    I wanted to be a computer programmer... working with IT systems for front line police officers, to enable them to query anything, anywhere, any time.

    Unbelievably... I might just get my wish!!! Stoked at this stage, but we'll see...

    - Helicopter Pilot (my dad worked for the 'old' Powerboard and he used Helicopters to put the lines up, thought it was awesome to be able to fly one until I found out how much it costs!).
    - Office Administrator, but hope to one day own my own business.

    At primary school I wanted to be a marine biologist. Then my father towed me around behind his boat so I could see what it's like to be shark bait.

    Now Im just a mum looking for full time work.

    I wanted to be a Jockey (short enough, but couldn't handle having to starve) or a rich bitch who rode horses all day, training and selling.....
    but alas I'm a nanny and a student.

    Perhaps the interaction you had has given you a warped perception of what theyr'e really like? you know they are quite normal behind closed doors when your not being told off right?! lol......

    I wanted to join the Navy, as I lived on a yacht as a kid, then I wanted to fly a Skyhawk for the A/Force, and be a Firefighter, and a Cop, hahaha.

    Now- Been in the Navy, "re-treaded" to the Air Force (obviously not as a SkyHawk Pilot!) - now a firefighter, hmmmm, dunno maybe i'll swap uniforms again at some stage just to complete my list......! I think anything with flashing lights and a siren I wanted to be a part of, pretty sure I wanted to be a paramedic too....

    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    Good luck. You have history like INCIS to contend with.

    At the age of 5 I was telling family members I wanted to 14 kids and no husband, but I found out where kids come from

    At Primary School I wanted to be a vet.....found out I would have to put animals down, so that was a no go.

    At High School I wanted to be a police officer, went to the recruiting officer in Gizzy and he promptly told me I was too short!

    Then I wanted to be an Accountant, but I hate numbers. Then I wanted to join the Army, but I didn't like to be shouted out...made me cry. Then I wanted to become a Manager, but I can barely organise myself let alone anyone else!

    I am a general dogs body/admin/pa/reception bitch at a company that sells businesses.
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    Professional Mechanical Engineer is what I wanted to be.

    A chat about the future showed me a business degree would take me places an Engineering Degree wouldn't... so I did that instead - to my enduring regret I might add.

    And now I sell Software.
