What's your future career?

Hello, I've been thinking about my future on what I want to be. I'm a sophmore in high school with a 3.6 gpa (I slacked off in 9th grade) and I can't find myself on what I want to be. I've been thinking about being a pharmasict because of there high pay but the 6 years of college seems too long. So I want to see what your going to do with your life. Any tips & advice would be great.

studying a bsc in music technology, i want a career in sound design for video games.

Have no idea. Maybe journalism.>.>

I'll be standing in a freezing cold room in front of a bunch of delinquent brats, charged with the impossible task of ensuring their futures as functioning men and women of society.

I'm gonna be a teacher.

I'm 22, Retired, and I dropped out of highschool. But yet i was successful enough to retire and never have to work anotehr day in my life at the age of 19. :D

Computer Software Engineer or something involving computer. Hardware would be nice too, but I heard it's a ***** to get a job at Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and ATI.

So far i've taken AP Comp Sci 1 and 2, already signed up to take Comp Sci 3 next year.

And I sprouted wings out of my butt and flew.:|

I'm nearly done four years of university and still have no idea. I'd like to get into working for a public/university library at the moment and then either get into "library science" after that or go back for a B.Ed and become a teacher.

Professional OTer.

FBI or DEA agent.

Washing windscreens of flying cars.

Less than two years of university to go for me until I become a fully fledged game developer =)

I'm 30, and an officer in the Marine Corps. I've got at least another 9 years until retirement. But, after this I'm looking to get into federal law enforcement or private security. Then again, I'll probably change my mind a few times by the time I get out.bt_the_great_78

Im currently 22, but when I was 21, I applied for a State Police job twice. Both times I made it past the written tests but fumbled at the interview. The second time around they told me that I had potential but that I was very young and needed some life experience. So after some hard thinking Ive decided to enlist in the Coast Guard and join up with their Maritime Enforcement. After I get out, Im considering either the State Police again or a Federal Law Enforcement.

en...I have no idea...

celebrity chef. :D

I'm going to major in computer science. :)

Sometimes it takes a long time to "find yourself." For the longest time, I kept flip flopping between things that I liked and things that I felt would make good careers. For a while I considered being a doctor or a surgeon only because I felt it was a good career and because I had a slight interest in medicine.

Finally about five months ago it hit me that I should do something in computers. I don't know why it took me my whole life to realize that, but it did. I've always been way into computers. I can't remember a time that I didn't have one to use all the time. I've had my very own personal computer since I was eight years old.

Don't worry if you don't know by the time you get to college. Tons of people change their majors, and you can use your first year or two there to experiment and figure out what's for you. :)

I am going to be a history teacher

I HOPE to be an Invester.

Structural Welder.

I'm in my first year of Ceramic Engineering and I really like it so far.

Worked 15 years as a teacher and recently binned it all and went back to school. I'm now working as an engineer at a water treatment/distribution plant. Pretty good gig. Good pay, regular hours, good benefits, overtime if I want it, no hassles if I don't and I don't ever have to deal with the public.

Wow, I never thought about that. I guess they think of it as teaching an old dog new tricks?

When I was talking to a Trooper before my Interview/Situational Judement Scenarios, they asked what I had done to prepare for it and one of the things I mentioned was that I did a ride along with my uncle who is a City Police Officer. They said that it was good, but dont let my uncle's agency's policies and procedures heavily influence my answers to the scenarios because each group does things differently.

But anway, the sole reason for me joining the Coast Guard is so that I do get structured discipline and experience before going for a civillian law enforcement career. Going from retail to be a cop is pretty much a quantum leap. :P

I'm in my early 20's and I still don't know. I like to paint alot, and I have 2d animation in mind, but that's more like a passion project. Who knows though, maybe it will blossom!
