I've just heard on the news that 7 year old are going to get careers advice!
When I was 7 I wanted to be a hairdresser! I used to cut my Doll's hair!
I ended up in an Accountant's office.
What did you want to become when you were 7 Years old?

I can't remember that far back :-(( I just wanted the skin off the rice pudding before my brothers got it, that was my main aim in life.

Not sure how old I was, but it was primary school when I wrote in a composition, ... ( that's what we called essays in those days ) that I wanted to be 'a nurse, not a Sister, just a nurse'.

Fat lot of good I would have been. I hate blood and needles !

Dear Patricia

Hello

My biggest aim at 7 was to reach the handle on our front door!

It was thrilling when the day finally came and I was tall enough to reach!

Best wishes
