Careers?

[XIII Nobodies]

If your parents ever try to force it upon you, tell them "hey, you're infringing upon my rights, and you're bad parents for not encouraging me to strive for something else!" Hopefully that will shut them up.

How much money are we talkin

Five (Canadian) Dollars.

That is to say, I bet that you'd never be able to be anywhere near as big as The Beatles. Not that you won't make a band called "the next Beatles."

 

[Mythological Omega]

Senior in high school, currently working on a portfolio to get into IT. Planning on majoring in computer science and minoring in instrumental music.

What are you currently studying/aspiring to be?

audio/video production babby

about to graduate, only about four classes left

I'm currently re-taking Year 12 in an effort to improve my mark. I have one more semester to complete and then it's off to University. My intention there, is to study Film & Television. Writing is probably the area I'd like to focus on the most, but I'm also aiming to get into directing. My dream would be to break into film, but the Australian film industry is pretty shit so my hope is to break into television and see where the river takes me.


If I ever get to make a movie, I will hire you to design my promotional material.

i smell collaboration do you?

 

[AxelRoxasFan223]

Still in high school taking Biology, Geography and Physics as majors, and of course Maths and English because I have to.
Planning to get in to a Science Faculty -> Department of Geology and studying Paleontology in university so to be straight forward, hoping to be a paleontologist xD;;

I do like drawing manga though, being a Mangaka sounds ideal to me too :>

 

[krexia]

Yes, I know I gotta go to to college to be a accountant, but if you want to be a doctor, I heard you had to spend 10-15 years to be one.

6 years in most countries.

 

[Salty the Hero]

I'd like to study in Graphic design and Biology. Graphic designing because it's a fun activity, and Biology because it seems the most interesting subject in Science.

 

[Siren]

I am currently a senior in high school, and will be attending a community college next year. After that, I'll either be transferring and completing a degree with a four-year university, or just finding a job and working from there.

So far as what I'll be studying/what I aspire to be: I'm going for general studies, as the college doesn't offer my (admittedly ridiculous and probably nonexistent) major/minor combinations of choice. There, I will be taking classes in self-defense, speech, english, mathematics, science, philosophy, and psychology + sociology. If I decide to attend a four year university, I'll narrow down a more specific major from there.

Career? Honestly, as a good number of you know (or may have guessed) I want to be an author. On that same side, I want to work in some form of position or volunteer my time in order to 'help people'; hence the psychology. And I am comfortable enough to say that I have absolutely no problem working a simple, low-paying job, if it means that I'll be able to live comfortably and pursue the things I enjoy. Forget being a doctor, or lawyer; I want to be able to do the things that I love, and I'm not idealistic enough to believe that I'll get a job that is specifically those things.

I'm actually looking forward to pursuing a career in computer science, but I am unsure if I'll be able to make it with my poor grades and stuff. What college are you guys applying to, the ones who mentioned working with computers as their possible career?

 

[Sign]

I'm currently a freshman in college, major is Game Art and Design. I'm obviously in art school; so far, I've taken the basic fundamental classes for design, drawing, color theory, etc., as well as english. But next quarter, I'm taking my for 3D modeling class, so I'm pretty excited about it

Hmm...do you want to work with computers in art, or technology itself? If it's art, the one I applied to and am attending is the Art Institute.

 

[Solar]

Ever since I was little, all I've ever wanted was to be a detective, so I am very much interested in forensic sciences. Writing is my only skill that I can really use, plus I will publish a book eventually (my parents have some friends). The one language I really want to learn is Italian, but I'd like to hone my French as well.

 

[DiceKiller]

I am a junior in High school and I really want to get a degree in music composition. I always like arranging little mini pieces by ear on my Sibelius and I am very skilled in music myself. Not really in the standard way, but I have my own little method for learning music., But I would like to learn more on music theory so I could become a lot. I guess my dream would be to write music for a video game. Berklee College looks like a wonderful place and I like that no minimum GPA is required, but they require live auditions. I live in South Texas, and the college is in Boston, so it would be quite a trip.

 

[IWanna4get]

right now i'm taking computer engineering ,then maybe i will take major in programming...
i want to make virtual reality games or mmorpgs... ones that you don't get easily board with

 

[Forever Atlas]

Well, I'm a college grad in the field of computer science and technology. But I have several careers. I always have to have something new to do. So in addition to the network admin job I have, I own two small (and growing) businesses. One is in the automotive services department and the other is an online business (yeah don't ask what site). Futher, I have recently (within the past 2 months) acquired a job in the video gaming industry. Envy me

I am planning to move forward though. I am a jack of all trades. I think I would like to get out of the technology field and move to something in broadcasting, or at least something that I can use my voice in. I might go back to school. Not quite sure yet. I always like to try new things and move ahead. The computer network admin job I have right now, for a single guy with other jobs on the side, it pays quite well. My problem is, it's the same boring thing every day.

But who knows where life will lead me. Its all a journey and I plan on taking several paths.

 

[Masamune]

I'm halfway through my PhD and still not sure what I want to do with my life.

whoah. PhD in what?

I do like drawing manga though, being a Mangaka sounds ideal to me too :>

If you take time to read the manga Bakuman, you will feel very different about it.

 

[stephaknee]

6 years in most countries.

In the US it's 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, then about 4 years of residency.

 

[kotoko]

I'm still in high school, but I'm aspiring to be a character designer/3D artist and animator for video games, movies, anything and everything to do with the entertainment industry. Basically, I'm not that special and wanna be a graphic designer/etc like everyone else XD maaaybe a model?

 

[Monkey]

Electrical Engineer. =)

 

[xx kairi xx]

Im in college doing my final year of A-levels (english, history, geography and photography). I picked a range of subjects to begin with as i was unsure on my career path. Iv since decided to specialise in english. I'll be going to university in september to do a degree in english language, literature and linguistics combined with creative writing in my second year. After that I'll move on to do a masters degree and a PhD and eventually become a professor of english ..hopefully lol ^^
