What do you want to be when you grow up??!!

What careers do you think would be fun?

When I grow up . . .

First, I'm going to be either a Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst
Then, I'm going to be a Board Certified Behavior Analyst

For my next career, I want to do something with computers!

My ultimate dream is to sing on broadway - but I think that will have to happen in another life :D

I think being an astronaut would be so cool, or a travel writer - that way I could travel all I wanted to :D
I also think being an artist (painter and/or sculptor) would be interesting. I would like to be a secret shopper and rate stores and their employees
I tossed around the idea of being an ASL (American Sign Language) Interpreter, but I don't think it would hold my interest. I don't think I could pay attention that long.

How about you?!

In my next life, I want to be a wardrobe mistress or a cat.

Well, I was thinking about getting a career in computer.
It would be me starting my own computer company.
Then i thought out getting a career in warning systems/
It would be my starting my own warning system company.
ive thought about other stuff too....

What kind of other stuff Gil? Even stupid dreams count here.

I've always wanted to be a nurse and I will be a nurse it just might take me till I'm 90.

The silly dreams I've had
A kickboxer though I did compete it was only on the ammatuer level.

A professional wrestler (O' shush I was 5)

I don't want to be an ice skater, I just want to be graceful enough to do it.

A race car driver (I sometimes forget I am not resulting in getting pulled over a lot)

Oh yeah i forgot...I also want to work at a school.

There are a lot of jobs relating to schools. Could you be more specific? Do you want to teach? if so what grade level?

I wouldnt mind being a teacher. not sure what grade though. maybe 4th grade.

Define the age that we're suppose to grow up at. In my next life I would like to be a nurse, if I can handle the sight of blood :)

Whatever I wanted to be when I grew up changed weekly.

I'm 28 years old, still changing..

T-Bass

um....i'm 47 and still don't know what i want to be when i grow up.
right now i'm at the end of mom, housekeeper, secretary, cook, nurse, taxidriver - all the things one does as a mom.
i also work as a datatranscriber, looking for a management positon in said company.
i was thinking about taking an art course, because i started in college as an art major.
i also did the medical assistant cert, but decided i really don't like sick people. i can hardly stand my own family when they are sick :p

I still don't know, but you have to pick something, so I'm studying database management. Well, okay, "you" don't have to pick something, I guess, but "one" has to. I have to. The mama-job is getting much less demanding, and will expire altogether in another 12 years or so, so I want to have something else lined up.

So even though I was a social-science major, I opted for something computery because I really really want to be employable. Following your bliss is all very well, but my bliss changes weekly, so I have to follow something a little more steady. I guess.

Hmm..now i think i want to be an engineer...the one that works with trains and locomotives.

Talk about growing up, look at ALL the children posting in the Teen Hangout forum. :p

I love basketball, so my dream careers has always been to play in the NBA. But that's obviously unrealistic. So I wanna be a computer programmer. My plan would be to start at some big company like Microsoft, get some good experience, and then if possible to move to a tiny company or start my own and make video games.

I love writing, so I'm definitly considering Journalism. Don't worry, I won't be one of those annoying journalists that pester you for information :p

I'm also considering Physical Therapy, since I like helping people, and I have a lot of patience.

Binro - - - --how you feel about basketball must be the same way I am about singing and broadway. I think your idea to start at a big company and then build your own, sounds great!!

Welcome, Paws13! what kind of Journalist? newspaper? magazine? any certain topics?

When your sixteen consider a job working as a CNA (Ceritified Nursing Assistant) or a PCA (Personal Care Aide) in most long term and rehabilitive facilities the CNA'S AND PCA'S get to take an active role in physical and occupational therapies. It'll give you a little experiance under your belt, some term knowledge and you make a good chunk of change.

phycologist :cool: EM...or a professional bum :D JOKE i dunno actually

What career(s) do you think sound good, Bedders?!

the one's with lots of money involved lol, i dunno

you know what they say Bedders " 'mo money 'mo problems" not matter how much you make you always find a way to spend it before you've earned it.

i wanna be a child phsychiatrist.if i cant be that then i would want to do something else to do with phsychology

I love writing, so I'm definitly considering Journalism. Don't worry, I won't be one of those annoying journalists that pester you for information :p

I'm also considering Physical Therapy, since I like helping people, and I have a lot of patience.Since I wrote this on Aust 13'th, my career opinion has changed. I found out that journalism is tougher than it looks. I also found out that for physical therapy, you have to train in the OR and ER, and I'm very squeemish :faint:

My new choice is to be an evaluater, or someone who diagnoses people with mental disorders. This is because they're very helpful people, and they give good counslor recommendations, etc...
