I always wanted to be a Nurse, have done since I was 10 then I had a Nursing job and it was a disaster. I was working with DD patients and was horrific and not what I signed up for. I left after a brief stint and shyed away from it forever after that. A shame really as I had a caring bedside manner.

Did you go straight from nursing school to working in a hospital?
I was working at a hospital but studying at college at the same time so didn't really finish the training.
Lawyer and im still hoping I'll get there 
I think I was like any other kid, didn't know and couldn't do basic science and math but I think purely because I wanted to protect dolphins I wanted to work with them lol. (Edit: Would that be something in Marine Bio?...)
But now, somehow with my interest in art, I'm on a current contract at a Museum till August, so I don't know how that happened lol 🤷♀️
I imagined I'd be an Evil Scientist
I've wanted to be a minorly successful musician/composer for about a decade. I never once thought that wouldn't be my job.
I'm way too young to have established a career. I'm still in first job territory but already I'm close to my goals.
Did you have big dreams when you were younger? Did your dreams come true?
Does that mean that you are on the way of living your dream? If I understand it correctly?
I had a silly dream of being a Formula 1 pilot because watching Formula 1 was my bonding time with my father. Up until my school years he worked all day long and went out of town for weekends so I guess I felt like this is my chance of having him more in my life. (He was not a bad father, we did secret handshakes before sleeping and sometimes he got me out of bed for one more cartoon just so we can spend quality time together, but he was away a lot.)
Fun fact that I thought that being a scholar, researcher, librarian, teacher or curator would be boring, but now I am doing all of these above with a crazy time table and these jobs have such a great benefit of being able to take your time at lunch, having coffe breaks, you can eat cookies and small meals while working and colleagues love to discourse all day long about so many kind of topics! I am satisfied with how my nonsense dream switched with this. I am really bad with stressful jobs so I avoided a bullet I guess.

I mean, it's such a cliché to say, but sometimes life makes a choice instead of us? For me the chances opening up for my qualities formed the path that I walk today and while I would not have chosen my recent career for myself, I still had to find it somewath fitting and even satisfying. I hope this will be true for you too.
Yup.
Yup.
That's great! Well done! 
I wanted
Engineer or physician
1. Zoo Keper, I wanted to take care of everything if I'm honest.
2. Music Composer until I realized through guitar lessons, piano lessons and even a recital(Is that how you spell that?...) when I was younger, that it really wasn't for me and I had absolutely 0 rhythm. I still have logic pro on my computer and videos saved on YT but never get around to it. 😅
3. I also wanted to do something with boats for the longest time because I thought lake life would be so releaxing but its been a struggle fighting my fear of water and past traumas, but I think I could slowly get there!
Otherwise, I'm not sure, working a part time job rn, and I'm okay with that 🤷♀️ 😊
I wanted to go to the army. Bros had such a hold on me when I was younger. My mom was even getting emotionally ready for me to enlist as soon as I hit 18 
I actually did have something completely different in mind when i was younger.
i used to want to be a macine learning engineer, but i sadly fell out of love with coding because of disinterest and too much math lol.
i am wanting to study political science and business to enter law school in the future to become an attorney instead. writing and reading are not only my hobbies, but my strengths as well.
i've wanted to be a doctor since i was three. graduating from med school right after i turn 23 in Feb
OMG YAY CONGRATS!!! I'm in STEM and took Honors Bio for med students last school year and I know how hard it is to get where you are.
That's so cute

Yeah.. I am on the lawyer route and its not for everyone haha. I also wanted to become a ballerina, but my body sadly was not up for the part especially being way to fragile at the time. a fashion designer is quite nice as well.
i hope youre happy with your job as a psychologist
I wanted to be a lawyer for the longest time but when I actually went to college for nursing and then changed it to Computer Information Systems 
I am so indecisive but I finally found what I like. Hopefully when I graduate I can find a job in Health Informatics

Yeah it is definitely not for everyone. I had a phase were I was obsessed with true crime and wanted to be a lawyer so bad but the cost of law school turned me away so bad. Hope you stay strong during school and enjoy your job as a lawyer

This is literally what happened to me I was studying nursing thinking I was about to be a cute little nurse in scrubs. I got a job as a nurse assistant and left my shifts crying every time from being abused by the patients and overworked by the nurses. Within 3 months I quit my job and changed my major. I literally got bit in the arm by an elderly patient. TRAUMA
Lawyer and im still hoping I'll get there
Wishing you luck we need more lawyer baddies on this planet
It's awesome that you're already close to your goals of becoming a musician/composer. Keep pushing – your passion will take you far.
If you're still hunting for more info on careers, I came across some details about The Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) administering certification exams. Interesting stuff if you're looking to diversify your skills.
As an entry-level employee, your salary will be around $25,000, so there's plenty of room for growth as you gain more experience.
Did my big dreams come true? Not exactly, but I found a path that makes me happy, and that's what matters.
I always thought I’d end up doing something creative, like writing or making films, but I never really pursued it seriously when I was younger. Recently, though, I’ve started getting into music, and it’s been such a great outlet. I’m nowhere near being a professional, but it’s something I enjoy a lot.
I’ve actually tried music lessons online to see if I can improve my skills, so maybe I even gonna write my own songs one day.
YES WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS
A teacher
I always imagined I would be a professional singer (being a kid of course I also imagined I'd be super famous haha ).
I used to be a semi-professional singer for some years but as an adult I quickly realised that music entertainment isn't so nice and probably isn't a place for me. I still sing, but I have a different view on it now.
