What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a railway conductor or train driver, cause i like thomas the tank...well, i cant say the last part changed, but atleast im a youtuber....i guess?
 
There are many things that I wanted to be when I was younger, but I'm only going to be naming a few. One of those things happened to be a professional wrestler (preferably one with a mask or at least some face paint. Oh, and a cool cape too). Yeah, you heard me - A WRESTLER!

Well, it might not have come true, but hey, anything is possible! If I ever do become a professional wrestler one day and manage to win the world championship belt, I'll be sure to give The Bell Tree Forums a shoutout.

when I was a smol bean I wanted to be a veterinarian because I've always really loved animals and I wanted to help them, but when I started playing piano at 6 years old I decided that's what I wanted to do for a living. now I'm 22 and I would still love to play piano for a living, I'm almost there 😔 🎹

in case anyone's wondering, the veterinarian thing obv didn't last long and now I'm kinda glad I didn't pursue that career bc doing any kind of medicine takes a lot of work and focus, the latter of which I have limited supply of lol
 
I have not grown up yet but I still want to be a Pastry Chef. I have always wanted to do something that involves people and food. It has never changed! I guess it KIND of has changed though. When I was 5 I wanted to have a bunny petting zoo. Then I decided that I wanted to have a bakery and then in the back you can pay $5 to pet bunny's soooo it workes out in the end. I HOPE IT HAPPENS. (If anyone has TM'ed Yum Yum's bakery I will be sad :( I AM GOING TO COME FOR YOU 📃🖋)
 
I wanted to be a photographer but then I found out that it requires a lot of skill which is something I can't do.
 
When I was little I wanted to be a vet for a bit, and then in middle school a cartoonist. After that I didn't have concrete ideas just interests for side-jobs like content creator.
 
Fashion designer, but I was never any good at making clothes. I do still have a very large interest in fashion though.
 
I wanted to be a veterinarian, I love animals. However, I ended up choosing human services and psychology as my major in college
 
According to my mom, journalist. Kinda glad I did not unless it would have been some basic editing job or stuff lol.
 
a lot of things, but i really liked the idea of being a doctor or a veterinarian. neither of which are attainable at this point lol.
 
My first dream job, I wanted to be an astronomer. I have always had an affinity for space. Space travel still seems very fascinating, but I don't think I would be able to handle it. XDDD

A lot has changed since then, and now I want to be an author, specifically a non-fiction/self-help author.
 
Looking back at my journal from 5th grade, I wanted to be a florist simply because I liked flowers. XD I have no interest in gardening, however.

I wanted to be an author or journalist for the longest time, though I don't think that's very feasible and I haven't done much writing for the past few years anyway.

I always thought being a YouTuber would be cool but I don't think it's something I'd want to do for a living. I've done some videos here and there but it was mostly for fun, and I forget that I even have a channel to begin with lol.

When I was 16, I wanted to be a musician because I was starting to get into metal music, but I don't have what it takes just yet. I still need to buy my instrument of choice... It's still something I'd like to dabble with in my lifetime but I'm far from having that much talent to pursue a career and be successful, to boot.
 
I think my first dream job as a little kid was being a teacher.... Until at some point I then wanted to be a vet, then botanist, then wanted to start a business, but today I'm heading towards Psychology and hoping to either work with kids (Child Therapist) in my work or study Forensic Psychology, since the subject is basically one of my special interests.

It sounds like you could write about the lives of astronauts!
