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.
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.
