When You Grow Up

[queenbee]

Is anyone actually doing what they thought they would be, when they graduated high school?

Not me.

[coosa]

NO. I went to college (for free) to become a high school teacher. I got married my junior year and never finished. Now, I wish I had gone to business school to become a financial planner. But I am very happy with my life. My best job was as a bookkeeper working at a small savings and loan.

I was going to be an attorney but kept dropping out and going back to college. Gave it up completely for a great paying (at the time) job in the music business. Sometimes I regret not following through but obviously not enough or I would have gone back and finished by now!

Well, I've always wanted to be a writer, just a bit more famous!

When I was in high school, I was the one who said - "Nope, no kids for me!" So, that way definitely off! But I don't regret it in any way.

I'll say this much - I've got great kids, a great husband, and many things to be thankful for, but like it says on one of my daughters t-shirts...

THIS is NOT the life I ordered!

I wanted to go to school for photography, but that didn't happen. I never really thought about what I wanted to do, except that I knew I wanted to get married and have a family eventually. First time was just a test, got it right the second time. When I was still in school I envisioned my married life more like Samantha on Bewitched (not the witch part, lol), just the house, the neighborhood, etc. That didn't happen, even tho Mr. C has made a very nice life for me. ;D

I honestly wanted to be a go go dancer over at a nightclub in Daytona Beach. They would hire you if you fit the costume and I did, but my first husband would not let me do it. Imagine dancing and getting paid for it!!

[tessa]

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

[coosa]

Maybe we can both be go go dancers at the nursing home!!

I bet ya'll would do a great job! Not sure what that would do to the population over there though! LOL!!! Getting the males all excited and making all the women mad! Hmmm, all the local gentlemen would be fighting to get in. LOL ;D

Kinda sort of. When I graduated I dreamed of being a wife and mother. So I accomplished that goal. As a younger child I had a different occupation in mind. After being married for 15 years I decided that I would begin my college career to fulfill that dream. So, with the love and support from my husband and children I did just that. I guess you could say that I have reached well beyond my high school plans and dreams. God has really blessed me in my life!

When i was a young teen i wanted to be a veternarian, have always loved animals. When i found out i would have to go to college for 8 years that changed my mind. I work with kids now so there isn't much difference. (joking)

Good one Summer.

I wanted to join the Coast Guard but my mother wouldn't sign for me, I graduated when I was 17. I wanted to run patrol on drug runners on the ocean.

I would also like to be a librarian. A big city library with ton's of books.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would become interested in herbs, homemade soaps and other nature interactions. Have chickens and definitely not a garden. I hated working in the garden when I was little. But I got one now.

I always wanted to be a Veterinarian.

I never thought I would be interested in computers,but I am.

[ana]
