In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

One of Jacques Cousteau's grown-up kids so I could be on their team of underwater explorers, then I was going to marry Jane Goodall's son and work with her (apparently my wee understanding of life had advanced to this as a way of acquiring a scientist parent but not yet understanding I could do it on my own). Then it was simply "move to Canada", no occupation specified. Age 12, I was back to primates and set on studying communication in monkeys or apes or another animal altogether because Penny was already doing that with Koko the gorilla. Somewhere in there was astronomy because Cosmos. I really liked science television because it showed me so many new and different things.
None of this worked out of course.
