Excuse my ignorance whats a medical geologist?

I'm not sure if it's the correct name, but it involves travelling the world, and helping to improve people's lives by natural means. Eg: High levels of aresenic in water in China, causes poisoing. So then, from a geo point of view, how can we make it better or solve the problem?

Oh nice! I like that idea!
That would be incredibly interesting and very satisfying!

I've never had any firm idea of what I wanted to do for a crust. In fact, I still don't know and I'm pushing 28.

Obviously, I had to do something so I managed to bullshit my way into a software development company when I was 21. I went Software Support > Technical Writer > Business Analyst. I'm still in IT, now working as a Technical Analyst at a consultancy company. It's not for me but I'll fall into something else when I move cities eventually...

I guess it beats taking over dad's motor trimming business!

Oh FE I love your cheeky fun spirit.

I wanted to be a heap of things.

Initially I wanted to be wonder woman...but those shorts got outta style so quick!
Seriously though I wanted to be an elite Gymnast but my training went by the way side when we moved to Singapore and with all the heat I grew up got too tall and developed a generous set of boobs the death of a dream!
Then I wanted to be a journalist but hated the having to pry too much thing that journos do so decided instead to take the photos...but I liked it too much and I found that photographing random peoples weddings get me down...boring!!!! Stopped enjoying it once I was being paid for it so gave it away.
Then I decided that I would join the army to get paid while I train...but they didn't want me due to my asthma. SO I did the course I had enrolled in anyway - Dental Technology...making dentures, crowns, bridges and noses and ears. Apart from the fantastic smell of acrylic curing it bored me stupid and I couldn't forsee living my life from a lab surrounded in plaster casts of the insides of peoples mouths.
Then I went into Learning and Development in HR - which I love....and I have come full circle because as a working mum with a full and busy life it seems I am still trying to be Wonder Woman.

My ultimate goal for 'when I finally grow up' is to be a kept woman! I think the official job title is BIMBO...yeah I could handle that. Now, how do I find me a sugar daddy

I met Number One's mum today.... and I know what this lady REALLY wanted to be when she was a little Number One (Yes, a little shit, but aside from that..... and it wasn't initially Wonder Woman..... hehehehehe)

Then? Cop

Over the years? Bit of everything!

Now? Business Consultant with Telstra Clear. Low pay, low stress, lots of fun!
Almost like being semi-retired!

Growing up? NAh!

Go on,Trudes, cough up! What was it??

[jafar]

then: Civil engineer or navy captain. Later on a breast cancer specialist.
Did a building trade & was a motorcycle courier for a while. That was followed by 25+ years in transport in one position or another.
Currently a driver & am enjoying the relatively low stress levels.

You just shut your mouth or you'll be getting a whippin! I don't remember it therefore it didn't happen...my mother was a huge Valium addict when I was younger. Ok truth be told I drove her to it but either way, you can't count on her memory ok!

Growing up I wanted to be unemployed.

Now I'm an anal-yst and wish I was unemployed..

[Pedrostt500]

at 4 yrs I wanted to drive a Tractor,
at 8 yrs I wanted to drive trucks
at 12 yrs I wanted to be a builder
at 14 yrs i wanted to test matteresses with Sandra

[smoky]

I wanted to be a rock star – but the biggest band I was in was a blue grass band
I wanted to race cars and bikes, crashed a few cars and fell of a couple of bikes, was too slow and not enough money
Wanted to be a preacher – but couldn’t stop sinning
Wanted to have my own car yard, but can’t stand the car sales industry

So not being good at anything really, too honest to sell cars, to dishonest to preach – I ended up as a bureaucrat

[maybe]

Wanted to be an Ambo, did that then joined Corrections, was a volunteer with the fire brigade and am now a Transit Officer in Aussie, for those that dont know what that is it is a Railway Policeman

Plenty of time to decide yet...

Plenty of time to decide yet...

Ha ha ha - me too!!

When I was very young, I wanted to be a hairdresser and go all creative on the blue rinse brigade - but I wasn't able to, so then I decided that I rather liked the idea of being a librarian all prim and proper on the outside and raging lunatic on the inside - but I wasn't allowed to do that either (long story!).

Then I decided I wanted to race cars, but I wasn't allowed to buy one - I sort of petered out of ideas then, apart from having grand notions of being a kept woman at one stage.....

The reality - (is that I get bored easily) ...

EDIT: Actually what I really really wanted to be was a go go dancer for Pete Sinclair
