I don't know if this is the right place for this... So I thought we could have a thread on what people want to do later on in their lives...what do you want to study in college? do you even want to go to college? and what do you want to do with your life in general? goals...? I don't know, all of that.

I AM going to get a career in an english major. Preferably a journalist, or author, but i might teach an english class.

I want to go be a writer/journalist. Be able to make a nice living doing what I love. I don't need mansions or fast 2 million dollar cars. just a comfortable life. I would like to find the girl that is like me. Crazy. strange. with a sense of beauty. I'd like to have a son or daughter that I can be there for. I'd like to live to see the end of this War. I'd like to help people with my writing. Have some recognition but not too much.


Live a nice Good life.


Blessings

well if you go with an english major you can teach or be homless

perhaps journalism?

Me teaching and me being a journalist is quite laughable.

I think I'm actually going to recommend journalism to my sister. She wants to major in english or music. My mom, used to her older daughter who decided on the pre-law path, doesn't feel that these are good options. (Which, I really can't blame her on that one...my sister doesn't want to teach, so it kind of limits what she can do with either of those degrees.)


I really am hating this business certificate at the moment. Accounting will be the death of me...just you wait.

Ikki do you have any idea of what you might do for a major?

English, Sociology, Life...

The next question is: What the (insert the four letter expletive of your choice here) am I going to do for a job?

Maybe I should look into some typing courses because clearly I suck.

Take out the first not and then it makes sense.

College-wise I have been hoping one going to a college in either Boston (BU), Chicago, or Colorado. I would be happy though with anywhere out side of California and not definitely not Georgia.

I almost applied to Boston University, or Boston College, I'm not sure which now:s Where I did apply is a college in California! The opposite of you lol


Ikki do you have any idea of what you might do for a major?

Because I have nothing better to do I will actually think about this for a while.

I think a career in Art Therapy would be very interesting. Probably because I have had my share of horrible therapists and I hope that maybe I could be a better one.

Other than that I don't know of anything else. Maybe something to do with History since I find it very interesting.

I really want to visit Auschwitz. Seeing other concentration camps would be cool to. WWII and more specifically the totalitarians of Europe and the Holocaust is fascinating to me.

I don't I'm a senior in HS so I need to make w/ the basic decisions, and I'm 17 years old w/ a projected life span of 75 years and I have yet to climb Denali, Everest and Ranier so I don't have a lot of time

and, we all have plently of time...:-)

I don't. I'm a second semester Freshman. In a year, I have to know my major, which gives some inkling that I know what I want to do with my life.

Besides, life's short and we never have as much time as we think we do.

That's okay, neither do I! and, we all have plently of time...:-)

Meh...I don't know what I want to do. I have absolutely no idea where I'm going in life.

I thought about that as well but I think you learn not to, as well as with other people.

-Graduate from UDM with a degree in Political Science and certificates in Legal Studies, Business Administration and Spanish

-Get into, go to and graduate from law school

-Whatever my heart desires

I want to be a writer. My dream job would be to write screenplays (since all the stories I come up with have pre-planned soundtracks), but being a novelist or a columnist would kick ass. I hope it works out.

I want to become a Teacher Assistant.

Why not a teacher?

Because I want to work with kids one on one.

I like Ikki's(same here).
I want to find something to study that I find somewhat interesting, and then find some kind of job that I can deal with doing for "the rest of my life"(ok not really but that's what it is practically, so a job that is not going to drive me insane), maybe become a psychologist...I don't know really. Everything is up in the air.

Get into a college thats not in CA.
