 What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up?

Toronto, August 28, 2007 – It's the age-old question and one that many Canadian adults might want to ask themselves as the back-to-school season is upon us: what do you want to be when you grow up? For most, childhood dreams and ambitions haven't come true. According to the Workopolis "When I Grow Up" poll, 82 per cent of Canadian adults aren't doing what they dreamt of when they were younger.

I wanted to do something with politics and if that didn't work out, something that involved maps and building.

over the years, each summer, I have high school and university interns working for me who were interested in becoming engineers.  Some college interns even worked yearlong under a cooperative plan while still in school.  I am always amazed by how focus they were in achieving their career goals, especially the ones who were still in high school.

[Sportsdude]

that's good, we need more engineers.

I could never decide what I wanted to be.  Heck, I'm middle aged and still undecided.

Lil Me ?  Don't make me come over there.

  YOU are NOT middle aged.  (Why I oughta)

  When I was young, I always wanted to be a 'grown-up' when I grew up.  I'm still working on it....and I think I'm making progress, but only time will tell.  I won't quit though.....I think I'm going to have this down pat within the next few years.  A good friend summed it up by saying, "thank god I've managed to stay immature".  These are my thoughts too.

  *I think young people today are more 'in tune' with their future goals.  Or maybe it's just that the goals have changed.  When I was a kid, we wanted to be things like ballerinas, or cowboys.....GAWWWD.....I just realized I might be old.   [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a090.gif" border=0]

We're not old. We're "Loaded with Life Experience". I don't care that my birth certificate came on a clay tablet, I'm not old.

Hey, you kids- get off of my lawn!!
