First I wanted to be a policeman / fire fighter because they were the ones who helped everybody and to whom everyone looked up. However, come year 9 when I was still adamant about that as a profession my paretns talked to me and in no uncertain terms said I was not going to become a policeman/fire fighter because it was too dangerous and they'd be worrying all the time. I then went through a rebellious stage when I told everyone I was gonna join the army... yeah.


But come year 10, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to do medicine, and now (hopefully) I can finally start that journey!!

Hmm I've been through (kind of ordered by age):
Vet
Author
Archaeologist/Paleontologist
Engineer
Interior Decorator
Doctor
Scientist (of the awesome/Nobel Prize winning variety)
Mathematician

Some of these came and went and came again.

EDIT:
Also went through an Astronomer phase, a fashion designer phase (I still like making clothes), and a forensic scientist phase (too much CSI/NCIS/etc lol)

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

... Did no one else here ever want to be a writer? :(

And at some point, I wanted to be a teacher, or a psychologist (sometimes I still do, actually).

Fire man not because it was heroic or for saving people, but because they get to wield the mighty water cannon. I seriously thought that there was nothing cooler than a water cannon...
