| Exactly how it is said. What did you want to be when you were younger? Did you achieve that dream? Was it easy to get? What stopped you or what is stopping you from achieving it? I fore one wanted to be an astronaut, but that was impossible because my parents told me the sky was the limit for me. o.0 all jokes aside, i wanted to be a comedian ;) and making people laugh. But i got stage fright lol game over from day one |

| I wanted to be a weatherman. I have no idea what I was thinking. I don't want to be on TV and having an audience of at least thousands dependant on me and ready to cut my throat if I screw up. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| When I was small I wanted to be an archaeologist, I used a lot of stuff about discovering old remains, artifacts and such back then on TV, I really don't remember the channel name anymore. I didn't even understand everything they used to talk about but thought it was cool. My parents, specially my father would keep on stressing on the advantages of becoming a doctor or my mother would tell me about engineering ever since I was really small. Later I wanted to become an animator and go to Japan. It was at that time when I had just finished with school about to start college, I talked about it to my parents but it was of no use. I'm kind of glad that they said no back then though, I'm sure I would have regretted it seeing the state of animation in my country as well as the state of animators in Japan. In the end I didn't become anything, just did a plain old BSc. degree in Comp Sci and currently doing my masters in the same. I regret not being able to do Engineering though |

I regret not being able to do Engineering though I felt like my otaku side drew out that whole scenario while readin it. XD Dreams are just dreams unless they have goals. But its the same cliche, cause its true. Parents only want whats best for their children and sometimes (even myself) gotta learn the hard way. Life is a mystery |

| Artist of some kind. I am currently going to school for illustration |
| I've always wanted to be a software engineer. But from 16 to 17 years old, I wanted to be an Illustrator. Interest fell like a meteor, and now I wanna be a software engineer, and this is the definitive decision. |
| Astronaut or comic artist. Never came close to achieving my dream as astronaut, lol, but I made lots of comics (but not earned any money on them). |
| I still am very young, and have only ever wanted to be one thing (still do). I want to be an investor. Whether it be the stock market, real-estate, or whatever. Quite frankly, it excites me when I see a good investment. |
| I wanted to be a bus driver. Seriously. Mum was like, "umm, you could aim a little higher than that, you know?" |
| Pretty sure I wanted to be a powerpuff girl at one point. |

| I wanted to be an author - I just always wanted to write about anything and everything - it didn't change much, only that I'd rather want to write stuff on my blog for a living than a novel ^^ |

| When I was 10 I wanted to be a pilot. I always loved planes and helicopters. But now it's really not my thing. In fact, I hate being in a plane. |

| when I was 6-7, I wanted to be a teacher. I no longer want to be a teacher because having to talk in front of the class is nerve wracking enough, nevermind having to deal with 30 other kids being disruptive. |

I will do my best!" and now, I'm on that phase, I'm pleasuring my Onii-chan everyday and helping him to relieve stress on the everyday basis! |
| paleontologist I used to be obsessed with dinosaurs, which is kinda how I fell out of it. Making my parents buy me so many dinosaur books that would be proven to outdated every few months really made it seem like waste of money |
 |
| I wanted to be a mad scientist and inventor. At 13 I briefly thought of being a pornographer but changed my mind realizing how it would actually not be so great. Pretty sure I thought of being an archaeologist at some point too. |

| I remember that in third or fourth grade I did an activity about what I wanted to do when I was older, and I clearly remember saying I wanted to be a marine biologist. looking back on that, Dimethylanime wtf were u thinking biology more like BYEology it was a cute dream, but my interests have changed a little since then haha |

| I deadass wanted to be a lawyer but now I'm an ankle breaker. |
| The goal of all ankles is disintegration. The ankles of god will be broken by the man who wields the power of a transcending, heaven piercing ankle breaker. If at some point in life, you made a mistake or keep failing over and over again, and you can't help but think it's useless and you're a good for nothing; Remember, that's only your ankles. I'm sure that further along your path will come a day where you think, "It was a good life experience". That's why it'll be fine. |
Detective + psychologist is basically criminal profiling aka offender profiling. If you have watched Criminal Minds, it's basically that. There also is forensic psychology but that's more of a courtroom and legal assistance thing. |

| I never really knew what I wanted to be. Happy, I guess. |
| I used to want to be a writer when I was younger Now I mean it would be cool, but I'm working toward being an artist~ |
| I wanted to be an engineer since childhood, so I plan my life perfectly untill when I was around 17.... Since high scool (and still now), I want to be a historian or an archaeologist. But my life plan can't be changed as suddenly as my 'passion'. So I ended up studying engineering and going to graduate next year. At least I achieved my childhood dream, is that counted as success? |

If you have to ask yourself then i think you know the answer already, but i'd just say if there arn't any regrets then yeah why not? |

| I wanted to build robots, probably cause of that crappy Cubix animated show I would watch a lot back then. |

| Politician i was thinking i can do good for my country lol hell no , now i hate politicians and politics. |
 |
| Well I was like 10 so please judge chronological order Dustman > Skater > Astronaut > Dustman > Animator (Dustman is legit and Im still thinking about it. Their wages aint that bad and you can have a dope ride on the back) |

  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Astronaut, wrestler, soldier, dictator, professional e-sports player - the usual stuff. Luckily I didn't "achieve" any of those dreams. |
| The first thing I wanted to be was an architect, and that was only because a teacher said I'd be good at it. Beyond a faint day-dream I never took it seriously. The things I strive and have strived for are things that negate other perceived obstacles to a happier or less unhappy life. My long-term ambitions are all just that. Perhaps if I found something to appreciate in-itself I would in earnest make it a goal. |

| Rock star. I was really serious about it, too ._. I used to sort of shut myself off in my room and play around with my dad's guitar, but I had no idea how to use it at first and I thought every note was played open, so I was confused when I couldn't make sounds, which, in my defense I was 11 and had very little experience with music outside of listening to it. Then when I turned about 13 I decided to try and get serious again, because it was gathering dust in the corner of my bedroom. So I started figuring out how to read tabs, starting just learning basic riffs to songs I liked, almost exclusively sticking to stuff that could be played entirely with basic power chords and was relatively simple. First song I learned to play was Brain Stew by Green Day and I was like, so fuckin' pleased with myself, even if it's such a simple song to the point of being trite. Then later after fucking around with exclusively power chords for a while, my grandma introduced me to a guy from her church who played guitar and he showed me some stuff that led to me sort of begin to hit a growth spurt like simple ways to figure out how to play a scale and a couple of different types of scales like the blues scale, which isn't especially different aside from a couple of notes. I remember when I stopped doing that and then decided to sort of come up with my own rhythm for it, which led to me doing this thing that was 7-9 on the low e, 7-9 on the a, 7-9 on the d, then 7 on the g with a high bend once I hit 9, and then I just fucked with that. Like, figuring that little bit out is sort of what caused me to really get into playing guitar and I began listening to more music and trying to learn more songs and shutting myself in my room longer and longer, figuring out things like the proper finger placements for octave chords as I went along and learning songs and trying to play them in full. Then I discovered Sublime's music and was just enamored with Brad Nowell's style of playing guitar that I just wanted to replicate that and I tried to take on this sort of weird reggae-punk vibe that I heard in his songs. Started trying to make my own music, wanted to be in a band someday, all of that. I used to just sit here at the computer and play around with it back when I started using the internet for socializing more circa 2013 and 2014, or I'd just sit in my living room with it and play around. It felt like there was a point when I was a teenager that whenever my hands were idle, then I'd just play it instead of keeping them that way. And I'd be lying if I said I still didn't daydream about starting a band and making it big sometimes, or relatively often even. Taking people I know and then they would also happen to know music and we'd play together. That'd be the dream. Then I sold my guitar a while after whenever I went out on my own because I really needed money, and haven't got it back ._. It used to be my dad's guitar before it became my own, too, and I feel really stupid for doing that. I'll probably never get that back and if I ever have the money to buy one, it'll have to be a now one instead of that derpy ass washburn lyon I used to have. Now I work in a funeral home and I got trained to be a funeral director and stuff and completed my apprenticeship and all, and I'd be fine with doing something that's already in my grasp and can provide a stable lifelong career for the rest of my life and I don't really entertain those thoughts seriously like I did throughout my teenage years. I'd still love to start a band and make music someday, though ._. kind of miss my guitar now honestly |

| I would have liked to be an author. But I started to get into drawing and that lead to animation so I'm learning how to animate now, but I'm too young to get a job so I'm not doing it professionally. ('-' ||l) |

| I honestly don't know, but it certainly wasn't the porn artist that I aspire to be these days. ...Anyone willing to lend me $350 for an Intuos Pro? |
 |
| Similar with above, I wanted to be illustrator or novelist too back when I was younger. Or scientist but idk with what subject. |
| Well, first off I wanted to be a veterinarian, then I wanted to be a biologist, then a pro-painter, and then a mangaka in Japan. All of them were very unsuccessful, but currently I do have a dream that will probably won't come true. When I was still in elementary school, I wanted to be a Broadway actress and perform on Broadway. I still have hope of the dream, but there's a chance of one in a million it will come true. |
| I wanted to be a scientist now I want to be a corpse. |
God. ..Maybe one day my dream will come true. |
