What Did You Want To Be When You Grew up?
pwhodges:
Picture a pharmacist as a kindly old man with half-moon glasses, leaning over the counter of his shop...
Pharmacist: What do you want to be when you grow up, little boy?
Little Boy: A doctor!
Pharmacist: What kind of doctor would you like to be, little boy?
Little Boy: A witch doctor!
Career ideas that actually affected choices I made: Medicine; Pipe organ building; Sound recording; Computing. All of these have in fact been part of my life ever since I was a student, and I've earned money from three of them, directly or indirectly (and some not mentioned, such as Music editing).
Nikolai:
Boba Fett. Mercenary. Soldier.
1/3 so far, and the other two aren't entirely out of the realm of possibility either.
Patrick:
I wanted to be a fighter pilot too, and coincidentally enough, I also wanted to fly Hornets. A whole host of issues including less-than-stellar eyesight prevented that, but I'm happy as a musician whose day job is 'retail wage slave.'
Mlle Germain:
My serious career wishes (i.e. those that I can remember having seriously considered) are, in chronological order:
chemist, novelist, journalist (<-- these two constitute my literary phase), chemist, mathematician, physicist (at this point I started studying physics), mathematician --> mathematical physicist.
This is the current one and since I am still studying, I wouldn't say that I have achieved that yet. I'm starting my PhD in string theory in October. Long-term goal: University professor in mathematical physics. I know that the chances of achieving this are not terribly good and you have to be both very good and extremely lucky to get there, but that's the only thing I really want to do, so I have to try.

Gosh, yes. I want a pony. However, I do realise that with my current career path, that's not likely to happen - ponies need lots of time and attention.
Thrillho:
I apparently wanted to be a sea lion.
I'm uh... I'm not one of those.
