You're going to unicorn college and that's final! It's the only way I can get a mounted unicorn head on my mantal piece... I think I said too much.Larenxis said:

At University doing a Law degree so I can one day become a barrister. Ever since year 10 that's what I've wanted to do.... dunno what type of law to specialise in but I have years and years to figure that out.
I'm quite good at languages so I want to be a European journalist. That came out wrong, I am european I just want to work in Europe. I am in the top class for science though, that leaves a lot of career options as well. I had a parents evening thing and most of my teachers said I should work in law. I don't know yet, I'm only 13.
Wow it is actually kind of sad to see how many people don't know what they want to do. I am going to be a social worker. I want to work with dual diagnosis and right now I am attending graduate school.
I'm working through college to get a scholarship. Then applying to stanford, MIT, digipen or UCLA. Hopefully stanford, i went there a few times and it was great i loved it there.
I'm then going to take up courses to get a bach in comp sci & math. Depending on how well i do in my video game internships with a few companies ( if i get them ) i'll then decide if i wanna pursue a career in that field. If i am, i'd get a masters and start working. If not i'll get a PhD in AI and continue doing research ( It's what i've been doing my whole life... sad i know -_- )
Also another variable is physics. I'm pretty good at it but i'm not sure how practical it is for me to pick up a research career in it. I suppose if i get into MIT or Stanford it wouldn't be a problem but oh well who knows.

What I want to do with my life? Enjoy it. And with enjoying it comes exploring it. And exploring it comes with my job as ship-electrician .. So I'm kinda happy =P
And because of that you're probaly smarter than me when it comes to science. Congratulations, Daye.04. You've just been owned by a 13 year old =PVoodoopigs said:
I want to be a piano tuner.
Hey, I made it! Yippee!
Now, someday, I might get dissatisfied with my current profession and try something else. However, if my next endeavor doesn't work out, I can just go back to piano tuning. Self-employment is the ultimate job security (assuming people don't stop playing pianos?)
Someday I'd also like to write a novel. But probably not because I fear my tastes are rather esoteric.
A couple of people have suggested that I should run for city council next year....maybe I'll try that.

Up until about a year ago, I wanted to be a voice actor. However, I learned that voice actors often have to have a second job to support themselves, because there isn't always work available for them.
I then decided I wanted a more consistent job, something that involved me using my voice to make a living.... and attract the womenfolk. I decided to become a radio announcer, as one of my substitute teachers from elementary school a few years back.
After graduating high school, I decided to take a year off to start doing martial arts training. Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts, and Karate soon became my main focus in life. I had a summer job in construction, but I saw that as more of a temporary thing than a lifelong career - I hated the work but the pay was great.
As I trained and sparred with various opponents, I thought to myself "This is what I live for." The self-improvement, the thrill, the challenge - this is what I want to focus on in life. I regretted not taking martial arts earlier in life.
However, I still want to be a radio announcer, and to this end, I have a volunteer job at a TV station that I hope will give me valuable experience that will be useful for my career path. Unfortunately, this job often interferes with my martial arts training.
In 6 months, I'll be going to College for Radio Broadcasting. One of the major deciding factors in choosing my college was the proximity of the college to any martial arts schools. In the end, I decided on a college that is in a town that has horrible winter weather (I live in Canada, and I hate snow), but is close to what seems like an awesome kickboxing school. I had hoped to get into a school that teaches Muay Thai, but Kickboxing is a very close second.
So there you have it. The story of Duck Sandwich, the one who treads the dual paths of the Radio Announcer and the Kickboxer.

I'll start studying Informatics/Software Engineering in Buenos Aires in 2010. I've always known that's what I wanted to do, and it's so perfect for me. Even the studying will be interesting. I love programming, maths, statistitics, physics, logic, cryptology/cryptography and all the other things that are taught when you study that.
I will almost certainly be in real-live-doctor school in the near future.
Sometimes I feel I would rather be an author or focus entirely on playing guitar in a metal band. I will have to see what happens. I have wanted to be in medicine for a long, long time, but I am not sure if I could give up my other hobbies if I didn't have time for them.

I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life at all, but I'm trying to get a degree in Graphic Design. It sounds like a flexible enough degree that would give me a good range of opportunities.
I will become overlord of the universe and kill anyone not willing to join me with my velociraptor army. On the side note these velociraptor have miniguns, laser guns and have Sam fisher style goggles
On a serious note, no I have no idea. I really should I am just about to decide which unniversity I want to go too.

well I'd *like* to be a game dev. Simply because there I can as creative as needed and might even be able to convince game devs to play the freaking games they make. And having great idea' while nice unless you're a game dev you can't do much with them.
Baring that since it doesn't seem likely something involving science. Chemical Engineeering sounds good but it's mostly all up in the air really.

Luckily for me, I'm good, and interested in Physics, Maths and IT, which all go together nicely for a job in physics, and since I'm interested in astronomy, I hope to end up doing a job I'm good at, is paid well, and I enjoy...... Not meaning to brag...
