    So what jobs does everyone have or what do you want to do when you leave school?
    Personally i want to take a PHD Astrophysics and computer game programming.
    Unfortuantly the prospect is still rather distant as i am only 16.
    But i did get 97% in my GCSE mock exams :D :D :D.

    I'm off to the military in December, so I've decided to put my education plans on the thinking shelf for a while.

    [​IMG] Well...I'm studying to be a lawyer, so I guess that's what I'm going to be.

    But - If I could be anything, I would go with: Astronaut, NHL Goalie, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or Rock Star.

    [​IMG] When I was in college I wanted to be a lawyer but after working with them for 2 years I totally changed my mind. I don't think I could fight with people all day every day. So I gave up the idea of law school and got me master's instead.

    I work for the government now, but if I had my choice I'd be a historian at some exciting battle site. Just you'd have to pay me atleast 50K a year. No one can live on the lower paid the National Park Serice gives. The other option would be the military. I'd love to be an officer in the army, but my wife would veto that.

    But if I wasn't married that whole rock star thing has a lot of appeal. :D

    There is a big difference between what you want to be and what you are/are going to be.
    I want to be god or emperor of the universe but as that is kinda farfetched i have decided to drift on the waves of life until something fun happens. Im currently reading to be a teacher in hmm history and damn what is it called in english society knowledge??
    I have 3,5 years left and i hope something more interesting pops up before im done.

    Realistically: I want to start a church in downtown Chicago that will reach into the lost, money rich - morally poor yuppie crowd. If possible, I'd like to keep working my sales job for a few more years while starting the church, maybe as a Global Account Manager or as a Data-Global Applications Representative.

    All the while, I want to be the best Dad & husband that I can be.

    Oh yeah, and I don't want to be quite as cheesy as I am now! ;)

    I would like to be a Jedi Master. Failing that, I would settle for my own engineering company.

    Well... right now i work for Otis Elevator, dispatching elevator repair men to all those lost souls stuck in elevators...Also a mother so technically have 2 full time jobs.

    My dream job would be a professional dancer, or in movies.

    Also wouldnt mind working with computers in programming.. however the schooling would cost me way too much :(

    Right now I wouldn't mind *not* being a programmer for a while, get stranded in an elevator with airconditioning (or on a beach if possible :D), "accidentally" destroy my cellphone, bring out a cold beer & play my guitar all day long...

    Hey, maybe I should start a band? I can see it now;
    "...I'm gonna be cruising the coast, drinking my pop. I'll be kissing all the girls, and I'll be singing all the rock..."
    (Any Blake Babies fans around here?? :D)

    I think the heat is somehow having a strange effect on my brain...
