Jobs you thought sounded glamorous or exciting when you were a kid...
... But now you know better.
I used to think girls who worked at the makeup counters at Macy's had the coolest job ever.

I though Magnum P.I. was pretty pimp. Real job? Not so pimp and lots of boring.
Rambo was pretty pimp, too. I can't mumble enough to actually be Rambo, certainly don't have the accent. And a soldier is something that I greatly respect but could never do. And it's really not glamorous.

This area is under construction as my hair type changed and nothing works well for me. I shampoo, I condition and pretty much have done nothing but chuck my hair in a messy bun for the past oh...year? Yeah, I'm that lazy.
No...going no-poo or CG does not work for me. It leaves me overconditioned and oily in a second no matter what I use, so that's not what's not working.

There were a couple of small and rinky dink theme parks in my area. They were mainly had shows, and carnival rides. One had an Old West theme and I wanted to be a cancan dancer in the saloon show. I thought that would be the most amazing job ever! Little did I know it paid crap, and was anything but glamorous.

^^That's kinda mean of your parents. 
My glamour job as a child was a teacher.
As a teen it was either a journalist or working in book publishing.

I always thought that I'd only "arrive" once I became a waitress.  Or, a receptionist, or a cashier.
I was a receptionist for quite some time, and it was not all it cracked up to be. I'm not a waitress, but I'm close enough to it, and I'm pretty sure I'd hate being one!
However, I tried out cashiering during training at work, and it was THE GREATEST THING EVER! I always find myself wistfully staring at the cashiers at work, like "omg, I wish I was you..." I think I'm the first and last person to do that.

The garbage man! Riding on the back of that truck looked exciting to 4 year old me.

I remember telling someone in kindergarden I wanted to be a farmer and they looked at me funny. In my mind, it would be a very cute farm filled with cuddly animals to play with.
