What did you want to be when you grow up?
What do you do now?
Are you going to school? If so for what?


There was a ad on my Facebook page this morning about becoming a dietitian. I was a cook in Dietary and had thought about becoming a dietician so I decided to sign up for more information, I think that was the wrong thing to do because I got 2 calls in the last 10 minutes about it. But I think its time for me to find some type if online schooling so I can have a career when both kids start school.

What did you want to be when you grow up?  Besides being a mom, I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I've always gotten A's in Science for as long as I could remember. I took suba diving classes when I was 13, and finished scuba school when I was 14. I have no idea why I didn't keep going lol. In high school, I partied, HARD. I wanted to be a bartender to keep up with my lifestyle (at the time), so I went to bartending school after high school, graduated and I'm a licenced professional mixologist lol. I guess I could never really make my mind up, but being a mom was always my #1 goal, and I'm happy to say that that's one goal I reached and I couldn't be any happier about it.
What do you do now? I'm a sahm <3
Are you going to school? If so for what? I don't go to school. I looked into medical school (i wanted to be a surgical tech), beauty school (we all know i'm a nail whore), and ASl (i wanted to be a translator). I can't make my mind about what I really want to do, besides be a mom lol.

I was thinking of going back to school for cooking but I don't know what I'd do with a degree like that.

I wanted to be a teacher. I have a teaching degree but I'm not a teacher. I want to go back to school to be a lactation consultant, I've just had a hard time figuring out what I new to do. If we get our house though I am making a bigger effort to get it figured out.

growing up I wanted to be either an architect or a hostage negotiator

Now I want to be an elementary school teacher and I am going to school for it :)

honestly going to school while having little kids might be one of the hardest things Ive ever done, but I am like you and I want to have a career when both of my kids are in school so its worth it!

What did you want to be when you grow up? 

I wanted to be a police officer.  I graduated with a BS in Criminal Justice.  


What do you do now?  I was a SAHM for almost 5 yrs.  I just picked up a p/t job (2 days a week) for some extra money.  I work at a trampoline park.


Are you going to school? If so for what?

I am not currently in school, but I wish I was!  I would love to go back for nursing.

1 mom liked this

I wanted to be a famous artist or an art teacher, there was also a time I wanted to be a vet.

I am currently going to school to be in the HIT(Health Information Technology) field. Which can be applied to vet's offices, but I dont think I would luck out to find a job like that where I live. I am excited about the possibilities this schooling will give me.

You should become a nail tech! You could even do nails at your house if you wanted LOL.

That's awesome! When I was real young I wanted to be a teacher, now I just don't think its for me though.

I totally should. I just did black angle tips with blood red mini hearts for Valentine's Day, and I did little lady bugs on Miah's lol. I'm such a nail whore! I do our nails like every 2 days. lol.
