[devilwoman]

wanted to be a nurse and turned out to be a nursery assistant, then a housewife, should have worked harder and got more qualifications

[aka pixi]

I wanted to be a mad scientist. I got banned from chemistry for life though when I was about 13 so alas I never got the chance :(

[muppeteer]

i never knew what i wanted to do. perhaps i should have given it more thought then maybe i would not have ended up in insurance for 10 years!

[andy-hughes]

I always wante to wite, and I do, part-time, for music magazine, so I have got my wish, but I do have a day-time job so I don't have to worry about paying the bills. Best of both worlds really.

As a child i had no ambition but i certainly did not wanr to be teacher.when my partner left me with a three year old i did the degree/pgce as teaching is the only career that allows you to be with the kids.

I wanted to be a Policewoman ~ unfortunately I was too short :o(

I became a florist instead..but nowadays I work for Mr Pippa in the home office!

[dot.hawkes]

I wanted to be a conservator but never went into it seriously so just enjoyed myself too much in my teenage/ twenties,

[Dollie]

Wanted to be a famous singer - got my wish (sort of!) the singer bit not the fame - spent 20 years as a female artist in working men's clubs around Yorkshire/Lancashire! Changed direction six years ago and went to Uni to study - now doing something far more respectable !!

[jump79]

Fashion designing. Have just got started in my career, so only time will tell where I end up.

[noxlumos]

I wanted to be a historian and politician when I was a kid and instead ended up in prison then started my own businesses running garages and property developing amongst other things. I did get a history degree however and I do write, so I almost made my ambition eventually.

[PAWSABELLE]

I wanted to be a vet but ended up being a PA in the NHS

[OBonio]

I got my first computer when I was 9. Been fascinated with them since and now I'm 30. I work with them day in day out as a programmer. After all that time I've realised computers aren't really that good a thing... but they keep food in my daughter's mouth :o)

[fee-is-me]

Good question ~posy-jo~!

I wanted to either teach or write.

After having my own business for a while (doing neither of these things!) i was finally in a position (financially) to do both.

I now teach AND write.

And i am a very happy little bunny, indeed!

[~posy-jo~]

I'm an administrator/PA/general-dogsbody at the moment, but applying to get into midwifery- can't wait! x

[fee-is-me]

Lol... yes i am familiar (well i have been around a while)!

I was PURPOSE but a week ago i changed my name - i posted the details up on here so as not to be confused with you-know-who... lol... but was then promptly accused of being her... ho hum...
