Your Future Careers, family and life.

- Is this my calling?
- Do I really want to base my life of this?
- When do I want to start to have a family?
Those questions were just a few of the countless questions we ask...
So, where do you see yourself in the future? What career are you pursuing? Do you see yourself having a family?
I myself a while ago wanted to pursue a career relating to Computer Science but after thought I realised that computers is just something I like, a hobby; so I decided to focus my energy on computers only in spare time.
Right now, I see myself having a future in Earth Science > Geophysics > Hydrology. I'm not too sure about Hydrology though, I have a few years to pinpoint specifically... Also, I want to have knowledge in Business Administration.
Anyway, I always told myself I'd try to have a family in my 30s, having wonderful children with a beautiful wife, living life comfortably with them, not excessively rich, but atleast able to support my family beautifully.
What about you?

I'd love to be an English professeur at a college or something, mainly for poetry. Err... I'd only do that if music doesn't work out for me. I'm very, very determined to release a few albums. I can compose pretty well (for my age anyway, I'll probably get even better later). If that doesn't work out for me I'll be either an English guy, or a mixer/tracker in musical recording or just a straight out composer. It'll be good.

I do that when it feels time goes way too fast. It helps make things a little more "Stop to smell the roeses" type of thing.
But I live for the future by working hard today. I've always had a knack for Drawing, writing, storytelling, and I happen to be overcome by a lot of big ideas. Early on, I'll probably take it into the Video game business, thinking up the big ideas for Research and Development. Maybe later on, my ideas would be better off as books. *shrug*

I could either be a pharmacist, which I find interesting and has great promise.
Or I could call that recruiter back that said I was qualified for the Navy's nuclear program. (I know, OMGPOTATO! Nuclear?!?!)
It's a tough choice, school for pharmacology will be expensive. The Navy will pay for college, but I don't know if I'd survive basic training. (I have... rather poor physical strength. I wouldn't survive ten minutes in boot camp. I'd die of shame if not physical exhaustion.)
There's a bunch of other factors to weigh, (Risk of being killed, pharmecudical company nazis, etc.) but that's my conoundrum.

I like drawing, building, designing, creating, cooking, computers, videogames, cars, track, swimming, and baseball. Out of those, I'd probably go with computer engineering, car designing, software engineering, or cooking.
Off topic, my mom has a friend who's husband is a chef and mathmetician. Using math, he mad a 62 layer cake.

I'll be a drone.
I'll make the ****ty commute to the city every day.
I'll do the same thing everyday.
Then I'll have had enough **** and quit.
Then I'll start my own business.
Then it will succeed.
Then I'll be all like. Yeah, *****.

September 2006 - July 2008: Studying for A Levels in Chemistry, History and Psychology at Suffolk College. Also studying Japanese at college.
2008/9-2009/10: Gap year. Visiting Japan, America, perhaps other parts of Europe.
2010 - ???: Studying for a degree in History at university. Not sure how long that'll take, so I don't know the dates of the next things I'm doing. Anyway, after that:
Teacher training.
Get a job as a teacher in a Primary or special needs school, or a GCSE and A Level History teacher.
The end.

Looking back just a year or so ago, I can't believe I was ever thinking like that. Now, being here in college, I want more than that. I want fulfillment, the sort of thing that a career provides, but goes beyond that - there's more to life than that, so much to see and learn and do. It sounds cliched, but it really makes you feel just how short life is, and just how much we have to make the best of it.
I'm now changing my career and goals in life. I want to become someone who's able to travel around the world, maybe a professor or scholar who gives lectures all over. I want to start a family and have children and raise them. I want to see all the major natural wonders of the world. It's idealistic perhaps, but I feel a lot happier chasing that than just "ZOMG DOCTOR!!!11oneone"
Although more practically, I'm tentatively planning on becoming a college mathematics professor. Never would have considered that a year ago.

As for family and such, I don't know at this point. There's some huge issues I need to resolve (although it's not possible, I'll do the best I can!) with myself before I can worry about such things. I do know that I'd like to have a child, though. And I do really really really like somebody right now. :\
I'm only 18 though. Perhaps I should just relax. XD

Right now, I think Photojournalism is a job that fascinates me. You're right on the spot and you experience events rather than just read about them in a magazine or newspaper, and you capture those memories. Really, a great way to see the world. I think I'd like to be a photojournalist for wildlife preservation and/or poverty.
My backup is to be a Biologist, more specifically, in zoology. I love animals.
I'm not thinking about a family right now. That'll come when there's a girl worth my time, lol.

People, read that quote, even if you've already read his post. That is SO true, I've only just learned that a few months ago. For years and years I've only had one career in mind. However, now that I'm preparing and studying for my future, I have a couple more in mind.
If you don't have more than one or two careers in mind now, don't worry. By the time you get to teh age when you have to start getting ready for teh future, you'll have many more ideas and possibilities. They'll just seemingly appear out pf nowhere, that's the way it goes.

The time will come when you'll realize just all the things you want to do, even if you never considered them before.

same here, but barring that, I want to try and break into the writting industry. I'm working on about half a dozen different stories right now, and I plan to develop them further. At least, that's half a dozen stories that are not fan-fics, but are of my own creation.

- Bender.
In all seriousness, I'd like to be something based around words (author, magazine editor, something like that) or photography.
I want something that I'm not in an office for every day, something with plenty of free time, and with a decent income.

Sibsag, I want to do something relating to photography and authoring also, but not as a profession. More like a hobby. I'm not sure, but I think photography is very time consuming and hard to make a living off.

Freelance photographer on the other hand, well that's just hard.

Marriage: I'm going to stay single, or at least get married around 30-35 when I'm done rotations and guys are actually mature :D
Kids: None. Kids are the spawn of satan >[ I don't feel like going through childbirth to have a pain in the butt, problem child like most kids are.
Education: Right after I graduate high school (2009), I'm going to go to the University of Arizona for four years (I have a full ride scholarship there :D ) then go on to get my medical degree. I was talking with one of my old friends, Maggie (she was a member here, M&M), and she said she wants to go to the university and it's college of medicine as well, so we'll probably find a place to share rent until we're done school.
Career: Unlike what GL said, I want to go for the "OMG DOCTOR!!1!!111" I'm going to follow in my mom's footsteps and become a doctor of internal medicine. I have her knowledge to help me and I'm quite adept at picking up concepts. I find the workings of the human fascinating and I want a career that will support me, even if I don't get married. I'm the kind of person that won't just reach for the moon, but will reach for pluto. The harder the challenge, the more appealing it is to me.
Retirement: Most likely I'll have enough money put aside while I work, but I don't want to retire until I'm about 65-70. Being around people and being able to work is something I like. I don't want to depend on anyone to have to take care of me, and hopefully by the time I'm that age, the normal age of death will be up in the mid 100's. I want to retire in a tropical place, like Hawaii or the Bahamas.
Death: I don't want a big fancy funeral, and I want to be cremated. I don't want my body to rot away in a tomb, I want it to be freed and become part of nature again.
So see? I have everything planned out ^^
Edit: typo fixed. Incarceration would be a bit impossible if I was dead. XD

And yes, I know all these mormons that want five thousand kids, and I'm like "hey, go for it, just as long as you raise them up to be good kids. Not my cup o' tea though."

i think eugine has the right idea. goals first, love later. of course it depends on your priorities. can you be happy without love? or do you never know what happiness is until you experience it.

Amen to that. We need more ambitious and determined people in this world. I think one of my biggest dreams is to go to Japan and meet my favorite anime artist.

You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
I love this song (Take it to the Limit- Eagles), and especially that part. Because seriously, that's what people do. They spend their lives making money, and throw away their relationships just surviving in life.

don't get married. if you want to spend your life with someone, then spend your life with them. why do you need a ring and a 50 000$ wedding for that. if you want to 'celebrate your love' then do something really nice for each other or throw a party. wedding's are unnecessary and a disaster waiting to happen.
