When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

That's funny!

@Judy890 Thanks! Maybe when I retire from my current job, I'll go back to pursuing a second career as a statue!

@moffittjc Watch out for the pigeons.

as in writing novels?

@msiduri I see

@Judy890 Among other things. I studied journalism.

@akalinus Some teachers do an amazing job of telling children what they can never achieve! I used to write a lot, but never went to my teachers for approval. Personally, I don't like vetting others' creations too. The critic in me is very efficient, and that can cause negative reactions.

I do notice many women are vets. That's very disappointing that your school discouraged you from being a veterinarian. I think everyone should support and encourage everyone to do what they want. I was discouraged as well In high school when I told my teachers two students that I wanted to pursue a career in art and they told me there was no such thing. But years later I realized there's art al around us. In Clothing, games, magazines, posters, cups and everything you can think of. If there's no career then whose designing those cups or magazine, clothes or the games? Obviously an artist. I still draw from time to time but I felt like those two students are the main reasons I didn't go to college and get a degree in art graphic designing. I see many jobs that are looking for graphic designers and I regret not going to college.

@hora_fugit I am going to a writer's meeting tomorrow. Some people always read something for critique from the group. I hate pointing out things but that is what we are there for. I always say something good first and end up on a positive note. I still don't like it, though.

that would be cool if you ever do become an actress or a singer. I'll be telling everyone that you responded to my post on mylot

@Judy890 I do sing and act a bit but not for a living. Yet should be travelling next year to start gigs

A fashion designer is cool job. You get to design clothes the way you want them.

@Judy890 yes!! that's right!!

@bbai16kg thanks and okay!!

Flight attendant is a great job for those that aren't afraid of planes like myself. Lol

@Judy890 i love to travel...

@bbai16kg working in a bank can be a stressful job.

@Judy890 Once I was introduced to programming, I started dreaming of game development. My job doesn't help there!

As long as your happy with your current job. Computer programming sounds awesome.

Yes actually I do entertain the kids at the day care

Did you accomplish being a writer or are you still working on it?

@prabir123 Thanks. Yeah, I enjoy my current profession.

Actually I'm not. I gave up on my real dream job years ago because I was told by a few people that there wasn't a career in the art field and these people made me believed that. Years later when I became an adult I realize it was false. I mean I'm ok with what I am doing now but I its a bit too late now to work on my dream job.

@Judy890 that`s terrible for adults to not support your dream and make you give up.Hope you are happy as a person

Beautician is a great Job ugh just looking at the word teacher gives me a headache, scratch that a migraine. Lol Well just be glad you're not a teacher. Trust me you wouldn't want to deal with the kids.

Yeah...i have come to realize i'm not the best person to be able to deal with kids. I get irritated very fast.

Lol the kids would drive you crazy. My kids at the day care are wild. I always come home with a headache.

@Judy890 yes I am afraid they would. Lol

I wasn't any good in art either until I kept practicing all the time. I eventually got better and you can actually see big differences in my drawings if you did a comparison from two different years.

Well The problem is I can't sing lol I think you have great jobs
