David: I want to be a football player because I like football. I could score nets. I could earn a lot of money and I could pay for stuff. I would buy sweeties. I would want to play for Rangers and I would be a goalkeeper.
Aimee: I would like to be a chef, because they get lots of money.
David: Chefs don’t get money! They just make stuff.
Aimee: You still get wages. Like the chef on The One Show.
Corey: I want to be a vet
David: What did you say?
Corey: A vet. To make animals better.
David: You can’t make animals better. Say that you would get loads of money.
Aimee: Yes, you can - hamsters and that.
Corey: I think you could make pets better and give them medicine.
Aimee: When they have a sore leg or sore feet.
David: Or food! It’s good for them and that will make them better. Or a drink.
Corey: What about keeping pets healthy?
Mike: I don’t know what I want to be yet.
Calum: I want to be a train driver. Usually, I like to give people a ride. You would get to travel around. I think I know about some train drivers, but I don’t know any, actually. When there is a danger I could stop the train.
David: I would go very fast.
Mike: You would crash off the bridge.
Calum: I would be on tracks.
Corey: Being a bus driver would be really boring. All you do is drive people.
Calum: That is what you do on the train.
Aimee: Yes, but you could make the train go and everything and that is important. I think being a teacher would be boring.
David: Yes, that would be really boring.
Calum: That is because you just have to teach lots of people what they’ve got to do and that is dead boring.
David: No, because teachers tell you what to do and that is actually boring.
Corey: And rude people, you have to shout at them. When it was golden time, the teacher has to scream at us.
Calum: Teaching is all you get to do all day.
David: It is dead boring.
