Either an astronaut or a Pretty Woman type of hooker and my profession did resemble them.

At first, I wanted to be a toy/robot maker.
Then, a PhD-level psychologist.
Now, I sort of work in business.

Did your profession embrace both at the same time Crunch?

My imagination is going crazy with the concept of 'space escorts'. I am adding this to my 'writing brainstorm' files. Color me intrigued :)

Yes, at the same time. I won't ruin your brainstorming by telling you my profession, unless you want me to and then I still won't. haha.

I had multiple things that intrested me, ranging from medicine over electronics to biology. All natural sciences fascinated me. I then did two degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering and then charisma brought me into politics. This is ok, since working as an engineer is not as creative, more daily routine work and science is too theorethical for me. I could imagine becoming an entrepreneuer so at age 40 maybe, after I travelled the world.

Ha! Thanks for preserving my imaginings (laughs).

My friend’s Mom was a Bubble Dancer in a club, when she was a young girl in Paris. When my friend first told me, I had to ask what it even meant (blush).

I thought it was a very glamorous occupation, but my parent’s didn’t share my enthusiasm :p

Never heard of a bubble dancer. It doesn't look degrading in most cases though. I wish I had a bubble and a pool. That'd be fun.

Astronaut, but to explore other planets; turns out I needed to be in the military to do so, which I don't want to be in for political reasons as well as with the fact that I can't cope with the harsh demands of the military
Secret agent/spy, but ditched it because I'd be sucking it up to the government, and it's also demanding.
Video game designer (my most realistic goal yet, but I came to ditch it because I came to hate the industry for Saints Row 3 and 4 AKA Saints Row: Redux)

Now, I'll take anything that allows me to earn money, besides working at a restaurant or in an office.

Mmm, those are all great. So, what is (was) your fave dinosaur?

Mine was Triceratops. I still have a somewhat fear (entirely rational, I tell you!) of T-Rex's.

I'm not sure what my favourite was. I liked the idea of herbivores that walked on 2 legs like carnivores, and I had a spinosaurus toy that I really liked.

I think it sounds rational, too. :p I think an area free of T-Rex's is a safer area to be in.

Did you ever enter the field [MENTION=26151]Mustafa[/MENTION]? Or do you do something different now?
I trained alot of Karate. I don't have a belt in Karate. To be anonymous. But my brother went into TKD and he won Norway mastership, a competition in Karate. He has like black, two of them. Now he does bodybuilding. Anyway. I went into the field, but later on I also wanted to shift career and become a meditation instructor in Iraq. But it is expensive to open up a zendo, let alone a dojo. Right noe i'm preparing for studying philosophy most probably or psychology. Philosophy.

Peace

The earliest I can remember is wanting to be an artist since I was around 3 years old. I'm currently trying to pursue that as a career. I also wanted to be a singer, actress, Belle from Beauty and the Beast in Disneyland, a model, and later a graphic designer, an architect, yoga instructor, a college professor, an author, a circus performer, a mime, oh and still a visual artist. I always wanted to be some sort of artist/performer. Never was too good at left brained stuff unfortunately.

Really wee lass: Dolly Parton. Liked her costumes and the fact she was a song-writer as well as a musician.

Never became a professional song-writer and after puberty realized that even my amount of 'boobs' was sumthin to deal with. Seriously > not sure how she does it! Tip my hat to the lady.


Elementary school: pathologist.

Dissecting in Bio years later put that to rest. I hadn't considered the smells.


Bit older: ballerina.

Mom bought me season's tickets to the RWB and I realized that I was not tall and willowy...and that prima donna's paid for their talent with blood and tears.


Throughout life was always interested in writing and teaching. Do both.


What I am taking in school now is less for reasons of passion and more for practicality.
