What do you want to be?

ScottDoom · Wed 04/02/2004 08:22:13

Well, I have a job right now but it's just my high school job.

As for after college, I hope to enter the video game industry or the movie industry. I'll probably also write a book or two, but I don't expect to make too much money from them.

If not that, I'll probably become a cop or security guard, because all those "career tests" give me results in security.

[Cameron] · Wed 04/02/2004 08:51:22

I dont get job test with a career counselor until next year being year 10. With my school 10,11 and 12 are on a differant campus to the rest.

When I went to school, they had this computer program that everyone had to use. You answered loads of questions, and it told you which jobs you'd be suited to.

It said that I should be either a florist or a fishmonger, but I never became either of those things.

Perhaps I should have combined the two, and spent a quiet life making pleasing arrangements of haddock.

I think my job placement exam told me I should be in IT or programming. I'm going to school to be an Electrical Engineer, and it's damn hard. Consider years of intense study in Math if you think about being an Engineer.

I just want a good story to tell while on my deathbed.

Barcik · Wed 04/02/2004 14:12:00

I see you're planning ahead, DG.

One destiny for me - programmer.

The ultimate dream for me is to work in a Shakespearean company- hopefully the Canadian Stratford company. Secondary dream is to also be a writer.

What will I end up doing? Teaching highschool kids grammar and theatre history. Or being a starving artist, whichever works.

I want to be an Engineer, as JackHammer. Though when I entered University I couldn't decide whether I wanted to be an electrical engineer or an informatics engineer. I chose the second, and as far as I've seen I wasn't mistaken. Electric engineering is nice, too, but informatics is a lot more philosophical.

I had a subject related to electric engineering last semester and it was as far on hardware as I ever wanted to be, so I can't complain.

It may seem a little grim, but what I mean is I just want to accomplish something great or be somewhere special.

I don't have any desire to stay in the same place for too long.

Keep on movin' till the day you die.

I'm studying for teacher at primary school. Though besides that, my biggest goal, is to be a radical follower of Jesus

Maybe getting into the ministry of healing, or prophetical teachers, or youth leader.... whatever God wants :

Eggie · Wed 04/02/2004 16:48:11

I hope to write comics and then die young from starvation after making many comic books, TV series and movies...And I want my coffin to be made of cheese...

Okay, that's my ULTIMATE dream. More realistically I'd like to work in character animation/ design and do comics on the side...
And die young...

I'd like to have a carreer in music. If that doesn't work, a carreer in writing. If that doesn't work, a carreer in teaching.

Or I could just get a real job

Darth Mandarb · Wed 04/02/2004 18:48:09

AlecW - I think you should be an English teacher "If you dont got no job ..."

I always wanted to be a Disney animator when I was a kid ... then in '91 I saw a little movie called Terminator 2 which made me start thinking, "animating on a computer?" then in '93 I saw Jurassic Park and it changed my life! I was going to work in special effects in Hollywood.

But I ended up moving to Florida (away from my girlfriend) to sell Macintosh computers through a company that was giving a kick-back to a disloyal Apple employee who was stealing the computers we were selling to the S. American market when they were only supposed to be going to the Easter European market in a scam that reached all the way to Brian Denehhey's son and the great Nephew of Oscar Shindler in Germany. Subsequently I got accepted at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale but threw that away to move back to Michigan to be with my girlfriend who I have since broken up with and spent almost 8 years living in Michigan again developing a career in web development/graphic design and database programming.

Now I own my own company and do well.

Ahhh ... well at least I don't 'dont got no job' right?

** takes deep breath **

Do you guys like fiddy cent?

Andail · Wed 04/02/2004 19:08:40

I seem to be studying to reach some sort of traditional profession, however I want to be either a writer or an artist or perhaps a musician. Something creative, and something to tell my grandkids about.

Babar · Wed 04/02/2004 20:59:54

well.... I should have decided long ago... but I am still not sure. I want to be in games designing, but then I also want to open up a chain of resteraunts. Then there is the fact that I wanted to be a writer since I was a small kid. Also, like DGM, I want to accomplish something that would make me reknowned long after death. Maybe I could combine all those into 1 job somehow...
the great chain of Babloyi resteraunts now offer gaming..... first 100 to win get a free meal...

Nine Toes · Thu 05/02/2004 02:35:31

Well at this current time... I AM unemployed. I'm trying to take all free time I can to finish up high school (even though I should have finished about 3 years ago... MOVING ON!...) In high school I had wanted to go to the Joe Satriani guitar school, but then I also hurt my hand, and now my guitar abilities aren't so great anymore (how ironic).

I figger I'll be done with H.S. in about a year, and when I've finished that, I'm going to go to a technical college for a five year degree in computer programming. I think while I'm at it, I'll take some photoshop classes or some CAD/3D design classes.

That's the whole reason I sought out AGS in the first place, I love games and I've always wanted to make my own. I had seen something on TV for some colleges that actually specialize in video game design, I've been reading up on those.

Aside from all that, I had heard somewhere that there will be about a 200% increase in the demand for programmers in the next decade or so. So, that's another good reason to become a programmer.

Matt Brown · Thu 05/02/2004 02:41:05

I plan on double-majoring at college in music and political science. I'd like to have some sort of job in the state department, or in forgien relations. Dream Job? UN Diplomat, Ambassador, or, of course, President of the United States.

Hey, it could happen!

if public service doesnt pan out, I could be a professor in either music (jazz studies, steel drum island music, or percussion preformance) or policital science

Mr Jake · Thu 05/02/2004 07:02:19

Good for Sully

and 200%??? !?!?! w00t
