The subject says it. what job do you have or want to have.
I want to be a electrical enigineer, or maybe just a handyman.

Damien · Wed 19/05/2004 21:07:31

I want a work with computers, or music.
Or a job where i don't do anything and get paid.

But I'll probably end up operating heavy machinery.

I want (and will since I have the marks) to be a Video Game Programmer, or perhaps a Software Engineer.

I've wanted to design games since I was five.

EDIT: Being a professional skateboarder or archer wouldn't look too bad at this point as well.

I want to be a high tech weapons developer for the army, or a game designer

Evil · Wed 19/05/2004 21:29:08

Same as Dart. I've always wanted to be a story-board artist for a game. Currently I've been moving subjects and I am taking network admin classes. You'd be suprised how much you get paid to do those kinds of jobs, even if they are small schooling jobs.

Same here.
I've played games all my life, and I probably never will stop playing them.
And I'ev been making games for a couple a years now.

I'm a grocery clerk now.

But I want to become a film director or producer.. or do something in the film/video industry.

Haddas · Wed 19/05/2004 21:35:47

I want to become a well-paid game-tester or a gamedesigner

Meowster · Wed 19/05/2004 21:36:56

Right now I'm a part time waitress, because I'm a full time student.

But I really wanna be a game designer. I know it's hard and I know it's a hard industry to get in to, and often times frustrating. I know being a Game Designer isn't all flowers and candy. But I don't care.

Failing that, animation or programming. It's all good.

right now i'm visiting a school where i gain quite wide knowledge about programming/project management/run-your-own-business-stuff

although i'm very talented in programming (always this glorification...) i'm not really interested in the sort of stuff we program now and then we'll have this ugly 9 hour programming-examination on saturday...wah...i really hate it. totally.

let me be producer and everything would be cool. calming yourself down while everything around you goes wrong while there is a bunch of work, which needs to be done in a very very short time period. i think that's cool. or just author (books). or both.

hmmm...or let's go the easiest way: let me be millionare. i think that's the job i like most.

I want to be a fire truck when I grow up....

I'd like to get into computer programming, hopefully something to do with entertainment, such as video game design. That's the whole reason I sought out AGS in the first place, to get a taste for what it's like doing that sort of thing.

I'm going to work hard for that dream, and hopefully one day, I'll start my own company. I can just see it now...

Films. Writing them.

To be more specific: kids films.

For a while...

Flippy_D · Wed 19/05/2004 23:03:39

I have no specific idea.

Rough ideas:

Film cinematography/directing/story/a little acting?

Advertising (TV adverts, good ones).

Dunno, really. I have a feeling I won't go the normal way...

Matt Brown · Wed 19/05/2004 23:52:29

currently network tech, and baseball umpire

want: to study politics and goverment, have job in state department/ us senete

BOYD1981 · Thu 20/05/2004 00:07:26

i'd like to get paid for being on irc OR the webmaster of some porn site (hey, atleast i'm honest)...
but really, i would like to be an ideas person, you know, coming up with ideas for companies that need them, be it for advertising campaigns or games or whatever they need ideas for.
i was considering going to university to do a games design and programming course, but i can't afford to and i need a minimum of three C grade GCSEs which i probably have, but i can't for the life of me remember it was that long ago...
but right now, in reality, i'm looking for factory work because i find working hard for my money very rewarding, i would love to work in a big warehouse just lifting big heavy things around all day...
erm, yeh...

I want to sit atop a mountain in silent meditation while passers-by stop and ask me for my words of wisdom, and to which I tell them that the lives we lead are actually figments of our imagination, that all reality is merely perception, human existence is based upon cruelty to a higher force (be it a God or a president) and that our purpose is to break free of the physical constraints of the world in order to achieve a higher state of mind where our souls shall live in peace and harmony.

Either that or a bus driver.

I'm employed as an Engraver for a local Trophy and Awards store here in Western New York.

It's a great but stressful job because of the constant workload, but i don't think i'd want to do anything else. Well maybe i would, but the money's great.

I am a programmer and technical writer.Ã,Â And thus it is.Ã,Â Amen.

It's all the school kids isn't it. You dirty dirty man...

I want to be James Bond when I grow up.

Actually I'd really like to be a character artist for computer games and stuff.

DGMacphee · Thu 20/05/2004 04:20:46

Acutally, I was thinking more along the line of a Brisbane City Council bus driver.

You're the dirty bastard thinking about kids.
