    dd8 - changes daily but typically it is in the arts field and over 75% of the time it involves "...working at Pixar."
    For example, animator at Pixar, storyboard artist at Pixar, writer for Pixar, background artist at Pixar..
    She likes the idea of riding her scooter around, the cereal bar and the themed offices that they have.
    This week, she's into fashion design (not at Pixar).

    I think she needs to find a mentor at Pixar! FWIW I have a paper written in my head about Dabrowski's TPD in the Pixar movies! Love all of them.

    DD7 told us what she wanted to be when she grew up when she was:

    3 - a butterfly, a ballerina, and a mermaid
    5 - a cashier at Walmart (who lives in a box)
    7 - a teacher

    She's trending up the economic ladder, so that's good.

    Hee hee. Don't I know it. You'll have to share your paper when you get it "on paper." : )

    We love Pixar, here. We spend a lot of time watching the bonus features, if you can't tell.

    DS8 has wanted to be an archeologist or paleontologist since he was 5. He also wants to go to University of Chicago for grad school because that is where Indiana Jones went. I suspect his choice may waiver when he finally realizes he won't get to be Indy.

    Our daughter wanted to be a National Park Ranger for many years. Now, at 14, she wants to be a Dermatologist. She loves watching those "gross" videos on YouTube of people popping pimples. Oh well, someone has to do it.

    Dd13's career goals starting at age three have gone from: underwater photographer of sirenians (manatees and relatives), marine biologist with a specialty in sirenians, marine mammologist with a specialty in sirenians, tide pool biologist (she is now finding that she likes the weather in the pacific North-west better than FL and tells me that she knows "everything" there is to be known about manatees).

    Dd11 has been leaning toward Hollywood make-up artistry for a bit now.

    DS(3y): a driver, then a blacksmith, now a publisher.

    Me: an archaeologist, but I'll go back to drawing if that fails wink



    DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
    DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!
