I gave up all of my dreams in college (3 colleges actually), when I found out that nothing kills the fun of your hobbies like doing them for a living. After I left Art Institute, I ended up working in car sales & couldn't bring myself to draw for a year.

I think I'd rather be a traditional leech...I mean housewife. Just cook & clean when I have to, then spend my ungodly amount of free time surfing the net, reading comic books, & playing video games. All I have to do is find a man who really likes food, hates children, & has low standards on what a "clean" house looks like, & is willing to do my taxes for me.

...Steam-shovel.

I want to be a level designer or programmer. Why? Well, why not.

 

[Blatherscythe]

I'd like to enter the medical field, as a surgeon if I can.

 

[Insanum]

I wouldnt mind being a cop (if i havent already made it obvious) - Although ive been told i have talents in advertising, Acting & (wierdly enough) Horse riding.

Right now I think either musician or work at my father's investment firm. Failing both of those, either dentist, prison guard, or anything else where I get to cause people pain and misery, or get into politics so I can get marijuana legalized, abolish trade-unions and finally fix our education system.

When I grow up I'm gonna be a steam shovel

Really, I never put much thought into it, being a teacher sounds ok. You get paid for yelling at children.

I've liked the idea of being a lawyer or someone linked to a job in law. There will always be crimes so jobs in that department won't run out any time soon.

Also anything linked with Forensics or crime scenes. Don't know why but they facinate me.

Lastly I would like something linked with business. Advertisement maybe.

To be honest I don't have a clue at the moment, I'm letting life lead me instead of leading my life.

 

[Ninjamedic]

I wanna be a fire engine.

....what?

 

[StarkRavingSane]

When I grow up I wanna be an AWESTRONAUT. Like an ASTRONAUT only more AWESOME.

Spoiler: boring stuff

I'm also qualified to teach English as a foreign language. Currently I'm a freelance translator/interpreter and I am working on my second degree (computer graphics, will specialise in 3D and prostitute my skills to make cheap aesthetically and artistically horrific Unreal Tournament or Gears of War - like graphics).

3D digital artist, i'm starting my education in a month, and in 3½ years i'll be fit to work on games, movies and all sorts of otehr stuff that involves 3D.

Heey, good choice! Keep it up! Get a good job! Then get fired over an unfortunate incident involving you, your employer's daughter and a malfunctioning watercooler so that they can hire me instead!

Seriously, though, best of luck.

I always wanted to be a comic book artist, I'm working on my comic now! ..Well not this very second but yeah. :|

 

[mikecoulter]

A spaceman...

'I be in space!'

And all that jazz...

 

[Sebenko]

I always wanted to be a complete and utter bastard, hated by everyone.
Alternatively, a quiet life with my partner.

They're both good.
