I wanted to be an engineer in the Navy. Did one year of MechEng at uni but didn't like it. Oh and the fact that i had Asthma kind of let me down too. :roll:
Now i'm head of ladies tailoring at Ede and Ravenscroft in the city and loving it. Get free made to measure suits every 6 months too. :D
Wanted to be a Harrier pilot....
ended up...working ON planes for 12yrs..!
Now...running around the countryside after dogs..oh and artist...
don't really know what went wrong....

I grew up in the sixties in a village, but whenever I got taken to a town it seemed they were knocking buildings down using a crane swinging a big ball - and that's what I dreamed of doing when I grew up.
yep, working in an office for a firm that sells packaging was always a dream of mine. what schoolboy hasn't dreamt of such a career?

my brother's mate wanted to drive a digger, Fred Flintstone-style, when he grew up. that's what he does now (with a modern machine rather than a reluctant dinosaur :lol: )
Isaac changes his mind from minute to minute.
Retained Firefighter.......... Looking to go full time.I did retained for 7 years...tried to go full time but being retained held me back..imho.
Wiltshire fire brigade would get 200 people applying for 1 vacancy yet they couldnt fill all retained posts...so it was a case of being stuck between the proverbial rock and hard face.
Good luck in your quest though, its a great job if you can get in :D
As for my chosen profession...always wanted to be a mountaineer after climbing up quarry's in my youth... :shock:
Now a Prototype/Validation Manager for Avon Automotive...not quite Chris Bonnington :D
I wanted to be a serial criminal. I was well on my way to my chosen path of career when the Judge made me join the Army.
I think, looking back, the Judge had a better idea than the one that I had chosen.
A small true fact in the life of BigApe. :lol:

Wanted to work outside, sort of countryside ranger type job. So I got my degree in Conservation and my chainsaw licence, telehandler licence, and pesticide licence....
... Ended up managing a £13m 22acre high quality park in London with an annual budget of £500 -£700k per annum
I do miss climbing tree though :oops: It is the best thing in the world to be hanging 100ft off the ground from rope and harness and watching the woodland life go by in the tree tops
No! I don't smoke weed!!
Right one of many I was looking at and they where...
Plumber... Electrician... Computer Nerd/Game designer... Pub landlord... Retail manager... Scientist... Artist... Architect... Graphic designer...
Of which I became a Computer Nerd... But I recon with a few weeks refresher I could easily get on with this any of these jobs again. 'Graphic and Artist skills' run in the family...
No, I'm not spider-man. Although, thinking of my figure and how it'd look in skintight spandex, that's probably no bad thing...
Dunno how many walls would support my weight either...
Currently in the running for my second choice: cameraman, so that's ok. :D

I wanted to run away to sea,and that's exactly what I did for a few years.Great times,great life,but got it out of my system and tried to settle down ashore.Took a while. :lol:
We always used to go to the Royal Tournament as kids for a family trip - never knew why as there is absolutely no military history with either side of my family...
... anyhoo - ended up with me wanting to join the army from the age of about 8. I really, REALLY wanted to be a Para. :oops:
Went through school doing the barest minimum to get the qualifications I needed, stonewalled all attempts to get me to rethink or consider back-up planns or alternative by the careers advisers.
Held off from being pigeon-holed as a driver (one of the very few 'hands on' careers in the WRAC) and waited until they'd opened up other branches. Applied for Mechanical Engineer with the REME (cos I could possibly, maybe, get attached or work with the Paras - I never gave up on that), made it in - best day of my life.
And to be honest, the one day I think my parents were truely and understandingly proud of what I had achieved. :oops:
Then part way into my specialists training I bust up my knee, ligaments shot to ****e, and was medically discharged out as it was cheaper than having someone untrainined sitting on their **** with crutches for the following 8 months. :(
So I went back to college and became a graphic designer. :? Artistic talent has always been my easy and untrained fallback position.
Strangely though I wasn't too upset about this sudden shattering of a childhood dream. I'd got in, I'd kinda done it - and I know that if things had been different I would have made a damn fine career out of it - so I figure I kinda got a second chance to live life again, which probably explains my outlook on much that life has chucked at me since. :oops:

I wanted to be a submariner in the navy, then i wanted to be a volcanologist (volcano doctor not a trekie who likes vulcans :P ) so went to uni to study geology. Decided it was a career i didn't really want to do and was more an interest than anything else. Now i don't know what i want to do. :?

From about 6yrs old all I wanted to do was join the Royal Navy - modified over the next few years to Fleet Air Arm (Helicopter Pilot) via the Royal Marines, then . . .
. . . aged 13 put my first band together 8) & that was it, I was gonna be a rock star, until . . .
. . . aged 17 I discovered the wonderful world of Musical Theatre :D - I was fortunate enough to earn a living combining my love of singing with my lesser talent of acting !! 8)
Finished up working as a singer on Cruise Ships until the end of 1999.
Now working within an office environment making lousy money, but I am home every day & don't work evenings or weekends :D

I have been a Technical Manager and a Development Manger in print at various times so I suppose i sort of made it to the bottom rung of the ladder I wanted to be on.
I cant moan too much about where I am on the ladder I actually ended trying to climb.
I can bitch about the redundencies that have seen me have to change ladders 3 times though!

Wanted to be a fighter pilot!...
Studied to be a graphic designer...
Now work as a visual effects artist in movies
When I was about 11 or so I got a game called 'Their Finest Hour: Battle of Britain' on my Amiga. It came with an instruction manual also containing a book giving the potted history of, surprise, surprise, the Battle of Britain.
I was hooked. All I ever wanted to do after that was become a fighter pilot in the RAF. I studied hard to make sure I would achieve my goal.
Then I hit 13 or so and my eyesight went to pot. Glasses followed and I realised I would never fly fast-jets. Then I gave up trying at school and made a complete balls of the whole thing.
Now I'm IT and Telecomms manager for an NHS healthcare provider. It's OK, but I still wish I'd kept trying and followed my second love - law.

:thumbsup: Exactly the same here. Went to school, what do you want to do next? Don't know. I'll go to uni for 4 years. Great, graduated with a potentially useful degree. What to do now? Don't know. I've run out of money, I'll take the first job that comes along. I was still doing it 5 years later :roll: I quite like my job now, but no 5 year old ever said "I want to run a BACS helpdesk".
Wanted to get into computing and photography as a kid, knew nothing about them when I left school. Along the way retrained and studied for a masters degree in SW engineering. Got the job in SW, got bored of it and moved on to systems engineering then on to project management. Studied a couple of years part time photography and am now semi pro in spare time, oddly not that bothered about becomming a full time pro photog now although not too sure why. :?

I wanted to go and do that too. I had my eyes set on being a Aircraft handler, but aparently i was a little short, then i looked at SM stuff. My two choices were OM(WSM) & OM(TSM). I did all the pre tests etc and got my train tickets to go, but because of various things happening i was unable to go and postponed it for a later date, that was 5 years ago and i have not pursued it since.

Currently there's a five grand golden handshake payable upon successful completion of all training - subject to tax of course. When I qualified I got my own bed!! :shock: kids today etc etc :lol:
Rumour has it that the five grand may be increased next year :-k

They had that 5y back, not sure if it was the same ammount though. I dont think i will go any more as i got a serious injury to my back last year. Shame as i would not mind doing it, but in comparison i can earn more in my current job line.

BUT!!
Best thing ever..... I also got to be a Train Driver on a preserved steam railway :D :D
Started that 16 years ago as a loco' cleaner, then a fireman and thought that I had died and gone to heaven. Then I got to drive on the Middleton Railway in Leeds and I still work as a fireman on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
they don't pay me to do it.....in fact I would pay them if they asked
Well it just doesn't get any better!! :wink:

Wanted to be a mechanical engineer, brought up around engines in various states of repair/deconstruction, had planned to go via the Navy, but ended up going into the Army, I was REME attached to 7 RHA, which is the airborne mob, so got to do all the Para training and get my wings.
Left the Army without a real clue what was next, then found the Ambulance service for 12 years.
After helping out a friend I found I had a knack for sorting IT stuff, I didn't have the time or money to go back to school so three years part time studying around my ambulance shifts, and paying my own exams got me into Networking; which is where I am now.
Guess I've been lucky, always followed the dream and it's always worked, don't think I could do a job I didn't love or couldn't do well.
Cheers Mark.

Any astronaughts? Train drivers? Firemen etc etc
Come on and you ???????????????????????????????????????????????Na. I wanted to be many things. Nursery teacher, car mechanic, Cartogropher (Crap at art), Architect, Lanscape gardener...
Anyway left school, got a job as a trainee Sparks at a local company. Qualified as a sparks, then went into the companies print room. Big machines...cool. I have been in the industry since 1991. Im seriously bored of it. I would have still liked to be a cartogropher as i still love maps, but the art thing lets me down. Im too lazy to be a ladscape gardener nowadays.
I do think that not going to uni has stopped me, but i think that you should only go to uni if you know what you want to do in life, and not go..'just for the sake of it'
Could still be a car mechanic just need to do the qualification...however, i still think im better than some of the local spanner monkeys
No :(
In fact, i still don't know what i want, so living the usal "stuck in a rut" life, can't go and learn new things due to mortgage, can't go without earning money etc......
Sucks, and im 25 :( I can see me leading a boring career until im older, but hopefully that'll pay for a nice early retirement and some world travelling.
Didn't know what I wanted to be .... still don't! Have ideas, but they feel unrealistic now. As a child wasn't really encouraged to think I was going TO BE anything! have now got so I have so many responsibilities that to change anything to much seems impossible :cry: nice depressing thoughts !

no but its all changed in the last year,
i wanted to work in the construction industry and i do, but i want to move on just dont kno wwhen, its been good to me but i just aint happy,
what i want to do???
i actually want to become self sufficient, and have a small holding somewhere or a organic farm, in the mean time i might try the police, i would love to do either SOC, accident investigation Armed response or class one motorcyle..
but lets just wait and see
I had no idea what to do either so I ended up working for Barclays, at a branch near Viney - 475 Bromley Road, Downham. Hated it and left, did a law degree. Made a useful contact with somebody who worked in aerospace and I wanted to work for BAE selling aircraft rather than qualify as a lawyer but in the end I didn't get the job and so did this as a default option - that was 20 years ago....
Didn't know what I wanted to do when I was at school.
Got offered an apprenticeship as a mechanic at a Rolls Royce dealership when I was 16.
Hated every second of it (the guy I was apprentice too is one of the biggest ******s I've ever met).
Jacked that in after year and went to College/University with the view of getting a Commission in RAF.
Failed the medical for Aircrew (hayfever) and they weren't recruiting for the two other things I wanted to do (Engineer or fighter controller).
So I drifted into IT, and 15 years later I'm still here and still have no idea of what I want to do :roll:

I also wanted to be an air traffic controller. Dont know what stopped me doing that
Originally wanted to be a fighter pilot, but for no apparent reason, that changed to just "pilot."
Then I got into computers, and it changed to something generic using robotics, then specified down to AI programming.
So I studied Computing/Software Engineering & Psychology.
Now I work as a Java developer, having done AI programming in the past (but not much). Maybe one day return to the realm of making machines that can think, and then kill all human life, but not just yet :twisted:

I wanted to be a research engineer and develop engines and fun stuff. Family business was consulting automotive engineers so I had been brought up in an environment where this was considered a normal aspiration.
So at age 14 I was afterschool/holidays/weekend working on Formula Atlantic/5000 cars and developing knowledge. I was sponsored by Leyland Trucks to do my degree and ended up as an R&D engineer at their technical centre. How boring. Engineers in the UK are treated like sh1te and I realised I could earn far better cash in the IT game and got out.
So I started off as a real time programmer for a company making coin counting systems that went bust and 24 years ago I walked though the doors of my current employer relieved to have a job in the mass unemployment 80s. Started as a software developer, then networking specialist, system manager, IT manager, and then sod all that and effectively tart myself to whoever wants to use my knowledge/skills or simply needs a set of hands and money is no option.
So these days I am a solutions architect, project manager, it specialist, (All terms used by my director to describe me when ever he is trying to find a budget holder in need of my services)
But, what the heck. Ambitions evolve over time. I no longer have them for my self. I have hope and aspirations for my children and that is far more fun to watch them evolve
Best holiday job i ever had was making coffins..........honest! But it was a dead-end job.
Went to Uni to read Industrial Chemistry, stayed on for 3 years post-grad and then fell into my current line of work (air pollution) 16 years ago.
Wanted to be a motorcycle copper but parents were against it. Too late for me now, but I'd still like to do it.
Or be a Stormtrooper.

I wanted to fly from a very early age, and have done so for a living for the last eighteen years, I still smile every time I go to work. These days a large part of my job is training and testing new pilots, in simulators and aircraft, the look on a young man or womans face when they realise they are actually making 50000 kgs of aircraft do what they want is amazing.
I'm a very fortunate person to have got to to do the job I wanted and to be enjoying it.

Best holiday job i ever had was making coffins..........honest! But it was a dead-end job.
Maybe, but everybody was dying to get there, and it was a grave situation :roll:
I wanted to go in the RAF but due to continual pressure from my Dad to do so I didn't.... I got an apprenticeship as a mechanic with a local Hill/Simca (now Peugeot) dealer. After 3 years into a 4 year term the garage went belly up, I lost my job and I bumbed around for 9 months.
I had an interest in communications - I passed my Amateur Radio exam and was working part time in the TA. I then got a job working in a sales office for a company that made commercial antenna systems - you know, like the masts on the M1 at Rugby.
I had never considered sales before, but that was 25 years ago and I haven't looked back. 10 years ago I went to work for Easynet, selling Internet solutions, worked my way through management etc and next week I start as Managing Director for the UK division of a German Telecoms company.
Maybe not a childhood dream, but my brother has been a company Director for years and it was always a goal of mine to emulate him. So I'm looking forward to what 2007 is going to throw at me from an employment perspective.

Retained Firefighter.......... Looking to go full time.
Makes two of us.
Been doing it for 2 years in may.
Best job i have ever done.
I dreamed of loads of money to buys cars and bikes and just thought a career was an obstacle preventing playtime with cars and bikes!
Just didn't want to do anything connected with building (and still don't).
So, I'm in building and have been for umm, a lot of years, just about as high up the ladder as I can get, but still think building is boring but I'm absolutley crap at DIY, mechanics, gardening, computers, well most things really, so expect I'll still be doing this for some time to come!! :lol:
..... but I'm absolutley crap at DIY, mechanics, gardening, computers, well most things really, so expect I'll still be doing this for some time to come!! :lol:
