Well, my dad tells me when I was a nipper I told him "When I grow up I want to be a.......lion".....I was about 4 yrs old.

And my mother reminds me often that I said to her "When I grow up I want to be A Nothing like you"........not sure what that meant, perhaps cuz she didn't work outside of the home?!

But I do recall as a young teen (11/12 ish) wanting to be a poet.

None of the above happened.

I wanted to be an artist, teacher or almoner (bit like a social worker)......

in a way, my eventual career as an Art Therapist was related to all three of these but more appropriate. I used to teach Art in evening classes and do lectures in Uni s occasionally so was never far off course really.

I wanted to be a zoologist from the age of 4, made the mistake of experimenting with drugs as a teenager and now I check stock for an oil company Confused ....I wonder what percentage of people actually go on to do the career they dreamed about as a kid?
