Just watching a programme on BBC4 about the moon, and reminds me of when I was young and had the stereotypical ambition of wanting to be an astronaut.  I am still fixated by the idea of looking back on the earth from space, and walking on the moon.

Its got me wondering what other people wanted to do when they were young?  My superior half is in the enviable position of doing exactly what she always wanted to do for a living.  Anyone else this lucky?

No. Want to make music. Well I do but not a large recognised scale. I'm too old to be "young" now though. All that went out the window 4 years ago. Wish I could turn the clock back and be 16 again tbh.

When i was really young it was a spaceman or a doctor,but i think one fixation came from watching space 1999 and the other from playing doctors and nurses.

But the older i got i wanted to be a paramedic,but sometimes we get lost along the way and choose a different path.

I wanted to drive Ivor the Engine. Specifically.

I wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller. Yeovil is living my dream......

i wanted to be in the specials.

I wanted to be in girls aloud

Which one did you want to be in,assuming you're a male

I wanted to work in the British Rail Rail Works at Swindon...which I did, I aimed low!

I pretty much do what i always wanted to do. Follow in my Dad's footsteps and do what i want.

;D

All of them to be honest

I always used to want to be a jockey as my grampy used to always take me in the bookies!

He used to leave me outside in my pram till my mum drove by and saw me abandoned so from that day on he always took me in!  

I always wanted to be a steam train driver when I was little. I think every male has wanted to be a train driver at some point in the childhood, but I was properly obsessed for a long time.

Surprisingly, I'm not a steam train driver.

I wanted to be a medic in the RAF.  I'm not a medic and I'm not in the RAF.

Fuck working, I wanted to win the lottery and live the life of luxury.

I, like many others, still do!

I'm only just beginning to think I may never play for England in an Ashes series.

Last time I picked up a cricket bat was 2000.

Every young boy wanted to be a footballer didnt they? I went through a stage of wanting to be an ice crea van driver. never say never though

Football is one of those cruel areas - I knew by aged ten that it wouldn't happen.

I wanted to be a vet or an actor.
