What did you want to be when you were in high school?

[L2R]

^^Fuckers. That story made me sad

...

i still have my artistic release in the lounge via mspaint and stuff.

I wanted to be a bus driver/poet/drug dealer.

 

[Khadijah]

to be totally honest i wanted to be a dealer....I didnt really see my self workin a 'normal' job or didnt kno wat i wanted to do as a job.....i guess thas why ive always been bouncin from job to job that is jus whatever i can do at the time instead of makin a carreer or whatever....But now that im in beauty school at least i got some kinda direction to my life i guess

I've always wanted to be a psychologist but when I got to UCLA I realized that there was too much math and science for me to actually enjoy it. I also wanted to be a journalist after dabbling in the high school paper scene.

But...now I don't want to do anything but travel. How can I get paid to do that? Anyone have ideas?

Travel agent girl! cmon now! Or to follow the journalist idea....a travel writer...u get paid and get ur trips paid for to go around and review places and write articles and take pics about em and shit.

I think in high school i wanted to become a film maker or whatever that entails. Although it's still an interest to me, i think i may follow the career path of a pharmacologist.

 

[Unglued]

When I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot. In high school I wanted to work on Wall St. I am glad I got over both of those because I hate flying, and everyone on Wall St. just looks so sad!

I would still rather play drums 24/7 than do anything else, but that don't exactly play the billz too well

i wanted to be a pediatrician. but about a year into being a premed major, i switched to psychology. the whole doctor thing wasn't really appealing to me. now i am working towards my master's in special ed.

my ten year reunion is in about a year and half. i doubt i will fly back to attend, altho stranger things have happened.

i was honestly going to rent a limo and take a hooker to my 10 year reunion, but it was really only about 30 people eating in some stupid trendy restaurant, and i went and got drunk at the local tap instead.

 

[L O V E L I F E]

Stand-up comic.

It's been my 'astronaut' job since early childhood.

 

[Jabberwocky]

anthropologist

i'm becoming a philosopher instead though

 

[Rogue Robot]

biochemist. not too far off studying biogeochem. heh.

 

[Jabberwocky]

thats awesome what are you specializing in or is it too early for that yet?

 

[ZeusUnit]

soil analysis, basically. i go out in fields and take soil cores. then i run various tests on them to test for CO2 emissions and whatnot. i still don't full understand what i do, but i have a while.

plus side, i can be dirty and no one cares!

 

[DarthMom]

had NO fuckin clue. still don't. still clueless. but a good salary and retirement says i will stay here while i enjoy my real education during my free time. the hubby makes the dollars, i make the gravy, so it isn't important. which is a nice way to find out soon what i really want.

and i am thinking that is an education. what i took advantage of when younger and had the time, i will be cramming in now, and without the desire of a career when it is over.

 

[bRoken&foRgoTTen]

a make-up artist ... no joke
i went through this really weird phase from age 14-18. i thought clubkids were the shit, and owned more makeup then your local drug store prob carries. i was totally that "gay kid" at HS that everyone knew and did everyones makeup for homecoming and prom and shit ...

i cringe at the thought know ... so much has changed ... not that i have any prob with males using makeup ... i just grew out of all the crap and grew up.

it would be so weird now to see anyone i went to HS with ... 5 years can change a lot. srsly no one, and i mean NO ONE (including myself) would have pictured how different i could be.

 

[jdizzle]

I wanted to be a kingpin. My backup plans was biz or law school. Still undecided on which of those I want to go to.

I would like to do criminal defense or intellectual property, but bizness school is SO much easier and no bars etc.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[Noodle]

I'm out about 17 years now.

I wanted to be an Artist when I was in highschool.

If I put more time into producing I could probably be making a living doing just that.

 

[dtugg]

Drug dealer.

 

[chucky1432]

I never wanted to be anything in high school, never even thought about it

 

[Vandalaay]

Museum curator. I abhorred all things mathematical. Ended up an accountant!
