I aim to be a Video Game Producer! I'm slowly getting there, one step at a time!
I aspire to be a website designer as well as a video game programmer. In the meantime of getting there, I might go into different fields of IT.
Pretty sure both of you will get there soon
For a while I've been decided on teaching English in developing countries, and I'm particularly interested in Africa. One of the books I have to read over the summer is about the plight of women worldwide, particularly in third world nations, and the chapter I read today was about a woman doing humanitarian work in eastern DR Congo, one of the regions in which I am most interested . The appendix of the book specifically lists organizations based in Congo and even a university in the city of Goma where Americans can study abroad with Congolese students. Maybe I'll have to look into some of this.
That's basically becoming a superhero.
Go for it!
For my entire life I was told to that I should think about what I wanted to do with my life, and for the longest time I avoided the question. By the time I was 12 I couldn't take the constant questioning on my plans for my future so I made stuff up saying I wanted to be a ballerina or fireman generic stuff for my stereotypical white family, but it wasn't what I wanted. But then one teacher I had in high school said to me that "If you didn't love what you do then fight for what makes you happy." And so I dreamed about going into game design for a while, but I began to stray more towards the more general computers so now I plan to be a computer software engineer. I realized that I wanted to build the things that make me happy. And that includes gaming consoles and computers. Maybe someday I'll change the face of gaming or even the world. Who knows?
Same story. People kept asking so at first, until the age of 8 or something my answer was 'palaeontologist' (person that digs up dinosaurs) but then I started thinking about having to lie down in the desert heat and it also wasn't a very socially accepted answer so I switched to saying 'fashion designer'. Ugh, you really shouldn't ask kids such questions, how are we to know?
Aiming towards getting into Medical School. In the future I wish to be an Endocrinologist (look it up lol). I got the inspiration to pursue this career from my dad, who suffers from diabetes. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to be this, although I didnt even have a clue about what it was lol. Later on I learned a little more about the endocrine system, and it just happened to be interesting to me. So right now I am volunteering at hospitols to get used to the aspect and setting of a hospitol, and to build my resume. Well, thats about it
Seems like great aspirations, hope you find a cure.
I want to be a librarian. I know it's not something a lot of people say they want to be and it doesn't have incredibly amazing pay or anything, but I think it would suit me. I've been leaning back and fourth between being a children's librarian or a different kind, but the general idea of being a librarian is there. I love library environments, if I become a children's one I do enjoy working with children, I love helping people out in general, and many of the other aspects appeal to me. I am doing a co-op at my local library this coming fall to learn more about the career path.
Books! Books are awesome! Though I'd never think I'd hear someone say they wanted to be a librarian. You got your own smiley btw -->
As a kid growing up, I too wanted to be a 3D graphic designer, but as time went on, and things started to become more realistic, I began to realize that it wasn't really for me. Right now, I'm taking Information Technology, but it's definitely not what I want to be doing in the future. I aspire to become a pastry chef, or even a pie maker, and open my own cafe/pastry shop in the Philippines. Being a bit of a dreamer here, but I really do hope it pans out.. xD
Pfff...careful what you wish for! The catering industry is hard work. It's a lot of fun to make pastries and stuff every day but you have to wake at weird hours to get everything ready in time.

Now, for me? I don't really know yet. I know stuff I
absolutely don't want to do, like doctor (of any kind) since it involves working with hurt people every day, or military, since the soldiers I know were royally f***ed up at the end of their career and the whole idea of military is against my ideas and ideals
(aaaand the fact that if someone shouts commands at me I'm much more likely to shout back than to obey ) or the hospitality industry.
So if I dream big I'd say I got a couple hopes/goals for the future:
-Become a published writer
-Become rich enough to build a self-sustaining moonbase (yes I am serious) then live there
-Travel to all the countries in the world (I have seen over 30 countries already, I'll get there)
-Develop a game
-Build schools in developing countries
-Top politics, I'm a pretty good debater but then again, I can't stand dumb crowds so perhaps this isn't for me
-etc. I'm a dreamer so except for the above I got a lot of different dreams too.
As for a job description I'd say a creative job that allows me to travel a lot, one with little management layers above me, that pays well enough to allow me holidays in foreign countries. I wouldn't mind having to talk with people a lot as long as they got some brains, and I wouldn't mind conferences and dinner parties either so I guess that would bring me to a job at the higher management layers of a relatively big company. And that's pretty vague.
The only problem is that I'll have to pick a university and a study 1-2 year(s) from now so I'll need to find out pretty quick. Currently I'm thinking about neuropsychology (which is a combination of neurology and psychology) but I'm open fo suggestions.
