My kids want to be a bum, a pastry chef and princess. What about yours?

[Karen in CO]

This is somewhat in response to the thread that is somewhat about the value of college. My son is going to college next year (probably in Japan) and is going to major in Asian studies and minor in Japanese. He wants to either be a spy or an "international bum" when he graduates. My first grader wants to be a pastry chef, and my youngest wants to be a princess. If she can't be a princess, her second choice is a queen.

What do your kids want to be when they grow up?

[Kelli in TN]

My oldest is still deciding!

My 19 year old wants to write the great American novel. Or be a librarian. But being a librarian requires quite a bit of math and you pretty much have to start out with a master's in library science. So writing the great American novel might be easier.

(Short answer-she is currently an English major because she loves words. Words that others wrote, words that she wrote, the act of writing words. She is just amazingly gifted with words. She just doesn't know for sure yet how she wants to use her gift)

My 17 year plans to major in political science with a minor in history and her intention is to save the world. From liberals, but I did not say that out loud.

My 12 year old would like to be a chef.

My 10 year old would either like to be the new leader singer of Superchick. Or a princess. She still has a lot of princess left in her.

My 8 year old wants to be a video game tester. Oh, and he was going to be a contestant on American Idol, until yesterday. Yesterday we got his long shaggy hair cut, totally destroying his chances with American Idol. He reminded me of his missed opportunity for success and fame all the way home from Supercuts.

(There is a secret hidden message in here about one of my kids. You can find it if you want, but don't be offended if you do!!)

[3littlekeets]

My oldest DS 9 wants to be a gross-ologist of any kind or a Major League Baseball pitcher. Needless to say, we encourage the science ;-).


DD 6 wants to drive the Barbie car in Parades or work at a daycare center. Anything social and she'll be fabulous.:D


DS 5 wants to be a rock star or work at the movie theater so he can eat all the popcorn free and :lurk5: see movies the day they come out. HOwever, he already loves writing short stories, so I'm hoping journalism :lol:

[Brigitte]

dd6 - Wants to be a mother and take care of babies. She used to want to be a ballet teacher and a mother, but now she thinks that being just a mother with babies is more fun. (I must look like I am having a blast! :lol:)

ddalso6 - Wants to be a horseback rider. She also wants to be a mother, but only with 1 child. (Obviously she does not think I am having as much fun as her sister does. :D)

Guess which child is more difficult on a day to day basis????

[ELaurie]

an "inventor-scientist" who builds robots.

And, he wants to be rich.

As he says , "Not so that I can have a lot of money, but because God says we should share our money with the poor."

He's so earnest when he says it; I hope that part of him will never change :hat:

[Closeacademy]

My 2nd grader wants to be a scientist or a cook.

My Ker is already a princess but wants to be a cowgirl (she likes horses and cowgirls ride horses) and marry a Hawai'ian Prince and live in a castle in Hawai'i. I guess she had a good time there?


:)

[j.griff]

13yod- writer
6yos- has said he wants to work with his dad in the Navy
4yod- me, LOL.
2yod- I not G'ekah! I da monkey!!!

[HootyTooty]

Since about October my 7 yr old has been telling me he wants to be an architect. He plans on financing this by being a life guard at the pool.

Before that he had wanted to be a racecar driver. This aspiration lasted about for about 3 years. Until he met an architect at a career day.

[Linda]

DS6--A railroad engineer

DS5--A chef. No, a racecar driver. No, wait. A pilot. No a paleontologist. Maybe a snowboarder instead. Wait. Actually, an ice skater who does tricks in the air. And a chef too.

[Margaret in CO]

Let's see--first one wants to be a violin teacher--oh wait, she already is!

#2 wants to be a pilot--let's see, she already is, but she wants to go off the deck of a carrier--that will take longer to learn...

#3 is thinking physical therapy, in order to support her dreams of continuing to raise too many sheep and cows.

#4 wants to be an inventor, but he'll have to be one that invents something with books!

And #5 would probably still go for the princess idea... She just went through the house doing cartwheels wearing three long dress and a bonnet!

[Eliana]

dd 14.5 wants to be a Kollel rebetzin, and host dozens of people every Shabbos and Yom Tov... in case she ever needs to earn money, she wants to work in a chemistry lab - she isn't sure yet at what level or in which area of specialty, but she gets so excited about the idea of spending all day getting to use both her love of chemistry and her passion for precise, meticulous work! She's working on her Associates of Science which she wants to have completed before she is 18. She plans to get a biotech certification after that and try some different lab jobs and figure out from there what further education she might need. Somewhere in there, she plans to go to a seminary in Israel for a few years... She has the most grounded career/life plans I have ever seen in a kid her age - and despite all her planning she isn't locked in on a single path...

dd 13 wants to work with little kids (and have some of her own!). She'd like to find a way of using her handicraft skills and passions as well.

ds 11 wants to explore the world, be an inventor, and be involved in some kind of research

dd 9 wants to be an artist... but having read too many bios of starving artists, she's decided to have an art gallery as well. (Though she plans to have her family and ds's travel together sometimes as well!)

dd 6 wants to be a doctor (possibly a midwife as well, but definitely a doctor)

dd 6 wants to be an architect - at least that is her primary goal, she has a number of sidelines she plans to pursue as well.

[Eliana]

an "inventor-scientist" who builds robots.

And, he wants to be rich.

As he says , "Not so that I can have a lot of money, but because God says we should share our money with the poor."

He's so earnest when he says it; I hope that part of him will never change :hat:

Isn't that beautiful?

My eldest has been that way since she was small... she wants a big house and lots of financial resources so she can help as many people as possible.

My architect-to-be has elaborate plans for keeping down the prices on 'her' houses, so she can sell them very cheaply to anyone who needs them...

I hope we can mange to support this instinctive drive in our children as they grow up... it is such a lovely attitude towards one's resources and one's abilities to view them as tools for helping others.

[Jill, OK]

...one currently wants to be a racecar driver (3yo; I heard him say it *once*)

One wants to be a herpetologist (almost 13yo; he used to want to be a lawyer, and personally, I think he'll lean that way again, because he's mentioned other interests in the larger field of criminal justice, and he could outtalk any lawyer *I* know)

One wants to be a farmer (7yo; this is all she's ever said she wants to be)

One wants to be a "gymnasticker" (6yo)

And the 14yo...sometimes she says a writer, but I think she's still holding on to the dream of playing professional baseball, lol. (Not sure that's ever going to happen).

Edited to add: That's what I get for responding without asking, lol; 14yo wants to be the next Kristin Chenowith. Not a writer. At. All. But possibly still a professional baseball player. :-) (Don't you remember what it was like to be young? When it was possible to believe that you actually could be the next Kristin Chenowith, and that professional baseball just might expand to include women?)

[Jami]

Depending on the day of the week, my oldest (almost 7) wants to be an astronaut, scuba diver, or wallaby tamer (don't ask, lol). My middle girl wants to be an artist (like her dad) and ballet dancer. The little one usually wants to be whatever the big ones are planning, she'd settle for a cat though. :)

Edit--I just asked ds again, he still says astronaut, but Lego designer or movie designer are right up there.

[angela in ohio]

My 11 yo dd wants to be a large animal vet and marry a man with a horse farm (or, more relistically, be a "country vet" and work from home while raising her family.)

My 9 yo dd wants to do something with preschoolers and music therapy or speech therapy or something like that. She can do these until she gets married and then part-time from home after.

My 5 yo ds wants to be a pastor, but we believe that a pastor should be someone older who has lived and raised a family so well that he is esteemed, so we are talking about possible "until I can be a pastor, while I raise my family" jobs.

[Luanne]

at the moment. She is already part way through school to become a Wedding Consultant, but thinks that it is too girly.

Growing up she went through periods of wanting to be a lawyer, a police officer, an airplane pilot, and an interior decorator.

Who knows what she will actually do with her life?

[CookieMonster]

My son wants to be a snow plow man. Seriously. He thinks it's the coolest thing since sliced bread.

He asked Daddy to buy him a snow plow today.

[KIN]

run our family business. He would be a 3rd generation taking over, but has his 3 brothers and my brother's 3 girls that may want to run it as well. :) My 2nd son always shrugs his shoulders and says "I don't know...". My 3rd son wants to be a Daddy. That's it. A daddy. I think he couldn't be anything better than that!

[Sandy in Indy]

dd 20 will graduate next year with an English degree. She wants to edit children's books. Mostly she wants to get married, have children and homeschool. (Isn't that quite a compliment!)

ds17 is planning on pharmacy school. I'm not sure if that fact that my family has been pharmacists since they had to go out in the fields to find the ingredients for the meds draws him...or maybe it's the big bucks they make as soon as they graduate with multiple job offers.

ds7 is going to be an inventor, specifically he plans to invent Transformers. (I really do see him in some sort of engineering kind of career.)

[Jennifer in MI]

ds11 - aerospace engineer
ds10 - professional baseball player or a policeman
ds7 - dog trainer
dd2 - she says, "I'm going to be three." :lol:

[Mama Lynx]

Two paleontologists, one spaceship designer (or owner of his own computer game company), and one military strategist (preferably without any of that soldiering bit, you know, where you could get hurt or something).

My prediction: Two engineers/computer science/IT types, one paleontologist, and one professional stuntman.

[Peela]

Dd13 isn't sure but she wants to be really, really wealthy. Although she is an artistic type, spends 2 hours every day drawing and painting, and loves to write- that kind of kid- she for some reason has got science based careers in mind- doctor, forensic scientist, medical scientist, something like that. No pressure on me or anything :001_huh::rolleyes:

Ds12, my dyslexic non academic child who fights me every day to get out of doing the bare miniimum of work, wants to be a Vet. (I know, dyslexic kids can go far...it's just not looking good from here!):001_rolleyes:

[RebeccaC]

My oldest son 16 on Friday wants to be a missionary to China, or Africa, run an orphanage, and write children's books ala C.S.Lewis. He wants to adopt as many kids as he can that has been one of his dreams for years now.

Youngest son 14 wants to do something in the filed of science and cook as a hobby. I imagine that his dreams will change a bit since they are so nebulous. However I am cashin in on the be a cook hobby :D Um any time I can get out of cooking is good:lol: He baked a cake for Children's ministry at our church today and it was a big hit. He is tho adamant that he does not want to cook for a living.

Fun thread.

[Caroline]

Dd13 isn't sure but she wants to be really, really wealthy. Although she is an artistic type, spends 2 hours every day drawing and painting, and loves to write- that kind of kid- she for some reason has got science based careers in mind- doctor, forensic scientist, medical scientist, something like that. No pressure on me or anything :001_huh::rolleyes:



I have a Ph.D. in engineering. I teach math. In my spare time (ha ha) I am a fiber artist and have had pieces in quilt shows and gallery shows. It feeds my soul to do my art. I am sure your daughter can do both if she so desires. Oh, and my kids all hang out in my studio with me.

As for my kids...My ds13 wants to design video games or be a marine biologist or maybe design marine biology software. My DS7 wants to be whatever his older brother is so they can work together. However, he loves to take data, so maybe he will be some sort of scientist. DD3 wants to be a doctor. and DS1 wants to learn to run very fast without falling on his nose.:D

[Jenny in Atl]

Dd 12 wants to be an actress. She loves the stage but she'd be happy to do a movie.
Dd 7 wants to do something with animals (research/how they work) and a geologist.

I still have not figured out what I want to do yet. If I could get over the smell, I would love to do something like CSI or solve research mysteries.

[True Blue]

Oldest computer engineer or other kind of engineering, next nurse or singer, and the last two want to be artists and never leave home.

[Soph the vet]

Ds12, my dyslexic non academic child who fights me every day to get out of doing the bare miniimum of work, wants to be a Vet. (I know, dyslexic kids can go far...it's just not looking good from here!):001_rolleyes:

One of my very favorite classmates from vet school is dyslexic, not only in writing, but also in speaking as he would say some very funny things. However, he has done really well, it was a lot of hard work but he did it and has been a great vet!

[Soph the vet]

Dd9 definitely wants to be an artist. She is somewhat of an entrepreneur as well.
Ds7 engineer like dad, or a professional baseball player:001_smile:.

Dd5 orphanage director until she has ten babies of her own and moves to South Dakota, her favorite state.

[momtolgd]

DS7: Doctor, astronaut, restaurant owner, dad

DD5: Doctor, mom, cop

DS1: I think at this point he wants to be Elmo, and anyone who can throw a ball...ok, so he didn't tell me this, but after all he's only 1 and doesn't say much yet! :tongue_smilie:

[Once]

My first wants to be a dress or a house designer.

My second wants to be a zookeeper. He has never wavered on this one and it was one of Dh's secret wishes for himself.

My third wants to swim with the dolphins and sharks. His second choice is a firefighter.

I'll be proud of them all no matter what!!!! :001_smile:

[Daisy]

My Ds 6yo wants to be a teacher (like his Dad) but he is going to teach me, his Dad and his sister only. Oh, and he is living with me forever and gets very upset if anyone suggests otherwise.

My DD 8.5yo wants to be a children's author and SAHM.

[Cornerstone Classical]

Ds (14) Personal Injury Attorney
Ds (6) Computer Programmer
Dd (5) Vet

[HeatherH]

When I was little I told my mom I wanted to be a bus driver, a teacher, and a nurse. I'd drive the kids to school, teach them all day, drive them home, and be a nurse at night.

Looks like an accurate prediction of my current lifestyle! ;)

[Lorna in the boonies]

Dd 15 -- chef
Ds 11 -- missionary
Dd 6 -- "I want to be a cowgirl, but God is calling me to be a policewoman". Funny girl!

[Mekanamom]

dd7: (no hesitation whatsoever) Robotics Engineer

dd9: Farmer or Rancher

dd11: Artist

[Karenciavo]

ds14 - Pastor or screenplay writer/director
ds13 - Imagineer
ds5 - Scientist. He walks around with a clip board every day writing down his observations. He's so cute.

[Sasharowan]

ds12-something with video games and no math or writing, reading is good though.
dd8-a professional baseball player and a rockstar
ds6-a rock star, a race car driver, or an Elvis imitator
ds2-Eat?

[WagsWife]

This is somewhat in response to the thread that is somewhat about the value of college. My son is going to college next year (probably in Japan) and is going to major in Asian studies and minor in Japanese. He wants to either be a spy or an "international bum" when he graduates. My first grader wants to be a pastry chef, and my youngest wants to be a princess. If she can't be a princess, her second choice is a queen.

What do your kids want to be when they grow up?

My oldest, since she was five, has wanted to be a missionary's wife. Our middle dd, has not decided yet...but my DH just happened to ask our youngest (7) this question earlier. She wants to go into the Air Force before she gets married and be a homeschool mom after she gets married. Why? Because, "you and Mom seem to like what you do." :Angel_anim:

[Audrey]

It changes weekly, but recently he's said he wants to be the head master of his own school for homeschooled kids (figure that one out! :001_smile:) and he also wants to be an astronomer on the side, and in his spare time, he will be a carpenter, a farmer and a Lego designer.

And, you know what? I do believe he may actually possess the energy to be able to pull all that off! :willy_nilly:

[Jean in Newcastle]

DD6 - It is a toss up between pediatrician or a police officer.

DS10 - He wants to design lego sculptures for Lego Land!

[HSMom2One]

DD 8yo wants to be a pet groomer most days, but also would like to be a teacher or a pop star. Aaaah, to have the world at your fingertips!

[hsmamainva]

My oldest (17 next month) wants to be either a US Marshal or an FBI Agent -- at the very least, she wants to join the State Troopers, if she isn't hired by a national protection agency. She's planning on going to college full-time in 2009, with a major in criminal justice, and she's working on achieving her Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do

My second (14 in May) wants to be an artist -- he's also looking at graphic design and architecture

My third (8) wants to be a doctor -- most likely a pediatrician

My youngest (6) so far wants to be a librarian -- hey, she loves to read!

[NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too]

Nick/11: game designer (would love to work for Jagex)

Zack/9: Magician/illusionist (3 years of magic under his belt already. Will be marrying a showgirl and put his folks up in a nice penthouse in Vegas.:thumbup:

Mom's observation:

Nick/11: lawyer (loves logic, arguing and has pretty good writing skills) or
accountant (good with numbers, like to work solo).

Zack/9: Physics/Science Teacher (he loves to explain how everything works to anyone who has a set of ears!). I think he'd make a great college professor.

[dragons in the flower bed]

5yob -- rescuing exotic, endangered animals

7yob -- transportation engineer, specifically, designing a functional interstate public train system :auto:

10yob -- Weird Al Yankovich impersonator in Las Vegas

What do I think they'll do? Gosh, they're so little. I think I'm going to do everything I can to help them actualize their dreams.

[rockermom]

6 yo wants to either be an "army man" or play for the Chicago Cubs

10 month old - I think he either wants to be a professional eater or professional pooper

One of my 6 yo great-nephews says he wants to either be a marine biologist, a zoologist or a superhero.

[Just Me]

These are really interesting to read!

My 12yo ds- a youth minister, like his dad.

My 11yo dd - a pet store owner, and a mom

My 8yo ds - a racecar driving, game testing chef. Many varied interests!!

Of course, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! :confused:

[JFS in IL]

11-yr-old dd wants to study all about animals and ecology and "save the planet" while also becoming best friends with Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana.

14-yr-old dd wants to be the next Stephanie Meyers (author or "veggie teen vampires in love books") and/or design houses.

16-yr-old ds (and this alarms me) so far only wants to become part of the Mythbusters team and blow things up.

His 16-yr-fraternal twin (autism) just plans to "be a kid forever and never go to work" (his words.) He may well get HIS dream - Illinois is now ranked LAST for support services etc. for people with disabilities in the country!

[Jan in SC]

My oldest ds 7yo wants to be a Disney imagineer or a vet.

My 6yo ds isn't really " into" anything, yet - according to him!

My 5yo ds... a cowboy doctor? or......... a HOT DOG ??!!:D

I think we have a lot of work to do!

[elegantlion]

These are just making me smile this morning....

My ds10 wants to be...

at 7 he told he wants to fly jets and land on aircraft carriers
at 9 he started designing weapons with legos and assorted toy guns
at 9 he told me he wanted to make Star Wars 7,8 & 9
at 9 he told me he wants to play in the WPT (World Poker Tour)
at 10 he started taking apart computers and old cell phones to see how they work

Today he said he wants to be a world class poker player, who makes movies. The movie making will allow him to travel the world while doing covert operations, including weapon design, for the US Government. :ohmy:

[ThelmaLou]

Ds 12 wants to be in management (like his Dad) and do magician work on the side. He says if these don't work, he'll go to work for a credit card company. He says so many people owe the credit card companies so much money that surely he could rake in the dough there. (Not so sure Dave Ramsey would approve of this!)
Ds 11 wants to be a magician.
Ds 9 wants to be a bank president (he figures they make a lot of money)
Ds 7 wants to be a police officer.

What's up with the two kids wanting to make a lot of money? We're always encouraging them to consider what they're good at, what they enjoy, and how God might use their abilities to bless others and provide for a family. We'd love it if some of them wanted to be in full time ministry, too, and of course that's not exactly lucrative. But bank president and credit card company? Where'd we go wrong?

[danielle]

My daughter wants to be me, but not work as hard (what does that tell you!) Two years ago, she wanted to be a chef. Last year, she wanted to be a manga artist. This year (14yo) she wants to be a world famous harpist (emphasis on world famous, I think), composer, and professor of ethnomusicology. Whew!

Make no small plans, huh?!
Danielle

[PrairieAir]

17yods - Says he wants to be like his dad. Aw, sweet! He also says he wants to be a Marine for the next four years and then maybe come back to work the family construction business.

15yodd - Small animal vet. We keep telling her that she needs to rethink that. She can get most if not all of her college paid for if she agrees to be a large animal vet in a rural community for a few years. That's a lot of money. There is also more of a demand for large animal vets and less people who want to do it.

13yods - Says he isn't sure. He's talked about being an artist or an archaeologist. He loves to cook, so I could see him being a chef as well.

11yodd - Gymnastics coach and possibly go to school for sports psychology. She's only 11 and her whole world revolves around gymnastics. She used to talk about becoming a vet or animal trainer and working with her sister.

[Gamom3]

18yr old going to Culinary School in the fall to be a chef

12yr old..right now wants to do the same as his db

10yr old wants to be a vet...I look for that to change, she doesn't have a strong stomach.

[Jenny in Florida]

An actress/entrepreneur (12-year-old daughter) - She wants to start her own repertory company and also a national organization of community theatres that would allow them to share resources.
A robotics engineer (10-year-old son). That is, of course, unless the show business career takes off and he ends up being too busy dancing or whatever to build any robots.--Jenny

[Riverfront Headmistress]

My 7 yo wants to live in Hawaii as a singing sushi chef. :D My 10 yo wants to be a music therapist. The 15 yo wants to be an architect and 17 yo just wants to make it through high school.

[OnTheBrink]

Dd wants to be a "marineologist." Meaning, I think, a marine biologist.

Ds wants to work in film, animation or something. He's not totally nailed down on the specifics.

[strider]

My oldest is still deciding!

My 19 year old wants to write the great American novel. Or be a librarian. But being a librarian requires quite a bit of math and you pretty much have to start out with a master's in library science. So writing the great American novel might be easier.

(Short answer-she is currently an English major because she loves words. Words that others wrote, words that she wrote, the act of writing words. She is just amazingly gifted with words. She just doesn't know for sure yet how she wants to use her gift)

My 17 year plans to major in political science with a minor in history and her intention is to save the world. From liberals, but I did not say that out loud.

My 12 year old would like to be a chef.

My 10 year old would either like to be the new leader singer of Superchick. Or a princess. She still has a lot of princess left in her.

My 8 year old wants to be a video game tester. Oh, and he was going to be a contestant on American Idol, until yesterday. Yesterday we got his long shaggy hair cut, totally destroying his chances with American Idol. He reminded me of his missed opportunity for success and fame all the way home from Supercuts.

(There is a secret hidden message in here about one of my kids. You can find it if you want, but don't be offended if you do!!)

Editing and copyediting involve both evaluating and tightening someone else's writing, as well as a fair amount of your own writing (publicity copy, re-writing a bad author <ugh>). It is also easy to edit/copyedit/proofread on a freelance basis.

Just a thought.

[Colleen]

Once in a blue moon (okay, when I read posts like this;)), I ask my guys what they want to be when they grow up. They almost never mention anything specific. My oldest has just recently started saying he wants to be a wildlife biologist or something along those lines, but he's not wed to the idea. My second son dreams of playing professional soccer, in the way kids dream about stuff like that. But I've certainly never had a little one say he wants to do a particular job when he grows up...

My kids are the "I-don't-know" kind of kids too. I mean, they come up with stuff to answer people who ask, but they don't have any amazing drive toward any one thing.

Side note: My dh originally went to school to become a wildlife biologist (like his professor father) and my bil is employed by WA in wildlife biology. Interesting work, lousy compensation!!!!!:thumbdown:

[Needleroozer]

My dd decided when she was 9 that she wants to be a concert pianist. When she was 11, she told us her goal had changed, and that she now wanted to be the best pianist in the whole world.

Ds isn't sure, but thinks he may want to act. I have no idea what he will turn out to be, but I am sure it will involve other people, as he has so much empathy for others. I would like for him to go to college, but am coming to the realization that this may not be the best plan for him- that way I won't be shocked if he ever tells me this.

[Mary in NJ]

1. Farmer and then President
2. Army Special Forces

My son: An Rocket Engineer

My dd: A Mama! (and have lots of animals and be a farmer's wife!)

My five kids: an artist, a millionaire, a spy, an enigma, and a cowboy. :-)

[mellifera]

Ds1: an astronomer
Dd1: a nurse

[Shelly in MD]

Your original post made me smile! My 6yo wants to work at an Brusters (an ice cream shop); 5th grade ds wants to be a professional lacrosse player; 7th grade dd wants to be an orthopedic nurse, with time on the side to have a horse farm. My 2yo seems to be leaning towards a career in demolition...

Shelly

[Antonia]

A ballet dancer and an actor. So much for my latin-reading intellectuals...

[Hazelt"nut"]

Dd6 at this point in her life wants to live in Narnia and if she can't do that then she wants to write books like that. My ds3 cries if he can't help make dinner with me..so maybe I have a chef in the making. Who knows what next week, month or year will bring.

Sheryl
