For all those who aren't allready in college or university: what do you want to do when you get older?

I had always thought of getting into law, but after going through the system, and realising how painfully boring it really is, I've decided to scrap that. I've decided to go into music production, mainly electronic. Ryersons in Toronto, a big arts school, has I think a music production program, so I will surely be applying next year.

Now you.

[Eugine]

Currently studying Geology but Environmental Science, Geography and International Affairs are all on my agenda.
I'll figure it out soon ^.^
Beauty is the first 2 majors are related, so I can double major or something, but I dunno xP.
And, for some reason I think I am destined to go into politics, so there goes International Affairs. The electives I took relating International Affairs were very interesting, so more powa to IA?

[Drizzy Drake]

Poilitcs eh? YOu do realise that the second you make that move into politics, you will be shaking hands with the devil?

[Toasty]

I want to save the ****ing world. Like Superman.

[Someone Else]

I want to be a fireman in space.

But I don't that will happen, so photography will do.

[Toasty]

Is that an attempt to make fun of my dream? D:

MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD A DREAM TOO! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT CAME TRUE!

....and then he died.

[Eugine]

This isn't the common room btw. tyvm.

[Toasty]

I think I made that very clear, Eugine. I obviously want to save the world like Superman, and I was obviously defending myself in my second post.

[Gio]

I want to go into something that I can use History. Particularly American History. I find it very interesting. Maybe something to do with politics probably just State or city level politics though. Nothing to big.

[Lightning Star]

Y'know, it's funny, 'cause I've been thinking that if I don't become a doctor, I want to do the same thing. The American Revolution fascinates me to no end.

[Gio]

That's definitely awesome. I don't feel like some history nerd now.

[Lightning Star]

Nah, well at least I find US history really interesting. It plays a big part in the way our (United States) government is today. I'm currently taking a summer semester for US Government-- our school requires just half a year, so I figured I'd get it over with in 12 days. But at least the material is interesting (Even if the teacher makes it seem boring XD)

I think that's where I'll end up.. Or perhaps some sort of design/art at least..

Take it from someone who's long since taken classes in global, European, and US history - the American Revolution (and US history in general) is probably the most uninspiring, decrepit, boring mess of events ever (or for the cynics, read this as US history is !@#$ing @#$% *** @#$% @#$%^&). My AP Euro class was far, far more interesting, and my advice is to open your minds up and realize that history != Declaration of Independence, and that the world != USA.

That rant being done, I'm currently a Math major with an intent to double in either Biology or Linguistics, not sure which,

What I want to do, I still am not sure.

[Drizzy Drake]

My parents have always said do something you enjoy, so that's what I'm doing. I might not get the best money, but I'll atleast enjoy what I do.

[Saturos S.]

No idea what I'm going to do. Got to choose a bachelor in two year, so it should be about time I got one.

There are loads of things that seem to be fun to study, but just for a while. I havn't really found something I want to do when I 'grow up.'

If all fails, I'll just go for med school.

[Toasty]

I want to start a buisness and have it grow into a multi-billion dollar corporation. And still actually have good customer service (including people you can understand).

I have also taken a world history class myself, going deep into events into european history, and I found it to be dull. It's not because I'm a "right wing, nationalist pig" as WD so lovingly referred to me as, but because simply I find it to be more interesting. Obviously I know that history doesn't revolve around the declaration of independence, and I know the US is not the world. And for the record, I'm sick of people saying I'm closed minded because I don't agree with them.

Oh, but of course, take note-- That's just my opinion.

[kate]

and she said it in italics so you know she means business XD

snookums, you've gotta go with bio, it's teh sex. I'm becoming a vet, I think you all knew that <.<

Gonna go to new zealand and save me some sheep!

[Saturos S.]

...yeah, I want to be an teen gynaecologist.

[kate]

yeeeah have fun with that. If you want the female anatomy to become completely disgusting to you, that's a good job to get into.

I suggest becoming a boob inspector n.n

[Saturos S.]

Though a medical study would be okay. I can see myself helping people as a doctor in a hospital, not the doctor who sucks fat from people who eat too much, but the lifesaver doctor.

Something that'll make me feel good at the end of the day. Though I guess the pay/study ratio kind of sucks.

[kate]

yeah the only downside of that is that you lose alot of people too, which is depressing. Then again I probably shouldn't use scrubs as my guide.

Beats Canadian history. It's like American but without the interesting parts.

[kate]

JEALOUS BECAUSE WE BURNED DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE MUCH?

jkjk, it does indeed suck. European history pwns american beyond belief though. Napoleon. That's enough proof

I want to do that part-time. And take pictures 'cause, ya know, photography.

[kate]

@Nyktos: well...**** XD

personally I like how until I entered IB we were taught everything about history from a canadian perspective. Canada's involvement in the world wars? Not too important. But damn did they try and make it seem like it was.

@wd: you probably don't even need any training. Well, you might :P

[Someone Else]

And just for the record, not that it contributes anything, but I find European history awesome and American history indeed, a bit dull. And racist and terrible. *whistles*

Very true. Even my history teacher admitted it was BS.

[Toasty]

American history is kinda boring imo aswell. And that's comming from an AMERICAN!! **** YEAH!!!

I'm taking modern european history next year.

[kate]

...modern history?

[Lightning Star]

I guess I do have a little bias though. Two of my ancestors were signers of the Declaration of Independence, though I had already developed an interest in the colonial period before I knew this.

[kate]

One of my ancestors was the right hand man of william the conquerer. Another was God.

lol I dunno I've never really studied american history too in depth, maybe I'm missing something =/

[Toasty]

kate, on Jun 24 2008, 05:06 PM, said:

I'm thinking it's about more recent history, like 1950's and later, or something.

[Saturos S.]

European history > The rest of the world's history

[Zeypher]

I honestly have no idea...I should really start thinking about that though...since I have to talk to colleges and stuff this year..

[Ironsight]

I like American History, specifically the second World War.

[Drizzy Drake]

I'm thinking of maybe going to a school in England, or Australia, since that is where the main electronic culture is. Any good recomendations?

My ancestors were Vikings AND Celtics.

Wrap your sick minds around THAT one. 8D
