Just out of curisoity, what do you guys want to be when you "grow up" ? You know what i mean, even if you are already all grown up. And if your in college or university, what are you striving to be ? And im talking career here, not job. in other words, something you want to do because you'd enjoy it and you wouldn't consider it a job, more like something you do that you like, yet you get paid !

I've always been really interested in becoming a dog trainer (either for the handicaped or house dogs), marine biologist, or zoo keeper but mostly a dog trainer. I can begin to persue my interest in dog training as soon as im out of high school but i'v just been debaiting whether or not it would truley be worth it in the long run (income wise) and although i indeed do LOVE animals, it just may be too risky. What are some other options i can look towards and has anyone had any experience volunteering at the SPCA or any animal shelter for that matter? by the way, I've found an animal obedience college that will teach you to become a professional dog trainer for only about $3,000 which is really quite affordable ! but how much income will i make anually? ..

by the way, sorry if this is a re-post!

I am already a full time worker, but I don't exactly like my job. I always wanted to be an architect. Hopefully one day I'll go back to school so I can become one... for now I'm a drafter.

I've always wanted to get in to art since I was young, not the computer animation snazz but drawing and painting. But drawing portraits at Stanley Park don't make enough money to live on. haha

i think it would be interesting to being a logistics consultant/manager or perhaps something in retail merchandising.. both of which are completely different from what i'm currently pursuing/doing - becoming an accountant

maybe one day..

Early Childhood Education worker or a cosmetologist

Currently doing Dental Assisting and will be going into Dental Hygiene :)

i want to become an accountant ( or something along the lines of that ). i've also considered being an architect but unfortunately i just dont have the qualities/talents needed for that.

I don't even know yet. Im only in my first year, and im focusing on Sociology. Still have to decide what to do with a BA in Sociology. =/

hair colorist?

hmm i dont know what i want to be. people from ubc and sfu came to my school today to give presentations. at the moment i'm interested in going into marketing and a bit of like human studies or whatever. i'm also interested in criminology and taking a bit of health sciences to go along with it.

i want a career in something like fashion(designer),make up atrist,or hair stylist.

i want to be an accountant and do finance something along those lines

i want to work in a hospital. i do first aid stuff as part of st john ambulance and loving it right now^^

Great question! To be honest I never planned on being a business owner/wedding & event planner -but I am doing it and I love every moment of it...Well almost! Sometimes this job can be challenging and it isn't as easy & glamorous as most people think, Thanks to the movies! However I was born entrepreneur and always knew I would eventually run my own company. In addition to that I am a very creative & artistic person. I often wondered what I would become but never thought it would be what I am now. When I started in this industry there was no course or book on how to become a wedding/event planner, everything I know is through experience...Eight years worth to be exact! I think although these courses provide some insight on the industry it really does not prepare you for the real thing...and the real thing means getting out there and actually doing an event.
