I've always wanted to be a professional actor, but I never really fought for my dream, and, except for a few school plays (and one in kindergarten), I haven't done much acting. Now I just hope, not even dream, to make the best I can out of what I have left.

I always wanted to be a writer.  Since I was little I loved to read.  I'm still writing, but now it's more for the pleasure than the idea of making a living out if it.  My goal now is opening a small bookstore/café. In a couple of years I hope to reach that goal, but I am realistic. Anything can happen. :)

I always wanted to be a cosmologist (I learned, upon seeing my high school records, that I wanted to be a cosmetologist) but unfortunately my dyslexia especially in mathematics, doomed this desire.  I still follow science, especially physics, but I ended up being a "shrinker of heads", I wish I had pursued some hard science rather than the religion of psychology.

When I was young, I really enjoyed astronomy as well as other sciences. Right now I'm a physics major in college. I wouldn't say that my goals have been achieved, but that's only because I still have a long road ahead of me.

I was never quite sure what I wanted to become. In different stages in my life, I wanted to become an architect, football (soccer for Americans) player, lawyer, doctor, actor and even an inventor. I guess I wanted to be everything, but I only have one life, right? But then I discovered science and computers and I thought that I had to work in one of these domains, so now I am studying computer science. I could have chosen to go for physics instead, but I feel computer science is more creative and with more potential of development, especially from a guy like me, who doesn't have an IQ that off the chart.

 

Anyway, my feeling now is that all I want to be in this life is happy and fulfilled. Maybe a loving family would do that for me better than any career would, although I do retain my ambitions of becoming someone important in my field of work.

I wanted to be a radiologist or a teacher the entire time I was growing up.  It wasn't until I found out how long you have to go to school for radiology that I gave that up.  Then I had kids and realized I don't want to be surrounded by them 24/7.  Now I am going to school for speech therapy... so I can help little kids... and be surrounded by them 24/7 lol.

I don't know if you realize but you can do a two yr course in radiology. I live in Louisiana and there is a school called Career Technical College. I'm sure there are others and the pay is the same for a two or four yr degree. After my two yr degree I plan of going back for two more in the nuclear med. field. Hope this helps.

I think she is refering to a Radiolgist not a Radiology Tech. Big difference. Radiologists are MD's.

Without reason, I like to make films. I dont see this as a reliable career though and dont wish to be stuck in that field. What are the chances im going to be a steven spielburg? I tried taking an AP biology class but i dropped out within the first 2 weeks because i couldnt handle the work. I want to try it again for the learning experience but I don't want to go to college and fail my college science classes.

 

Im waiting to take Anatomy and sports med. my senior year to see if i would be right for a career in the medical field

 

All my fears are that i wont be good enough. Scapegoat i would just join the army.
