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....

Hahahaha - that is so funny - when I was about 14 my mother got my much older brother to take me out for a drive and discuss my ambitions for my future. He said - You need to decide what you want to do when your older... I replied that I wasnt sure. After a while he got pissed with me and said that I needed to give my mum some idea of what I wanted to do for a career and I told him I would like to do something that involved flashing lights and sirens.
He got real pissy then and told me not to be so bloody immature and how I needed to get my head out of the clouds.

Now... Im a Paramedic

I'm not sure, I think I had a vague idea of being an aeronautical engineer, designing airplanes.

Now I'm a motorcyclist (goes with out saying now. But when I was a kid I never really thought about motorbikes), currently working as a turret punch operator.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up ...............!!

[Max Preload]

When I was a kid I wanted to be a mechanic. When I left school I became a mechanic. I soon realised it wasn't what it was cracked up to be, so I went back to tech and did my NZCE (Mech of course lol) and even did Maths4 thinking I'd one day go straight into the 2nd Pro year of a degree, but after working with degree engineers I quickly decided against that - they're glorified ordering clerks for the most part. So now I'm a contract mechanical draughtsman mainly in the dairy and other food industries doing interesting stuff with machines and processes. It's like being a mechanic but with no dirty fingernails.

I grew up around trucks,and always wanted to be a truck driver.I still do - but I know it would be a boring as shit job.But the reason I grew up around trucks was because my father was a truck mechanic....and being a mechanic is all I've ever wanted to be,so much still to learn and do in my life time job I've never done anything else.Plus I get to drive all the cars,trucks,bikes,tractors,and operate all the equipment I have worked on....so no need to do the boring part of being a paid operator of said stuff.

[Reckless]

I always wanted to be a Fitting room attendant in a lingerie shop! Be a good job that!!

But left school early worked in the building industry for a few years. Then qualified Panelbeater for 15 or so years. Then sick of the bog dust and welding splatter after five years leading hand on the chassis machine went back and started my own building company.
Now I'm an architectural draughtsman, working for myself, predominantly designing second story transformations in 3d through to building consent!

Anyone want any alterations done???

LOL!!! good thread!

[justsomeguy]

Then - Michael Knight - You know the guy from Knight Rider who goes around in his nice car kissing pretty girls. Or a race car driver.

Now - Corporate IT Recruitment, too many hours, too little money and the amount of politics and bollocks needs to be seen to be believed...

Future - Corporate Account Management or Channel Management - My 6 month goal. Anyone in that area here?
