So You Want To Be A _ _ _ _ _

[The Defender]

I'm just wondering what people are thinking of doing when they grow up.....

Post away!

[kittymeow]

lawyer. Prosicuter against parents who abuse their children to be exact.

Hungry would like to be a children's books editor for some reason. She doesn't really know why, just as she doesn't know why she is speaking in third person. Hungry just likes to correct people's mistakes, and is good at editing when she gets serious. Another thing Hungry might like to do is be a chef, as she's not a bad cook, and she'd be around food all day, which is good for when Hungry gets hungry.

-seabiscuit, a.k.a. hungry

So you want to be <STRIKE>A</STRIKE> The Queen of the World.
I want to grow up to rule the world. That's what I've decided on because I don't know what I want to be when I get older. I guess I'll get back to you guys when I find something realistic.
I like Hungry's idea about the chef. *Runs of to burn some food.*

I'd like to go into some kind of scientic field, or maybe into the paranormal, like a paraphyschologist.

[Gigo]

paraphyschologist? :S

I would like to go into R&D. I don't know. Maybe I'll be an engineer.

*imitates Sr'eee* "I'm only two!"

Lolz. Well, not THAT young, but still plenty of time to think about it.

An astrophysicist. XP Joking, that's much to consfusing with all the astronomy-stuff physics... >.<

I really like writing, so I guess I want a job concerning that. Maybe an author or a journalist or something.

But in truth, I'm really too young to be sure.

I would like to be an astrophysicist, quantum mechanic, or theoretical phycicist. Or of course any combination of the three.
And, yess, I am being serious. I'm quite ambitious.

[Marissa]

Yep, a paraphyschologist! Have you ever seen shows like "Ghost Hunters" or "Most Haunted"? The paraphyschologists are the brains behind the shows in a way.

So I want to be a Volcanologist. I'd actually like to work for the USGS at some stage, but I don't know whether I'll ever get to that. Failing that, I'll settle for being a geologist.

Wow, Josh, you like physics, huh? Quantum mechanics is interesting, but I'm hopless at it. I was interested in astrophysics at one stage too, but the jobs are few and far between ..

So I want to be an author! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Well, I've actually made a list of possible jobs and reasons for and against them. They range from geologist to soccer player to lawyer to singer. When it's not 12:11 am, I'll type it up and post it. I wrote it in...December of 2003, so it's outdated. VERY MUCH SO. HISTORIAN? Geez, I haven't read this in forever...short version:

Singer
Lawyer
Writer/Journalist/Poet
Teacher
Linguist (my Tolkien phase showing through)
Historian...still confused WHY
Geologist
Artist...fat chance
Mapmaker
Librarian (I'm well on my way.)
Professional Soccer Player...see artist...

I was a weird sixth grader!

Anyways, I've matured since then. Now, I've considered jobs in computer stuff. I may not know any fancy lingo, but since the episode of YGO where Seto's fixing up the original duel disks, I've had this strange obsession about the different dimensions of computers. There's the scientific part, about the reason things work and the cellular things. Then the physical aspect, how to put it together. Finally, there's the many different programs you can run on it, and the html stuff.

Another scientific thing I want to study is this techno book/paper thing. It's like bendable paper that has cells. When the cells get a certain electronic signal, postive I think, the black side goes up. When the negative side is activated, it turns white. Something like that...I have the article somewhere.

So I want to be journalist! hehehehe, all you little people, look at National Geographic 20 years from now and I'll be in it! muahahahhaha!!!
I thought about being an author when I was little, but I love traveling, so I'm gonna mix traveling and writing And if I can't write for a living I'll live on the street, so if I'm not in National Geographic 20 years from now look for a redheaded hobo on the streets and you'll find me.... hehe, just kidding, kinda

[A Traveller with Magic]

Yay! I'm not the only person who wants to be an astrophysicist! I don't exactly care if I'll get a headache every hour from studying that sort of thing. I don't really know why, but I guess it's just that...all those things waiting to be discovered, all those new things to think about, see things that no one else has seen before and hasn't been ruined by humans yet...
Well, it's hard to explain but that's the closest I can get...*sighs*

For backup I have:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Some other field of science (but never medical)
<LI>Computer programer (don't ask me why...)
<LI>Pianist
<LI>Clarinetist (preferably in a symphony orchestra)[/list]

I really don't want to be a:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>lawyer (especially after a certain summer camp)
<LI>teacher (I just don't have the patience to teach, only to learn)
<LI>doctor/nurse (I HATE getting colds or going near sick people)[/list]

[Cress]

I'd like to be an author, but I really don't know if I'm even close to good enough. Other than that...who knows? Definetely something artsy though. Couldn't stand science or math for a profession.

Might not wanna mention that around DD, given her previous career before she became a writer. Some of you folks may have noticed that the Wizard's Oath bears not a small resemblance to the Hippocratic.
