Besides common occupations such as doctor, nurse, teacher, policeman, fireman, mail man, cook, waiter, etc., how to express some unusual occupations in English? For example, full-time housewife? office clerk?? When Chinese kids were asked what do you want to be when you grow up, the most common answers are teacher, doctor, nurse ... just curious to know the likely answers of children in different cultures..

well, my son said when he grew up, he will work in a submarine factory, and be a tank driver, and a racing car driver. the list goes on....

Thanks.. It looks like boys and girls are really different....

Hair dresser, Princess, ballerina, movie star, singer, Barbie designer...She's full of dreams....

Modest, why not CEO?.

she is just very realistic, she knows her dream will only become true when her father or mother becomes the CEO..

"gourmet" ？ Thanks a lot~.

Realistic persons are easier to get a real happy life. Best wishes!.
