Friday Funday! If you could go back to grade school, what would you want to be when you grow up?

[Anonymous]

It's that time of year, kids are going back to school. So this Friday Funday I thought it was appropriate to give you the opportunity to go back in time for a minute, and think about what you want to be 'when you grow up'. Facebook is filled with pictures of all the kids on their first day, so it's your turn (with or without the photo)...what would you want to be when you grown up if you were in grade school now?

A fireman/woman?
A Veterinarian?
The CEO of a successful Marketing Automation Company?
The host of your own TV show?

I'd come back as musician for sure! Traveling the world and playing music is the life I'd choose!

I love cycling - what about taking photos for Google maps?

I've always wanted to be a performer. Being a rock star never worked out, but there's still time to act. #procrastination

I would like to be a Sports Star, probably a Tennis player, winning grand slams & traveling around the world 🙂

When I was younger, I always said I would either be a Journalist or a Fashion Designer. But knowing what I know now, I'd say I'd want to be a chef because I'm really passionate about food- eating and making it. 🙂 Like Rachel Ray, but I'd be way less annoying for sure!

@Heather -- that is hilarious. Turns out I was shooting a little lower...I REALLY wanted to be the person who bagged the groceries, it looked like so much fun!  We would have made a great team...(we do)

My parents are stoked Mkto worked out I think.

When I was a kid, I REALLY wanted to be the scanner at the grocery store.  For some reason rolling cans over a bid red X while hearing the beep of the register seemed so satisfying.  🙂

Now - I'd say a yoga instructor on the beaches of Costa Rica!

Pro-Athlete all the way!  I'd be an Olympic Equestrian like Beezie Madden and Laura Kraut!



or I also think I'd be a great ER nurse.  🙂

@Jeff I completely agree, pro athlete would have been a very close second to musician! However since they took softball out of the olympics, I guess that dream was crushed regardless of my ability! (that's what I tell myself).

I would have dedicated myself more to baseball and ridden that passion to the pros. Seeing my name on a Giants uniform would have been the best!

I would become a robot designer and make things like this:

@Liz how did you know?  They're a great bunch, and I do learn a thing or two from the youngers ones.  @Delinda, I want a thingamajigger and thing one and thing two.  @charlie I fell off my seat when I read this bit: "would look like Yao's toddler child if I stood next to him."

I wanted to be an astronaut, then a pro basketball player. Unfortunately, I get motion sickness and would look like Yao's toddler child if I stood next to him.

If I could go back, I'd probably want to be a banker, work on Wall Street, and underwrite cool IPOs (ahem MKTO).

@Delinda that is a good one! I'll be sure to hold a spot during Summit for your to do a few readings.
@Jenny I'm in...50/50?
@Michelle sometimes at work I bet it feels like you are a preschool teacher!

Keep these coming!

Ugh I can't believe I'm going to say this, a Preschool teacher. But no diaper duty! And I have to live way, way below my means.

You'd make a great musician, Liz. You're already a rockstar! I used to tell people I wanted to be Dr. Seuss.

I'd be a lottery winner - either the Powerball or Mega Millions!
