What did you want to be?

[sqbr]

I have an idea for a poll (inspired by this one and it's comments), but first need some data. So: what career(s) did you seriously consider in your youth? Lets say school-age, 5-17, since before that you're too young to know much, and after that you've plausibly started actually training for it. Any extra interesting information you feel like adding is welcome :)

Myself? In order: Writer, teacher(from early childhood till I did work experience as a teacher in year 11 :)), actor/comedian, astronomer/theoretical physicist (which lasted until my first astronomy lecture in second year :/)

Plus lots of vague ponderings that didn't last long.

And of course I got to combine a lot of these working at Scitech, which was fun for a while but reaffirmed that I do not, in fact, want to be a teacher or actor. Doing My Phd, and my webcomic, have somewhat satisfied the writing bug too.

Hrm...

Doctor
Marine biologist (Everyone thought this would be cool as a kid!)
Pharmacist (God knows why. I think I liked the idea of the orderliness of a pharmacy?)
Doctor again
Scientist (of some sort. I didn't really know).

I still don't really know what I want to do, Dr. Sophie!! I think I want to do research in science (in biochem, because biochem is fun!), but who knows what will happen. The world is full of possibilities.

Hey, I'm still not sure what I want to do, and I've done a couple of things :)
