S/O What did you want to be when you were 11?

[hisno1girl]

I wanted to be a mommy with 8 kids. Four boys and four girls, and I would dress them up in matching clothes all the time.

So basically, Carol Brady with an extra pair.

[cereal K]

Pretty sure at that point, I wanted to be a lawyer. For years before that, I had wanted to be an artist, and moved on to doctor in high school.

I guess I got kind of close to artist? haha. Not really, though.

[greenlight]

I wanted to be a famous singer, even though I can't sing at all. :/

I blame The Little Mermaid.

[wambam]

A choreographer

LOL. I had never even taken dance classes. I just made up dances to *NSYNC songs in my basement.

[nextbigthing]

An orthopedic surgeon. Then I realized I was grossed out by blood and guts so not so much. I just wanted to make lots of money (still do want that)

[Linie]

By 11, I was sure I wanted to study law, but not necessarily become a lawyer, maybe in-house?

When my mum died when I was 14, I wanted to be a doctor for a year or so, but I returned to law after that.

I still think that being a doctor is awesome, but I have never regretted my choice.

[yourmother]

I wanted to be an opera singer or a podiatrist. I am currently neither. Lol!

[YahYahs]

I think a lawyer and/or a veterinarian. I didn't pursue either of those dreams.

[kitkat1502]

A nurse.

[AutumnRose25]

A Vet.

Signed,
a Grant writer lol

[birdistheword]

A veterinarian or a pediatrician. Not even a little close. Lol.

[pooh8402]

Pediatrician

I'm an L&D nurse, and in school to be a family nurse practitioner.

[rupertpenny]

I think a medical examiner. I got really into Patricia Cornwell books for a while. Very age appropriate, haha.

[SpartanGirl]

A marine biologist. I remember having no idea what I wanted to do, but at school we had to watch these career videos for a unit we were studying. Marine biologist was one of the video choices so I ran with it.

I'm now a SAHM with a degree in Supply Chain working a part time job doing accounting. Pretty sure they didn't have a career day video for that.

[Violet]

A lawyer. I wanted to be exactly like Elle (in Legally Blonde). I actually kept that dream until my sister became a lawyer when I was in the college. Thank you sister for steering me a different direction.

Archeologist.

I liked dead people most.

One of my degrees is in Anthropology, figured they are already dead so I can't screw up anything big right?! Haha

[melmel48]

A vet or preschool teacher. I actually did the preschool teaching thing.... but that is not my career any longer. I now work 1:1 with preschoolers with Autism, however I am an ABA therapist, not a teacher.

[snowflurry]

A lawyer and senator

[goillini823]

A PE teacher. I ended up doing social work. I worked as a foster care caseworker for while. I than was SAHM 8 years. I recently went back to work as tutor at an alternative HS. I really like the school and the kids.

[FastHands]

I think I wanted to write novels still at that point, but it was close to that point when I caught the science bug. First it was forensic anthropology because I was obsessed with bones/skeletons.

[mcsangel2]

I wanted to be an actress. By the time I was a senior in high school, though, I realized exactly how hard you had to work to have steady work, plus by then the idea of being famous and recognized everywhere seemed like a bad idea.

Now I want to be a writer! Still famous, but the kind that doesn't get you recognized.

[ssmjlm]

A lawyer.

I'm not a lawyer, but some days I feel like one with my line of work.

[cajunmom]

A veterinarian or marine biologist. I am neither.

[newnamesameperson]

Always the same, a doctor.

[Kristinmo]

A pediatrician.

I'm a CPA.

[Deleted]

At that age I always played secretary. I loved all the cool office supplies. I'm a Paralegal so I didn't stray too far!

[kicks]

I have no idea, don't remember.

Whenever these polls come up about high school or younger I remember how poor my memory is, ha.

[killercupcake]

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. Lol

[Mrs. ChanandlerBong]

I wanted to be a veterinarian.

I'm not sure when I let go of that. I ended up majoring in biology, worked in a few different medical labs before being a sahm. I am going to be starting back in the lab next week (and am totally nervous and excited about it).

[BaliHai]

A Broadway star.

It took me embarrassingly many more years to realize I am not a good enough singer. lol.
