    I wanted to be a comic book artist. My hands tremble and even though I do have the imagination and perspective for "catchy" images, I suck at drawing anything beyond basic.

    I then wanted to design video games. Actually followed computer studies in multimedia.

    I work as a barman\barista though, with little chance of actually getting into what I originally wanted.

    So yes, the 10 year old me wouldn't like what I do, but he sure would like the toys I have now :thumbs2:

    Well not exactly. I wanted to be an actor which I am but I never thought I would be doing it on stage. I always imagined I'd be living in L.A. doing T.V. adds and working my way up to actually being in movies. If I could do it all over again I would of started theater when I was 4 and saved money till I turned 18 so I could actually afford to move to L.A.

    I wanted to be a voice actor.

    I sometimes voice in stopmotion series so yay i guess.

    But seriously as a official career that will be plausible....I still don't know at 17 and i'm graduating.

    Only 14 right now but I wanted to work at Pixar when I was 3, be an actor for the majority of my life, be a director, then it was work at Channel Awesome, then be a comic book artist, now it's being a Voice actor. I'm bipolar in my career choices.

    Actually that's normal. Only weirdo's like me stick to the same career path for their entire lives. But you should have a back up plan. I didn't and now I'm kinda stuck without a job and I have no skills doing anything else.

    Never knew what I wanted to be when I was a kid...so I guess I'm exactly where I'd end up without having an actual direction to go in. That said, other then some small hiccups here and there, I can't really say my life isn't something a younger me wouldn't be happy with.

    That said, I always found this pic to be pretty apropos to the idea of asking what people want to be when they grow up.
