I remember wanting to become a teacher until I ended up hating school about 7th grade. As a kid we all had some profession we wanted to be, what was yours?

I wanted to be stuck in dead end job dealing with the public...particularly assholes with shitty credit and a hardcore desire to waste my time because they have nothing better to do. I really really really wanted to work for a guy who knows very little about the goings on right under his nose and most importantly a guy who's totally irresponsible with his business at everyone's expense but his own.

Thankfully I'm doing what I wanted to do.

I wanted to be a race car driver. Im about as close as Im going to get with my current car so Im happy. I can always go to the Drag strip and maybe win some cash I guess, so there's that.

a cop when I was very young, followed by a video game designer or an author. I pretty much kept both those aspirations.

Princess, dancer, actress, film editor, cartoon character (not a voice, I actually wanted to be animated), fashion designer, costume designer, costume historian, interior designer, music historian, film historian, architect, architectural preservationist... and more I've forgotten. Now I'm working on becoming an art librarian.

Also, when I was five and lived in San Francisco I wanted to be a prostitute. Not because I knew what they were or did, but because they wore high heels and feather boas all day long and I thought that was just about as fancy as any girl could possibly be.

Yeah thats right because you aren't allowed to wear any sort of corrective lenses to fly one of those jets. I wonder if corrective vision surgery counts?

Singer, Dancer, Actress, paparazzi maven, socialite. At some brief points in time I wanted to be a meteorologist, dental hygienist, and a teacher.

But, after some summer in-service thing no one else wanted to go to for Student Council for some safety committee (all I knew was it was a weekend away from my parents and there were cute boys there...) all I wanted to do was "help people" and non-profits here I come.

I flirted with the idea of doctor or lawyer in college, but that counts as grown-up and i couldn't score well enough on an LSAT or MCAT so that's out the door.

A ballerina- until puberty hit and ballerinas can't have boobs. I had all the other gifts- high arches- strong ankles- excellent turn out- long neck- flexibility- but my dream was over. :depressed

I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a little kid. Eventually I lost interest. In high school I decided I wanted to be a history teacher but I was too fucking lazy to get good grades. Also the prospect of 6 years of college wasn't too appealing to me.

We used to live in Houston when I was a kid. We would attend the stock show and rodeo. I wanted to be a rodeo clown. I even had a chicken shirt I would wear EVERYWHERE. It was a white, cowboy style shirt with red chickens all over. My mom finally cut it to shreds.

When I decide to go out its probably going to be the only one I know about thats nearby, San Antonio Raceway. Before I do go though I want to get at least intake, exhaust and a power programmer. that should put me into the mid to low 12's :toast
