In Kindergarten - a police office
then from year 3 to 7 - A car designer (I had no idea what the profession was called)
7-11 - Car designer -> mechanical engineer, pilot
11-12 - Computer Engineer

Then: Surgeon- I was obsessed with all those medical shows back in the day
Now: Management/Marketing for Ferrari or McLaren, or something within the FIA. It's the next best thing to being a mechanical engineer for an F1 team, but it's too bad I suck shit at maths etc

As you can see I maintain very realistic goals for my future

I think another similar and good question like this would be

What you wanted to be in your life and what you ended up with. but i am pretty sure that goes for adult forums not us students.

What I wanted to be as a child? umm my dreams kept changing, but I present you a list from beginning to now

1. Pilot (Got 0 skills and forgot about it, I think it was just a childish thought maybe)
2. Electronics/Electrical Engineer (I am pretty good with electronics, circuits, functions and stuff thanks to the dream)
3. Software Engineer (Umm forgot some stuff but i am still good with software(s), back in the days i have also created my own internet browser )
4. Web Developer (I am pro with websites, I have created above 15 websites and 13 of them are 100% professional)
5. 3D computer animator[RIGHT NOW] (I am planning for Computer 3D Animator, producing the same animations as seen on animated movies such as Rio, How To Train Your Dragon, Monster INC and so on. I guess you pretty much got the idea. I have created several animations on this game called "Minecraft" its easier to do it on this as there are rectangular characters. I have created about 21 Animations and got a thousand subscribers on YouTube. )

and being very honest, I have learned all this stuff by myself, No one had helped, just kept watching tutorials and figuring stuff out myself.

PS: I am in HSC and Doing pretty bad as i am not a nerd
