    I want to study medicine. At the moment, I think its too soon to say what I'd like to specialise in, but I really like emergency medicine, cardiology and endocrinology.

    I'd like to be a Librarian, or own my own Tea salon.

    Barring that perhaps author, or build computers/program software.

    I want to do something with technical theatre. I'm also interested in curating or being a high school counsellor.

    I hope I can be a musician in a symphony some day. It won't happen until I'm in my 30's probably due to some...stuff going on in life, but I feel that I can do it one day.

    I have no idea, I'll decide when I'm a grownup.

    Seriously though, I plan to work in environmental health in some respect.

    I'm still young and I know I don't have much of a chance in the future, but I really want to get into a job dealing with the arts. I sort of want to get into the music industry- which I know that there's not a large chance of doing- as an electric guitar player, but as sort of a back-up plan I know I'm good with soundboards, so I might like getting some sort of job that includes the management of concerts or recording.

    My second life path or desired job is being a writer or pursuing a job dealing with literature. I've gotten tons of compliments for my writings and I've even begun to win money and contests for some of my works and papers. I always have tons of ideas for characters, storylines, and novels floating around in my head, so I would love to get some of my writings published in the future and maybe make my living being an author.

    I know both careers I have few chances of getting fully into, but I think I can do it if I really set myself to it. The problem is that I have limited motivation, I can't keep to plans or things I plan on doing, and I don't have much money (like I haven't even been able to buy an electric guitar yet- I've been practicing on acoustic but I honestly don't like it as much as electric, and therefore haven't been practicing too much :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: ). Also, there's the fact that most of my family and teachers think that I should go into or pursue a different career path because I'm so advanced and have high test scores in both math and science. They think I would make a good engineer, scientist, or lawyer :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    My dream used to be being a bassist in a band with my sister. Now I really want to do something in the medical field, like become an ultrasound technician or something.

    Funny, I wanted to do anesthesiology when I was younger.
    I basically have two scenarios...

    ~After about the next two years, I will begin publishing my novels, and if they were to do exceptionally well than I would continue to get my degrees simply out of interest.

    However, assuming that doesnt happen...

    ~I will have my undergrad, of course.(4 years). Then I will go to graduate school for my Phd in Psychology and _______ in Neurosciences.(How high I go into that will depend on how time consuming my Phd will be.)..(4 years). Then I will finish with med school(4). So ultimately we are looking at 12 years. But I love psychology. My salary would be extremely high and I would be fully incharge of my hours/workload. This way I would have enough time to continue my career in writing.

    Though honestly, I would be a little disappointed if I didnt get anywhere with my writing. I still want my degrees/Phd, but I would rather have most of my focus as a novelist.

    I'm a hollywood screenwriter.

    Job I want to pursue - modern figurehead for revitalizing Santa Claus, a modern day L. Frank Baum and Thomas Nast if you will. It's the one project that matters the most to me since I can see it as a major way to give back to society by offering hope to children, instilling a strong moral fiber in the following generations through the project, and giving a lot if not most of the money to charitable organizations that further help children. As stated in the project, "I'm not a saint, I'm just a man and it's important that the world knows that." I just want to live up to that as much as humanly possible.

    That's really cool! My cousin went to study Mua Tai in Thalian for six months...that was almost 4 years ago, and he's still there! He trains in exchange for being the fight photographer.

    I am a vet tech. My work is crazy and hard and emotional and exhausting...and I would never want to do anything else. I am aiming so specialize in surgery at some point.

    I want to study in a field that involves Literature.
    Or possibly, Psychology.
    God gave me a gift for Music so maybe I could go for a music career and make a living out of it.
    But I expect I would take Medical Technology or something in a medical field.
    I DON'T KNOW.
