A football playing king in space.

karate teacher. or cosmonaut. or cowgirl!

childhood me would be so disappointed in adult me :(

Test pilot. My goddamn health ruled it out completely.

Teach. I know awesome things, and I could make it so that other people also knew awesome things, but I cannot because I don't have the patience to do the teaching. I understand things, and I can't understand why someone approaching the concept for the first time does not understand it. Therefore I suck at teaching.

Surveillance. It's tremendously useful background to have for all the really interesting LEO specialties as well.

Fighter pilot. I loved planes as a kid, but my eyesight was terrible. There's surgery for that now and I've had it, but I'm way too old.

Astronaut.

Apparently this is no longer the case, but when I was growing up, it was required that you have 20/20 vision to enter the space program. So, the moment it became clear that I needed glasses is the moment when my dream died.

Now, honestly, I'm too old to get started.

I wanted to be a movie mad scientist, and I can't even find a job as a lab assistant.

Astronaut. Even if I had the right education and training, I can hardly stand an hour on an airplane without anxiety and motion sickness. :P Still wish I could do some kind of engineering or ground control for NASA, though.

Astronaut

Wish I could be a librarian.

Ha, its probably too late to be a Hollywood actress now. Though I don't think I could have made it work even when younger. Hell, trying to make a living writing is bad enough (and less romantic than it sounds by far).

I wish I could get paid to travel around. I always love exploring new places, but I wouldn't know how to go about making that a career. Plus my degree is in something completely different that I absolutely love and have loved since I was a kid.

Any kind of hard labour, like construction worker, damn you my brittle bones!

Professional dancer, I loved dancing but I was never good enough for it to be anything other than a hobby.

Bounty hunter. Space bounty hunter, to be specific.

Also, I would kill to be able to work at Walt Disney World again, but I don't see that happening in this lifetime.

Rockstar. Personal assistant to someone cool. Chef. Baker.

Forest ranger, or wildlife officer, something like that. Just my health is so shot that I'll not be able to ever do anything like that.

Court magician.

Because I want to be Merlin.

Pyrotechnist. I was pretty bad at school chemistry and didn't keep it until graduation, so there is no chance I could ever get into that field.

Ooh, magician. Card sharp. Professional poker player. Artist/illustrator. Private Investigator/detective.

Anything science-y. Because math. Ugh. :-(
