When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Veterinarian! I was so into it, nothing bothered me, the blood, surgery--then one day I was like

, and have been really squeamish ever since. Then from that it was Olympic Dressage rider, but I learned that working your way up the top of the horse ladder you come across really mean, mean and nasty people, so that's on hold indefinitely. I have always had a fascination with Archeology and Paleontology, love digging in the dirt and finding stuff, but my area is devoid of fossilized treasures--I would have to move and I love where I live.

So now I am trying to start a farm business and I also have a historical building in my town that I would like to renovate and sell bulk foods in or something.

Cool thread!

When we were little, my brother and I went and asked dad what we could be when we grew up. He told us we could be anything we wanted! We were so excited! We ran outside and sat down and made plans on what we were going to be. He decided to be a monkey, and me a little black and white puppy. We could not wait!!! We are still waiting!!

I wanted to be a vet.




Then I became allergic to all animals but fish.




Right on.

A county extension agent when young then a research scientist in high school. Shoulda stuck with the first one as I couldn't pull the freight for the second. Never came close to either.

When I was a kid, when my parents asked me that question, I'd respond with:

"The Boss of EVERYONE!"

No clue.....

Maybe a large animal vet, except I hate studying.

This would be a good field as there are less and less large animal vets around these days. Suburban on the edge of rural areas can really use these kinds of vets. Everyboyd is going just into pets.
