I wanted to be a professor or an artist and a housewife.

I'm unemployed, waiting for a disability hearing. Engaged, just went off meds so I can get pregnant (NOT FUN!), and selling art part-time.

I'm 34- wasn't diagnosed until age 30, so I missed a lot of the years when people normally work towards these things.

I don't really remembering wanting a career when I was younger. For a while I said paleontologist because it was the longest word I knew. I had no clue going into college and just majored in the program that I liked the teachers the most. It took until my senior year to realize that I wanted to do social work which is what I am doing now. I absolutely love it!

I was a little alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me... Oh wait my life is not a song ><

When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut this was particularly heart breaking because glands on my neck would swell to the size of soft balls and my ears were affected by this. I used to take something every time I flew because the pressure would cause issues again.
As a preteen I had moved from Cali and really just wanted to be "normal"
As a teenager I wanted to be a fashion designer or a chemist or a chemist fashion designer I could make all the geeky stuff!!!
I got a reality check senior year so I went for chemist got to organic 2 and couldn't pass so I decided to switch to microbiology. I excelled compared to chemistry and now I work for the water company and I dream of being promoted into a microbiology position
Now as an adult I want to be a horse breeder and trainer, while working part time as a microbiologistXD

When I was little, I wanted to be a doctor.
Around puberty that became musician.
These days I want to blend author and musician. I'm a teen now.
Going to grab an English degree once I'm in college - it will help me find a job in an area I like.
