  1. Hello dear people curious I am I wanted to ask wich job you wanted to do when you was just a little kid like you dreammm job

    simple like that

    ....me

    I wanted to be a archeologist because I saw the movie of Indiana jone so I thinked it was so much cool like that but when I grown ups...I realise how it was not like Indiana Jones ;_; ...

    but also wanted to be a ''pompier'' but the drawing is my true vocation~

    so you people what it was your dream job when you was kid?
  2. To be the organist for the dodgers...  Haha!  No... seriously!

    That, or a video game designer (Developer). :)

    Also, To be a voiceover artist!
  3. Dream Job was to become an artist, also a fashion designer!
  4. Like the typical nerd kid that I was I wanted to be astronaut.
  5. I wanted to be a vet, and an author... The vet thing never panned out, but I'm still working on the author bit.
  6. Pilot! Because I like flying things
  7. Author

    I gave up when publishers weren't interested in high comedy, fantasy adventure stories for teems and adults and more interested in sparkly vampires and topless werewolves
  8. Dream job as a kid: President of the Republic (don't laugh)

    Dream job as an adult: Movie Actor (not really for the money or the fame but because I like to entertain people with acting)

    Actual job: Head Waiter.

    I did all the sorts of jobs in my life:

    bartender, electrician, bricklayer, painter, warehouseman, regular waiter, computer technician and appliances technician.

    Thanks to my experience with all these jobs I basically learned to do almost everything, which is an awesome thing.

    Hey, there has to be a first for everything! Besides, I can tell you, Sparklepoo Vampire Love Story doesn't really sell anymore. How do I know? I run the entertainment department for a major retailer. (I also work electronics, toys, luggage, automotive, seasonal and infant accessories.)

    My dream job when I was a kid was to be an animator. Then I wanted to work with video games. Then my interest shifted to comic books. I found out in high school that I like to write, and am actually working on a novel right now. (Currently on the back burner until I can find someone who works in law enforcement to do some fact checking.)
  11. To be honest, I never thought too much about what I wanted to WORK with. But when I was a kid I surely wanted to create things and use my imagination. I wanted to make cartoons, I wanted to create monsters and bring them to life (?), and when I was introduced to video games all I wanted was to create my own games. So I could say that my dream as a kid was to be an artist when I grew up. 

     

    On my teenager years I abandoned this idea and for me it was just an impossible dream. So despite of struggling with this fact, I accepted that I would have a boring regular job that I didn't need to like. 

     

    Plot twist: turns out that the only job I could get was doing art for an indie game, which is my current (dream)job.
  12. Astronaut

    When I was still a kid, I've always wanted to be an astronaut.

    Your right, I am still doing a bit to become an artist. That's why I always participant in weekly art challenges. These things always help to reach our dream.
  14. Thanks but I decided to put my author dream into putting my stories into RPG maker and making comics into it which I think is an awesome alternative.
  15. Dream job? I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.

    Jk. Back then, I wanna be a soldier.
  16. I wanted to own Squaresoft.

    Now I know better. So I'm going for Square-Eidos-Enix! (not really)

    It's kind of bad that I'm 30 now (D: ) and I am not sure what my dream job would be. I figured if I were a big enough indie dev so I can live off of what I sold, then that would be nice :D I need more self confidence and to work on a project I'd be proud of for this though...

    Current job is material services, so I get packages and put in the computer what we were shipped. Not the most exciting job, but it's something for now.
  17. hahaha so much cool dream job xD!

    myself A ANOTHER dream job dont think i am creep around  before I fall in the teenager...

     almost 8 I think

    I saw the fisrt thing who make me love cat girl like a hell xD

    I saw multicultural cat girl nukku nukku

    so my dream job become I wanted to be a genetician for..just create a Cat girl for me...but after I realise it is illigal to manipulate Human genetic T-T...so my dream was broken...*snif*
  18. I wanted to be the manager of a Blockbuster store. (For those who don't know, Blockbuster was a chain video rental shop in the US before it went out of business.)

    Typical 10 year old logic: "I could rent all the free movies and video games I want! What more could I possibly wish for!"

    Yeah... I didn't have very high aspirations as a kid.
  19. I wanted to be an astronaut.

    And then I realized my entire life would revolve around number crunching in zero gravity, and decided 0G wasn't worth number crunching.

    After that, I wanted to be a surgeon, but decided against it as I have rather shaky hands. Which, as you have probably figured out, does not help in delicate procedures.

    Then I decided I just wanted to be filthy stinking rich. Still do.

  20. Hmm... when I was a kid I kind of wanted to be a medical examiner, morbid I know but my reasoning was that I was fascinated with the human body and such but the idea of cutting into living people (as a doctor would do) disturbed me more than cutting into dead ones. I mean, you can't really accidentally kill a dead person if you mess something up.

    As for a dream job I've come to realize over the years that I've toiled away that my dream job is to not work at all, I'd much rather be a Mr.mom then to do any of the actual jobs I've ever worked before, including the jobs I enjoyed doing like being a vet tech and the brief stint I did as a park ranger up in Bankhead.
