In our HS Year Book as a senior we each had a few sentences about our future life:
Mine went something like this:
Become a Pediatrician, married by 25 and have 3 kids. Eat Big Macs till I die.
yeah that didn't work out.
I became an Env Analyst, married at 29 and had 2 kids! I do still like Big Macs 
Did your life turn out the way you thought it would?

@Mamaof2: that's awesome! I wish we had done that!
I didn't have an age for marriage but I thought I would star in Riverdance, open my own dance studio and have four sons! Nope, nope, and 1 son so far!

I was supposed to be an Architect living on the beach in San Diego with a shiny Corvette and 4 little girls.
Now I work in Construction in the Midwest with a mommy-car and (almost) 2 little girls.
So, things changed a little... haha

Fun! I was convinced I'd move to New York or Chicago after getting a fashion merchandising degree and make it big in the fashion world. Really, really, disliked children and didn't plan on having any.
I work at a bio lab, and have a LO on the way! Things definitely didn't turn out like that, but I'm very happy.

Yes and no. My dream was to a licensed architect and have my first child before 30. I had my my first before 30 but I'm not licensed. But I have also realized kids and my family is more important. So the more important of of the two two was realized.

My high school plan was to work my butt off and get into a very specific college in the Boston area. So, yeah, that worked out, lol.

I don't remember what I wanted in HS, but in college I for sure thought I'd be married by 24 and done having kids by 30 haha! And I'm pretty sure I wanted to work at the zoo and then I realized I sucked at science lol.

I wanted to work in publishing as an editor and live in a ridiculously cool loft in Seattle with a foreign born boyfriend. Pretty sure he would have had a lip ring.
Instead...I am a newly pregnant teacher married to a teacher and I live in one of the dullest parts of California.

I thought I'd be a psychologist and be married with several kids.
Instead, I'm an interior designer and married with one kid (and hopefully more one day soon).

I think i planned to live in a big city and be in advertising. I live in a tiny Podunk town and I work in event planning (with a degree in psychology, so no where near advertising!). I do travel to big cities for work though, so that kinda counts

I had no clue and was latching on to the dreams of my friends, who mostly wanted to be music teachers. And the boy I had a crush on dreamt of living in the Berkshires. So if you'd asked me I would have said I'd be a teacher in New England with a few babies by 30.
That didn't happen, but luckily I found my own dreams and have pursued them with reasonable success. Still in progress!

My dream was to be a licensed psychologist before the age of 30. It came true exactly one month before I turned 30! I also expected to be married and have kids by that time, and that turned out to be mostly true (a DH + one kid as opposed to kids).

My plan was to be a high school English teacher who graduated from a good state school I wanted to go to, married to my high school sweetheart when he graduated law school (around 25) and have 3 kids with him.
I went to community college and found out I didn't even like teaching. I have a career in tourism at age 23. My high school sweetheart is a bum who doesn't even have a job NOW. I married my husband at age 20 and had my first child at age 22. Lol

I think I wanted to be a nurse, PA or a doctor. Get married around 25-ish and kids soon after.
IRL, I went to school was planning on switching to pre-med, but I stayed in Biology and graduated with that. Got an internship at pharmaceutical company and have been doing research ever since. I actually don't know if I would be happy in the medical field. I like my flexible hours and holidays and weekend off. Got married at 26 but still working on that baby thing at the age of 30. Most of my life was planned and worked out until the baby making part threw a wrench into my plans.
