What kind of job or career did you want to have when you were younger? Are you doing what you thought you would?

I want to be an astro-phyicist. Up until I was a senior in High School that was my goal. Then I took my first and only Physics class. I sucked so bad at it. I sucked so bad that my teacher gave me a mercy D because he knew I was actually doing my best and he didn't want to see me not graduate high school. Yea...he actually told me that is what he was going to do. But now I am a writer...go figure.

such a good question! i never knew what i wanted to be/do. still don't really know! i know pieces and parts, but for me i think it has more to do with the journey and what i am able to create in the process so the actual 'job' or 'career' industry isn't important.

Not at all. When I was younger, I really wanted to be a marine mammologist and study dolphins and whales... even did a camp at SeaWorld one summer... now I work in internet consulting (after getting degrees in theatre and education).

I wanted to be an actress and studied in college. I just never took the steps to pursue it. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened. I occasionally see a classmate of mine doing bit rolls on tv show. I am sure, though, that he worked his butt off to get even a few lines. I don't think I could have done that. I am glad that I eventually became a teacher. I find the acting skills can come in handy a lot!!!
