I'm sure we all wanted to be something grand and exciting as child. Some of us just grow out of such a phase while others have their ambitions drowned in a wave of cynicism. When I was a lad I was obsessed with prehistory, particular the Mesozoic era, and I aspired to become a palaeontologist before I realised it was digging up bones. I also wanted to be an Astronaut until one fateful day I saw that James Bond film that opens with an Astronaut being separated from his ship and floating into space, a traumatic opening to say the least.
What did you want to be?
Edit: I'm surprised that so many people wanted to be palaeontologists, although Dinosaurs are pretty awesome.
