    When i was a boy i wanted to be a...

    Artist, I think from about 6 i always wanted to become an artist. I still love designing but now i have picked up a mouse instead of a paint brush.. I think it came down to my passion for computers that pushed me in that direction. I got an A in Art GCSE and was torn between either computers or art but i have gone for computers. Anyway just wondered what you dreamed of being when you was a nipper and what you have become now.

    Stuntman! Serious, when I was growing up, I always wanted to be a stuntman. I'd get into all sorts of scrapes climbing trees, scaling things and whatnot...

    Archaeologist and then a removals man. Now I'm a doctor. That was a stupid thing to do. And to rub it in, my brother is an archaeologist. Bah!

    Also an Artist - I was pretty good as I remember, I won National Art competitions and stuff. Never kept it up though, no advice or plans to use it in the practical sense, so I dropped it at GCSE.

    Me too I did at one point apply for the army & specified the Tank Rgiment as my preferred destination but all that shouting & following orders stuff put me off.

    My inherrant laziness saved the day ra ra ra!

    Well Im lucky enough to never have been a little boy....

    But when I was a little girl I first wanted to be a teacher (!) and then when I was at school I wanted to do something that involved me using foreign languages as I was quite good at German etc.

    However Ive ended up doing something a million times more boring, as Im an accountant!!!

    And nowadays I dream about being Brad Pitt/Orlando Bloom's personal err..... assistant!!!!
