So what career are you aiming for?

One weird thing about me is that I actually like writing tests ^^; Having a lot of tests instead of writing essays is also another reason I may have gone towards engineering.

OMG, we have the same personality. I'm an engineering student too and I like music and creative writing as well.

i would say car mechanic, just to be able to solve any problems i could get in the future. i was an intern in a garage and it was awesome, just car after car finding out what was wrong with them just using my brain and to see a huge variety of cars and i would say, even though i pretty much suck at it, an education in drawing.

Currently aiming to be a veterinarian in a few years, though my recent grade in biology and my father constantly riding my back over is is starting to make me wonder if I should try for something else.

At the moment, I am finishing my third year at college (the UK version ) doing a BTEC National Diploma in IT. Starting September this year, I will be a student at Bristol University (UWE) studying for a Degree in Digital Graphics with Animation and Visual Interpretation.

[Doraneko]

I can speak some English, Chinese and Japanese but am fluent in none of them. I also got an okay degree in accounting and finance, received postgraduate training in law, worked in Japan as an accounting intern for some time and returned as a hikkikomori doing freelance translation on legal stuff.

It is like a downward spiral. The longer I stay unemployed, the more negative my thinking has become. I am seriously puzzled at what I should be aiming for. It is truly sad and shameful for a young person at early twenties like me to be social leechers, while all my peers have rewarding jobs and are contributing to the society.

I don't care about getting rich or getting into a job that I would truly love, since the chances of both are close to non-existence. All I want is just a humble little job that is stable enough to support my family and myself.

Well due to set backs. HR Manager is now gone like the wind

Gonna be training in Fort William to operate and maintain ROV's

[SirJeannot]

switching from network/security engineer to particle physicist

[Aimingan12]

Deciding between a pharmacist and a business. But since I already know mostly about medicine I might just stick to being a pharmacists.

[LusterFlare]

Haven't decided yet, but most likely something health-related.

[MeoTwister5]

Next year is officially my last year in a classroom. After that is my hospital internship. Sigh... 2.5 more years before my MD...

don''t change it for those reasons, grade can be improved and your dad only wants the best for you but he'll respect your choice and your determination and besides its your life not his. so if you love to be a veterinarian, just go for it.

Last year of school ed D: hopefully nothing too screwy will happen..
dream job- graphics artist for some visual novel company! (ahh youth ;D)
practical job- doctor (and therefore aiming for biomed entry -> medicine degree)
fallback- video rental store clerk (with internet movie piracy nowdays, lots of bumming off ♪)

[Vault Dweller]

I didn't start going to college until 4 or 5 years after high school, bit of a late start but better late than never. I'm going to be a teacher like my father though rather than teach history locally as originally planned I've decided I want to teach English overseas, perhaps in Japan. Also though it's a bit of a pipe dream I'd like to write novels some day.

[npcomplete]

current: software engineer (aka programmer -__- ) .. been here too long

next: save some money, make some money

afterward: animator, maybe attend art school, somehow...

I've been working since I was 15, and have been in two different video/book store clerk positions. The job is easy, but boring as hell. If you work 40 hour weeks, days go by painfully slow if your company doesn't have a whole lot of business. It is a good job if you want something that you don't really have to care about and isn't very stressful though.

I personally work as a web developer in a small firm, and I do some freelance stuff on the side to make some extra money. (Which is actually a good business if you know how to avoid the pitfalls.) I absolutely hate being bored, so I don't mind if I get busy at work or even at home with freelance stuff. It normally comes in waves anyhow.

I only try to make enough to pay the bills and fund my hobbies, which aren't all that expensive. I'll probably go back to school in a few years for my masters and then maybe start teaching.
