<p>In the following sentences:</p>

<pre><code> 有一天他会当医生
 有一天我会当经理
</code></pre>

<p>what does the <code>当</code> mean? I think this means something like <code>One day she would become a doctor</code>. However, what kind of nuances does <code>当</code> include? Is it <code>would be</code>, <code>would become</code>, <code>possible</code>, or <code>want to</code>, or something others? How probable does the author think the noun after <code>当</code> occur?</p>
