And what are you doing now?

I wanted to be a 12th grade English teacher like Mr. Turner from Boy Meets World.

Now I work at a hotel.

Professional golfer, golf course designer, or a music agent.

I'm a business analyst for a large healthcare company, working on my MBA at night.

ETA:

My life is so boring compared to what I wanted

wanted to be a garbage man because riding on the back of a garbage truck looks awesome.

good to know that if what I'm doing now doesn't work out, I can likely fall back on my dream job.

When I was much younger I wanted to be a teacher.



After hearing nursing stories from my grandmother....I changed that to a nurse when I was a teenager.



Now I'm a nurse. My grandmother was so excited that one of her grandkids followed in her footsteps.
