Hi there. Did you ever thought you were going to work in what you work nowadays when you're a kid? I ask this because I'm sure there's lot of people around here that said they were going to have some kind of job that they don't really have now. When I was a kid I used to say I would become a doctor but then I started growing up and realized that it wasn't that easy to became a doctor and started getting interested with computers and stuff and now I'm taking a course of it. What about you? Is your job now what you wanted it to be when you were a kid?

I've always wanted to become a teacher since I was a kid, and yeah I made it to be a licensed elementary school teacher. I got my license last 2005. I do love teaching but after I had a stressful teaching experience when I first taught in a Montessori school I told myself am too young for this kind of work. So I quit and applied for another teaching position in a language school which I thought was less stressful since I will be teaching only english to our korean students..but the same thing happened... I only stayed there for around 11 months.. lol doesn't have much patience, i guess... lol and now, am currently employed in a call center company where I work graveyard,.... so far, am enjoying my job here..no more sleepless nights for the lesson plans, making of test questions, and computing of grades... lol but I still have plans of going to teaching though... in God's time... :)

Honestly, I'm doing exactly what I thought I'd be doing growing up. Being a cashier at a grocery store lol Hope I don't retire there.

I wanted to be a truck driver or a female wrestler when i was a kid. I ended working in a factory for half a century til I was shot in the leg and unable to work.
