ReplyDeleteI told my parents on our first trip to Calgary after I'd seen my first pumpjack by Swift Current that I wanted to work with those some days. My parents thought I was insane but I became an engineer and work for an oil and gas company. I've bought several million dollars worth of pumpjacks for the various companies I worked for so the dream I guess came true however, I know now that it might not be a dream job!
When I grew up I wanted to be a heart surgeon! I love helping people, and the heart facinated me! I unfortunately cannot handle the sight of sore skin! so needless to say that dream did not come true, but I have found I can still touch hearts by doing so many other things!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I toyed with many ideas...being an author - hated writing...being a forensic scientist (wayyyy before CSI days)-science courses were too hard!
ReplyDeleteI finally decided to go into nursing - not exactly my dream job, but one that I really enjoy - most days!
Nancy, I love your blog and congrats on making it to 15,000.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grew up I wanted to be a drama teacher. I did not make that dream. I became a nurse and just live with drama in my life!! My life is better than it would have been had I met my original dream. Sometimes we have to see that our dreams have a ceiling and we need to break through to see another choice.

I dreamed of becoming a librarian but when I discovered you need to get a BA first and then an MA in Library Arts, I realized I couldn't afford it. So instead, I married, had 3 kids and discovered stamping. I am still attracted to libraries and read a LOT.

When I grew up I wanted to be a teacher, but never did that. I am actually a dental assistant, yep I look in peoples mouth all day, and yep it can be pretty gross, but I love my job.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be around aircrafts when I grew up, maybe as a pilot. My dad was in the military and later in an airline. I was told that when it was his turn to babysit, he'd take me to work sit me in front of a window and I'd spend the couple of hours watching planes take off and land.
ReplyDeleteI debated joining the military, did the air cadets thing, but pilot was a little out of reach...I have problems with height!
So now I am Aerospace engineer, with a hangar full of aircrafts right below me, that I can crawl on any time I want!!!
I guess in a way I did achieve my dream, not quite the way I had intended though!

THanks for being sooo generous! I grew up deaf and wanted to be an airline stewardess as I love to travel. Unfortunately I was not able to be a stewardess because of my deafness BUT I have managed to travel overseas by volunteering with other deaf organizations!

Thanks for the chance to win! This is fun! When I grew up, I wanted to marry prince charming and be independently wealthy! One out of two isn't bad (no, I'm not independently wealthy! :) Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose what to do with every minute of your day... dreamy sigh...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Val

I always wanted to be a dentist. I wore braces for almost four years and for some reason I thought it would be cool to be a dentist. I ended up becoming a psychologist

I wanted to be a truck driver. I am very thankful that I changed my mind because I definately know that job wouldn't have been for me now.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed being a stay at home mom but two months ago I started working as an Education Asst.

I believe I have achieved my dream of being a mommy and I always wanted to be an artist, I finished 2 years of my fine arts degree before taking time off to have babies, now I make awesome fingerpaintings with my boys!

When I was growing up I knew that I wanted to travel. I wasn't sure what I would be wen I grew up, or where I would live, but I knew I wanted to see the world. I did that alot but not since I had my first child 16 years ago.
ReplyDeleteSo--it's still my dream and I'm going to make it come true, once the kids are out and on their own.
