    I eventually want to study both Architecture and Civil Engineering in University and get my masters in both. I really want to get into architecture for large-scale developments (apartment buildings, shopping complexes, office towers, etc).


    Nice! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I can design the city and you can make it look all purdy.

    There's an amazing book called "What Color is your Parachute" which is about finding a career that you'll enjoy based on your interests, skills, aptitude, etc. Almost any career library should have it, and it's available pretty much worldwide. It's a great book whether you're 15 or 50.

    Well right now I'm a substitute teacher and my original idea was to become a high school teacher but I've changed my mind. I would like to be a professor at a college/university. I'm working on 5 different college degrees right now and then I plan on attending graduate school so I'll see where it goes.

    My first career was computer science, which ended up being in educational technology. My second (according to the current plan) is to become a sociology professor. Grad school here I come!

    I put 'other', because I didn't know if History counted as "Arts".
    So, I want to study History and Archaeology. :grin:

    I always wanted to do something in the arts, it's been my dream for a while. I've been practicing comic book art and mainly Crime Noir, 'cus the gals in that area never fail to look drop-dead gorgeous o_o

    Yet, I always found murder investigations fascinating and I'm taking Forensics next year to look more into that topic, oooh, I can't wait (!)

    I'm in IT. Consulting now, previously in software development. But I studied math and economics in university. It's a great field if you want to move around the world (well not as good as flight attendant :slight_smile:), so I'm taking advantage of that.
