When I Grow Up

[janebse]

But the truth is you never grow up. No matter how old you are and what you are doing, there is something within that still keeps saying..."When I grow up I want to be..."

There's a SciFI short story that takes notice of that fact and lets people live thousands of years with the provision that every hundred years they can change their occupations.

I wanted to be a dancer

I studied dance all thru school and college...BUT .... I was "advised" to major in something that I could fall back on.... ;D

Soooooo ... I majored in Communications and History and I now work in the Broadcasting industry - but I can still dance my a** off !

I am getting my property and casualty license now. :sleepy: After that, Life , Healthcare, and Annuity :sleepy: After that ..good ole notary
Far cry from that singing that I wanted to do.

The sensible side of me wanted to be an attorney. :laughing That's what my dad wanted me to be, too.... I was the one who was supposed to BE something in the corporate world. :laughing But my dream was to be a singer...or to be on Broadway... or both. I sang up a storm in high school, but my parents said it wasn't practical. So I went to college and studied Communications.....I was working in radio at the time. Then I realized that would be too stressful. ;D So a professor told me I was a great writer, and I switched to an English major with Creative Writing emphasis. My dad hit the roof. An English major??! Art History minor?!

In a sense, he had a good point.... too bad he isn't alive to see me now because he'd be proud. ;D It took almost 7 years after college to finally have a career that's *real.* Although it sucks getting old and actually having a job with a TITLE and some numbers after that title because that means.....GASP.....responsibilities. And stress. And deadlines. I miss being a little ol' peon. Those good ol' days after college making minimum wage as a proofreader at a newspaper. Eating Ramen noodles! ;D ;D

I wanted to be either a doctor or a grocery sacker... yeah, I was a weird little kid.

Wait, WAS a weird kid?

And, to whoever asked, that guy in the picture that Ivory posted was Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I LOVED that show! It's the best ever!

[curet30]

I wanted to play second base for the New York Yankees like my hero WILLIE RANDOLPH. As a child my Halloween costume was my Little League baseball uniform with a NY Yankee cap.

I had the skills back then.... I could've been a contender ;D
