Well, it's wonderful that you are still on track. All I wanted to be doesn't matter anymore, I just want to be outrageously rich coz I've come to discover that with money you can be anything. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo after being a president went back to school, Mark Zuckerberg last year went back to get his certificate, that all happened because they have money. No one will insult or look down on them because they have already achieved feats and are respected entities.
My dad said some years ago, if you acquire all the degrees and it doesn't translate to money, you won't feel achieved and satisfied.

That's my piece of cake!

Uncle, its well ooo, i wish you more money shaa...

Tanchu. I wish you good success in all you do.

When I was a kid, I have always wanted to become a doctor but that dream died when an uncle of mine told me that as an IT student in the university, in the lab, everyone would be given a dead body to operate on....What!!!!!? And am always scared whenever I heared that someone just gave up the ghost let alone to go close to a decease.😁

Thank you @thepassenger for this contest, my name is among the people that won last weeks question. May God cause more SBDs to be released in your wallet....Amen!😁

When i was a kid, I've always wanted to become an Economist cuz of my Uncle and role model who is one. But as i was growing up, my perspective towards life changed a bit because of my environment. Certain behaviors that people put up and you cant find a reason to it or cant just seem to understand their motive for doing what they've done which led me to later having passion for psychology which can give me insight into explaining people's behavior.

I love psychology.

😀...it makes one understand life better
And some people are just good in it naturally

Me I wanted to be a Doctor o😂😂

Lol...i guess most people are interested in that dream also...good luck if you're still chasing it😀

Cool man! There's a lot of psychology on the economy as well! :)

😀 nicely noted...thanks for the contest❤

When i was a kid, I wanted to be a computer hacker. I have some more interest in computer at that time. 😂😂

When i was a kid , i have always wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer but now am a certified educationists , God knows the best , man proposes God disposes .

Done!!!

Growing up, i had always wanted to be a soldier. I was taken by uniformity and charisma during their march, liked how disciplined a soldier is, a soldier doesn't talk much, he is a man of action. But THE CHILD THAT WAS ME!
Yesterdays tilt toward tomorrows;
Time has a way of becoming vague,
Years be a hedge between memories,
Yet in the eye's mirror there was a child,
Responding to the harmony of a song,
Rising into immeasurable blue,a child
That liked being alone,watching leaves,
Flowers and the changing colours of the season;
Its heart moving with soundless music.
A child whose hands put into writing it's emotions, whose ears hear only melodies from the cry and wails of others, a musician
That child was wearing my name and my face

nice reply!! :D

Thank you sir@thepassenger

That's cool.

I used to be a careless fellow when I was a kid but there was only one thing I gave total attention to- nature. Nature has always been my source of inspiration and it's indifferent. I love art, and I did my best practicing it. No doubt about being a fine artist I thought when I was a kid. Families and friends appreciated my work and the rest is history. Today I didn't see myself as I have always wanted to be. However, i ended up being a pharmacist.

Well a pharmacist is related to nature...in a chemical way! :D

When I was five years old I wanted to be a vet. I would pick up any stray puppy I could get my hands on and bring it home (I thought of my mum as my assistant nurse whose job entailed cleaning the puppy, feeding them and get them ready for my cuddles). Although I continued helping all the pups in my neighbourhood the thought of blood and all the gory stuff deterred me from pursuing this noble (and profitable) path!

When I was about eight or nine (that's a while back in history) I think I wanted to be an astronaut too. I used to watch a show about the cosmos on TV and I was obsessed with the thought of being in outer space (with hindsight it was a bit of a stretch seeing I don't get the maths at all).

When I was about sixteen I wanted to be a lawyer like Ally McBeal. Yes, it is embarrassing but I thought it is good to be honest here among friends.

Now I am xx years old and as it turned out, I am a lawyer (nothing like Ally McBeal but happy soul nonetheless) I wish I stuck to the age five option ;)

xx Lucy
PS - To all those who said they wanted to be a Lawyer and didn't take that path (trust me, you didn't miss much) ;)

haha well, you can help on animal rights, which is a lot for them!!

Now that's what I call "connecting the dots" ;)

When i was a kid, i wanted to be an aeronautical engineer something that wasn't even studied extensively in my country.
Thanks for this contest

This contest reminds me once again of my childhood dreams which I am still trying very much to fulfill. I have always wanted to be a business man who the world would reckon with. I asked myself what can I do to make the kind of wealth that I desire and then it also went in line with my love for business.

That's great purpose! Thanks for joining :)

I also loved and wanted to be a footballer when I was a kid, I also had the dream of playing for Manchester United someday. My favorite player then and now still remains CR7. Sometimes during school hours you find me playing football even when it's raining. My passion for the game of football was so amazing.

When i was a kid i wanted to build a house, i thought that time that it was easy to construct a house that can fit a small family. But reality hurts when i grew up and started to knew more about things and it was not easy at all. It will took many days, or weeks to create one. It consists of people and their brainstorming to build fine and incredible one.

I wanted to be a teacher, a teacher that guides and shows students the way of life. Not just a teacher that teaches the what, but I wanted a teacher that showed me the "why" and "how". I work as a volunteer teacher/coach and I am proud to say I am still guiding the "how's" and "why's" of life, empowering every life that they deserve.

When I was a kid,I had wanted to be a singer in the house of God,which I thank God am now in the choir ministry praising Him with my talent. I sing alot when I was a kid and now my dream of becoming one is just an opportunity for me today.

This is great :) I'm glad you made your dreams true!

Thanks

As a Kid i always wanted to be a Cricketer now you must be thinking what is that its a sport very well known and watched around the world it England's national sport also very popular in Southeast Asia, Australia, Newzeland and Pakistan. very similar to baseball BTW baseball is been made out of Cricket .cricket-gen_1205getty_875-201802220750.jpg

Wow, thanks for this contest you actually took me back to time.
Growing up as a kid, i wanted to be a Nurse.
I love their smart look and how they make people well again.
So got into secondary school, i joined the science class, along the line the passion of being a Nurse difted away.
I hate the smell of drugs, dont like the hospital and a lot of things.

So i had this like for geography and space travel, i love to read about earth and other planet.
And at times i dream of travelling outside earth. Lolss
So now, am an undergraduate in her fourth year, studying 'Geophysics'. And am doing really fine. Thanks to God.
Thanks once again @thepassenger😘

Wow Geophysics is an amazing course @rebeccafl.
Been a Nurse as well rocks I tell you but all the same your out for what you love doing.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher and also a lawyer.

When I was a kid I want to become an accountant, knowing that I do counting only a lot of money like what I've watch at the tv lol. I can't pursue my dreams, but at least I can count a lot of coins now .😅

First I wanted to be a pilot, the idea of flying around the world seemed intriguing to me. Then I wanted to become a fashion designer. I saw names like Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace and thought ny own name Giovani Zanolino would fit right in. Then I wanted to go into advertising, cause I thought it was a creative way to reach many people with with wit and beauty, but ultimately I picked fine-arts (or fine-arts picked me) I have currently been a full time artist for 12 years!

A marine biologist/oceanographer. I couldn't make it through chemistry :(


Your contest was added to Steemit Contest Compilation for current week (26.03-01.04)

Thanks!!

When i was a kid, i always wanted to be a Minister of the Gospel, when i watch Pastors like Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa, Apostle Babalola, i watched them prayed for dead persons that came back to life, i watched them prayed for sick people and they recovered, cripple, blind, deaf and dumb. I always long to be a carrier of God's power like them to give hope to the hopeless. By the Grace of God, i am living my childhood dreams.....

I wanted to be a Drift Driver. It was what I wanted.I'm not a professional. But that's enough for me. I will specialize.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a scientist so I can have a significant contribution to the world.

When I was a kid, I want to be cashier because when we bought things in the grocery I always saw the cashier holding a lot of money 😂

hahaha that's beacuse on banks they don't show it as much as in cashiers lol

Nice thing you've got going here! Thanks for answering to my post and good luck!

You're welcome! :D happy to see you around, feel free to join whenever you catch a question!

When I was a child, I wanted to be Miss Universe. I used to see shows on television like Miss Venezuela that are very popular in my country and I remember that imitated all the contestants and even taking my mother's heels, fixing my hair, acting like them and doing the catwalk. You know... living my moment haha. It is very fun to see this picture now
Look at my make up and earrings hahaha everything made for me 😁😁😁

haha you were looking great then and now! :)

hahaha thank you!! :)

The most common thing I wanted to be as a kid was a storm chaser/meteorologist. My fascination with weather (especially tornadoes) started at a very young age. I had these VHS tapes of tornado footage I would watch over-and-over and I would just marvel at them. Anytime we had a severe weather event locally I would be glued to my television. I even had a scanner I would listen to local weather spotters communicate with the national weather service with. I watched The Weather Channel more than I watched cartoons. It was a bit of an obsession!

I also loved it! I wanted to when I was around 15, but i was not so good at physics so i gave up to be just an amateur one :)

I wanted to be a fireman. I became a graphic designer and hedonist instead.

lol, we all need to stop a fire sometimes at work haha

When I was young I want to become an Engineer, Soldier, and Pastor haha.
Engineer because my father is Engineer, Soldier because it looks cool for me to become a soldier for our country, Pastor because my mother is a pastor :)

When i was a kid, I've always wanted to become a doctor., but later on i found my self change my perspective in life. That my real passion is on hardware and software manipulating..

When I was a kid, I really love 🎈balloons, so everytime we go to the church, I saw colourful and attractive balloons so as a kid I wish and dream to be a balloon maker :)) how kids really like balloons 😍

I wanted to be a minister of Jesus ever since i was a kid because the best thing in the world is serving Jesus Christ and being born again.

When I was a kid, I've want to be singer, teacher, doctor or economist but when I grew up, too many things make me thinking and forget my purpose in childhood day by day.
Anyway, you made me remember the time when I was kid, the most beautyful time in life. Thank you so much!

I'm glad you remind those old days, that was the idea behind the question :) and keep on working hard on your dreams!

When I was a kid I wanted to be an archeologist like Indiana Jones! :D

Me too. I even enrolled to the archeology faculty at university, but it was actually so boring I quit after the first year.
Now I regret

I studied some archeology on my own in the end :)

Ok, let's go for an expedition. We just need to summon a translator and a few funny animals, that's it.
Atlantis will be ours!

When I was a kid, I always hear my friends and classmates that they want to be a doctor, teacher, police, and a fireman to help the "people", so from that, I want to become the "people" that they are saying, so that I can receive all the help that they will give hahahaha.

haha well you achieved that for sure as all policeman and teachers will be there to help you ;)

Oh wow! This got me laughing! As kids, we have dreams and aspirations and most of these dreams are just fantasies. We think we should be this or that because they (our parents) told us Bankers, Lawyers and Doctors are the real deal!

For me, i wanted to be a Lawyer but i am now a philosopher. Like the saying, man proposes but God disposes!

wow a philosopher, that's really interesting too! I don't think any kid wants to be a philosopher althought all of them are one and they don't know hehe

lols! You are right!

When I was a kid, I used to aim to be an OB Gyne. Yes, an Obstetrician. Because I really want to see pussies. I'm a horny kid that time. But then I discovered I'm squeamish(easily disgusted by the sight of blood). So I picked another field. Now I graduated as an IT. Because I dont want to take any board exams... :D

When I was a little girl I just wanted to build a robot, not to be an engineer, not to dedicate myself to mechanics, no, I just wanted to create a robot and I did it, destroy the machine to inflate the wheels of the bike and win a big scolding. After fulfilling my dream precariously, I decided to become a doctor, my God! I would save lives, my mother said that if I wanted to be a doctor I had to study anatomy from that moment and that's what I did, only that the bones and their names were very complex so I forgot to be a doctor. After 10 years I decided to become a physiotherapist, until high school I thought it would be my profession. I am currently a law student ... ironies of life.

Growing up, my dream has always been to be in the armed forces, the air force precisely!
But as days turned to years and time elapsed, my passion for helping others with what I love to do surpassed my dreams of being an air force officer. I chose to chase Pharmacy.

It's going pretty well thus far as I am currently in training.
Thank you @thepassenger for an opportunity to express my passion in words. Its a beautiful thing you've got going here.

As a kid, i have always dreamt of becoming a surgeon that i practically catch lizards them and burying them in the ground to come back months later to count their bones and relating to that of humans.

I have also conducted operations on lizards too and checking whats in their belly and then sewing it back and expecting it to live and run but unfortunately i kept wondering why they die. Lolz..

..becoming a surgeon was my childhood dream.

As a kid,I grew up seeing the psychiatric illnesses that were a kinda hereditary for my family.I saw my father,sister and uncles suffer from different kinds of problems from depression to schizophrenia.I even lost my father as a consequence of same.To be true,I ,myself ,was also very afraid that I might get one too as you can't control the genetics.
So without telling anyone,I started dreaming of becoming a psychiatrist...a good one.. and I worked a lot for it.My financial status would not allow me to invest so much money for medical education but I am very thankful to god that I got a scholarship for pursuing my dream and I am a third year MBBS student now and will be hopefully completing my degree very soon.

When i was a kid i always wantef to be a pilot. The decision was however influenced by the fact that my father flew planes during the Nigerian civil war... and this always intrigued me. However, nw am a certified Economist and dont really hv any regrets!
P.s: The replies so far has been hilarious @thepassenger ... couldn't stop laughing long enough to type dis... i managed though!
