanted to be a veterinarian, doctor, psychiatrist, or scientist of some kind. For a while I also operated under the delusion that I could be a professional musician.

A police officer. I'm not sure why, it just sounded fun. Grew out of that almost straight away though.

I jumped around 400 small "OH I WANT TO DO THIS" phases, but none of them ever stuck, so I guess technically "nothing".
