When I was little I answered this question with "I want to become a cat. They can eat, sleep, chill or play the whole day and have nothing to do.".
Damn... I still want that lol

Same! They're always comfortable and relaxed and have no responsibilities. Sigh...

Farmer, marine biologist, journalist, writer, anthropologist... I don't really want to 'be' anything now, I just want to make money in the least miserable way so I can do the things I'm interested in the rest of the time. As a society we identify so much with our jobs and it doesn't make that much sense to me... Maybe some people do have that dream job where they feel like it's their purpose and they're making a difference, but I think it's also okay just to work because you have to, and that your life doesn't have to be all about your career. I think people have a lot of anxiety about choosing their 'life path' and 'dream job' and 'passion' because of this 'job/career = everything' mindset. When adults asked us this question, we were supposed to name off some occupation. We couldn't just say, "happy." Makes me wonder how much we think our productivity and ability to make money is tied in with our worth.

Well i have to say i do it, i have my first career : Marine Biolologist and my 2nd is Science Teacher. Maybe i dont do documentary but i teach about that in a different way....

That's cool! I was into it because I loved (and still love) whales, but I also get really seasick and the deep ocean is scary lol
