I recently came across Moorea Seal's 52 Lists project. It's a great 52 Week Project idea, and I do love lists (I've been on Listography for years), so I thought I would do this week's list.

List Your Childhood & Current Dream Jobs

As a kid I wanted to be:

- an artist

- a cartoonist

- a photographer

- an English or History teacher

- an editor

- a lawyer

- a professional soccer player (like Alexi Lalas & Mia Hamm)

- a veterinarian (who owned tons of animals, on a ranch)
- an archaeologist like Indiana Jones
- a paleontologist like Alan Grant in Jurassic Park

I wanted to be a combination of these, too, like a soccer player who teaches and paints on the side.

When it came time to go to school for something specific, I still wasn't quite sure, but here's a few ideas:

- a photographer

- a travel writer/photographer

- something in advertising

- get a degree in history: work at a museum

- is professional traveler a job?

- an editor

- something in publishing

- something in computers (design? programming?)

As I got older, my ideas became more vague, because I honestly haven't the foggiest idea yet what I want to be when I grow up. I haven't finished school because I never could decide on a major, and at this point, perhaps I could learn on my own, but who knows. I don't even know what I will be doing, or where I will be, this time next year, so I suppose, there's tons of possibilities just waiting, right?
