For me, I was told could be a teacher. But I hate grading papers. But in today’s world, I do a lot of mentoring and coaching - unofficially. :)
Knew in high school after going to a business camp (lol) that I wanted to be in marketing. Majored in marketing and have spent my whole career in marketing so far (but have hopped around to diff areas of marketing and in diff industries).
My 10-year-old self wanted to be a marine biologist. My 20-year-old self wanted to be in finance. My 30-year-old self actually works in finance and thinks I made a huge mistake. So no, this isn't what I figured I would be doing, but I make decent money and have a reasonable amount of WLB, so I've got no room to complain.
My high school/college self would think it was a body-snatcher situation!!
Animal science degree, wore jeans and boots to work outside every day.
Now I’m inside wearing dresses every day, sitting in a comfy office chair with a space heater…

I think the comfy office chair and space heater has me sold. :)
Oh God, no not at all. I did not see myself in finance. I didn’t necessarily see myself in the business world at all. I wanted to be a vet or a marine biologist. You can say things didn’t work out for me in that respect.
