I'm sure some of you have thought about this at some point, probably because you're close to graduating college or high school, or because you just woke up and realized you wasted your life in an office. So what do you want to do with your life, if you could do anything? I'm pretty sure we've had this thread before, but with all the new members...and maybe old members have new motivations as well?

I think I want to open my own business. :3 Either relating to cupcakes and tea, or possibly get into making jewelry. I don't know yet.

I wanted to be a Chef

I also wanted to go into a field of art and/or gaming

I'd be happy if I got a STABLE job not matter how lame. Working in a factory. Working for the government. Anything :C

I took 3 years of high school so far and I've failed english 4 times. My school sucks so it's pretty easy but I'm too lazy. And I get even less motivation when every english teacher I've had since the 7th grade is a young fresh out of college girl who writes something on the board or hands out a sheet and tells us to do it and then suddenly starts talking about their personal life to us. Fuck.

I'm open to suggestions though ;o

I am finishing my studies in Science and then I'll change to Outdoor stuff. Who knows, maybe Guide or something.

I wish to become a Software Development/Advanced Mathematics/Physics professor at some point in time. I've had so many teachers and professors impact my life in such a positive way that I feel I need to do the same to others.

Anything software/computer science related though I would do, if it was offered, but I would prefer the former, as the hours fit into family life (children) later on in years.

Convert to Catholicism and ask God for your vocation.

"God's will, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else."

Or I could sell drugs. I'll probably get into a "beef" with someone and we'll shoot each other up. It will be a glorious battle and I will die in the field with honor.

You could probably look like this.

Now, 100 dollars and some bad blink-blink! And some wooden weapons! That's gangsta!

Back to topic, I actually have no idea and I honestly do not want to ask myself that. The thing is if you cannot find an answer you can get crazy about this shit. And yet I probably could not tell what to do with my life as I'll probably decide differently anyways, therefore it makes even less sense for me to care about this.


As for kame, you know, relesaing your own store or whatever makes you temporarily happy, but in some years you are getting back to the question and you'll be like "I'm wasting my life in my office".
That's how I see it, and that's why I do not think about it too much. I enjoy the now and here, the situations I get in and my family & friends.

I spoke to someone once when I went to New-Hampshire and he told me: "Sometimes it's like trying different kind of cheese. There are just so much out there but once you found the one you like, you know it's the best one and you don't need to try any thing else."

I wish I had some 'blink blink'.

Web development. Not like I'll actually succeed, though. I live with a bunch of idiots who, thanks to my mental disorder and the problems it used to cause, kept me in a sheltered little world and tried to do everything for me instead of just trying to teach me how to be a good person, such that I never learned motivation, independence, or the patience required to understand and apply to the bloated, obfuscated, overcomplicated, legalese-infested sack of shit known as the average American fucking college.

My parents fucking built me, as a malfunctioning robot. They maintained the parts but never bothered to fix their shitty software. Starting thirteen years later and continuing over the course of four years, my friends created me, as a human fucking being -- but an eternity too late.

I want to go into web development, but I'll probably actually end up either homeless, dead, or in a madhouse.

The Amurican dream.

I've heard of that before, actually. On that note, there are a surpising amount of entrepreneurs that start businesses and then sell them. Theres also many people who outsource to contractors or other companies 'office work' such as accounting or legal. I guess it depends on your level of funding, expertise, or your strategy.

The two things I want to do have very different business structures, and definitely different types of risks. If I opened a tea shop, I'd probably invest in management or employees. If I went an artisan route, I don't think I'd hire anyone else, at the very least I'd start alone.
I love the idea of owning my own business, and the level of social responsibility attached to it. A lot could change before I even open shop though Its something I've wanted to do for a while now, so we'll see.

SEN.

Any job I get will just be so that I can have a house, internet, and a godly PC to watch over SEN and play games.

I want to be a feature film or television editor. In the meantime, I've been working my way up on various TV shows as a graphic designer and/or production assistant.

I'd also love to be a game designer. I've been planning a new type of MMO with a friend of mine for years that will never be made, but I'd love to learn how to make it into something eventually. That would be a sweet life goal.

I want to either become an electrical or electronic engineer or be a professional electric guitarist.

I'm getting a Physical Chemistry PhD, while going into diving school. (Skydiving, I got my A license!)

I'm gonna be an astronaut, or if not, I'll blow up stuff and make drugs for science as a research chemist. WITH LASERS!

Yeah, I bought the S3 Spyder Arctic Laser, ahem, I mean a Lightsaber. This has nothing to do with my career, but it may just lock my status as an awesome individual forever.

I fancy myself wanting to be an orchestra conductor when I grow up. I can just imagine the orgasmic feeling of directing an entire symphony of highly talented musicians at the wave of my fingers.

Music producer, which I already am, so if ne1 needs music for their maps let me know, might cost a bit of $ but I will give you the SEN'ly discount. You can see some of my work in Lost City 2009 WINTER MAP MAKING CONTEST WINNER map.

I wish I was a math professor/chef/linguist.
