I saw myself working in an office. Thank goodness real estate agents don't have to pass a typing test, because I reek at it.
Something I never thought I'd do is travel to Alaska and do commercial fishing. My brand new hubby dragged me kicking and screaming from farm country. The outcome:
I adored it.

this thread reminds me of a scene in the movie called mr. deeds,,,,towards the end of the movie,,deeds(adam sandler) gets up in front of the stockholders,,and asks "what did you want to be when you grew up"?? a big southern guy,,got up,,said he wanted to be a veterinarian,,,,for the love and care of animals....then said,,,i came close,,i own 6 slaughterhouses"...for some reason i got quite a chuckle out of that

In that case, I would have to leave all the typos in place!
too funny Pirate Girl, growing up, I had a huge crush on Shaun Cassidy, but as you can see, I didn't marry him either. Oh well.
I still think about being an English teacher. My only problem is I want to teach elementary aged kids, but I love to teach Shakespeare. Can't exactly teach Hamlet to 3rd graders, lol.
Seahawksweetie, how come nobody ever gets my "pallets towards none" jokes on the loading dock???
Before I went to th' Truck Drivin' Academy, I couldn't even SPELL "truck Driver" And now I are one! Seriously, I went into the USAF with NO idea what I wanted to do (other than get away from home) They needed warm bodies in aircraft maintenance back then. I wouldn't have EVER imagined myself as a mechanic (my wife laughs at that concept to this very day) but I enjoyed it and learned things I would've never imagined. I'd always thought about driving a truck (I'm definitely not the office type) and first thought I'd just see what it was like. Ten years and no accidents later, I'm truly addicted!
Did you grow up to be what you "wanted to be" when you were young? Well I was hoping for at least 6'2" but came up way short at only 5'8"....dang
