some people are in jobs now that they never thought they would be in when they were growing up.i wanted to join the police force and from the age of five to 16 was intending to do that but it wasn't to be.what did you really want to do in your career?

Hi, I wanted to teach from the age of 4. When I was around 16 I decided I wanted to teach drama. And that's what I do. Gwynne

Can't remember what I wanted to be cos I'm getting on a bit now - LOL! But the school I went to encouraged us to get office jobs and that's what I did. Suppose they were right as I've stayed in office work and am now a manager so it's worked out for me. Lynne
