It warms my heart to see a person fulfill their childhood dreams. Congrats, O'Really.
Like a lot of little boys, I idolized my father and wanted to be just like him. He was an attorney in those days. Still, there was nothing cooler in the world to a five year old boy in 1980 than the Star Wars movies. I was absolutely sure I wanted to be Luke Skywalker.
The wonderful thing about being 5 is that you have very few preconceived notions about what can and cannot come to be. I couldn't choose between my dreams, so I did what any logical person would - I combined them.
I wanted to be a jedi lawyer.
My family has gotten no end out of the humor of this story. My dad's office still bears carved wooden placard reading "C. Clozoff, Jedi Lawyer".
As you grow up, though, you inevitably lose your childish perspectives. I eventually grew out of being a lawyer.
But I still want to be a jedi.

Hmmm.
My first ambition was to become a Computer Programmer (this was back in 1977, and my father worked in the computer room at a local plant) Later, I wanted to be a (don't laugh) test pilot, and finally decided that the life of an author would be the one for me.
Mind you, I work in Sales & Marketing for a local retailer now.

I wanted to be a soldier, and I was for a while. Since then I have been a janitor, computer operator, student, teacher, ski bum, store clerk, logger, and snowcat driver. I would have to say I fit the jack of all trades, master of none lable...oh wait, I am a Master ...of Arts!

That's an interesting question. I didn't so much want to "Be" anything as much I wanted to have certain experiences.
I had some science books as a kid, and loved the story of the Nautillus and its journey under the North Pole. And I dug flicks like "Run Silent, Run Deep". So I fell in love with the whole idea of travelling the ocean once in a submarine (yet to be realized).
I had John Glenn's autograpgh as a kid, and grew up watching the Apollo rockets, and watching Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon was an amazing day. I grew up wanting to get into space, just once (yet to be realized).
And I loved all those MGM musicals, especially the "backstage" movies about performers. I loved the sequences where the troupe goes on tour and there's a montage with a speeding train and the names of all the cities they play like "Peoria!" "Witchita!" "St. Louis!" "Chicago!" "Boston!" and then, in giant letters, "BROADWAY!". I always wanted to put my act in a trunk and take it on the road.
Well, that's one dream that worked out pretty damned well.
Aside from that I wanted to be "Advisor to the World". You know, I'd sit in a big house somewhere watching TV and people would come to me and ask me questions like, "Should the Yankees draft so and so?" and "What should we put on after 'The Partridge Family'?" and "This whole Vietnam thing -- think we should end it?" and "Should we put some food in a submarine and take it to all those starving kids in Africa?"
"Yeah, but only if I can drive."
Yep. That's the job for me.

When I was a kid, I was sure that if I just sat down and talked with all the world leaders, we would have peace in no time. Weren't they just missing the simple point that war is bad? I guess that makes me a would-be world activist, turned jaded housewife.
