William Howard Taft Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Potential education: Bachelor's, probable Master's in Business Administration Potential job: Agricultural business consultant, adjunct professor of business Why?

Kemosabe Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Potential Education: If anything, something to do with engineering. Don't know much yet, too young to figure out completely what I'm interested in. Potential Job: When I leave school, I'm enrolling into the army. I'm betting I'm skilled enough to get into the NZ SAS (modest much?), I just don't know whether or not I'll have motivation to try hard enough to get in. Don't know where university would fit into that, but yeah. Why? I feel like I should do something with my life, rather than just earn money and live a nice lifestyle like everyone wants. Quote
As Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Potential Education: Nothing specific but some university degree. Potential Job: Writer/Author Why? I enjoy writing and it pays well (if you're good ) As Quote

Scrum Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Education: I'd do a split degree for German and History and take it from there.... Job: Teacher Why? Out of interest and to pay back everything school has done for me to kids Quote
Druin Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Potential Education: 5 years in college (2 years for prereqs/general requirements + 3 years for program); Bachelor's in Health Science via Radiation Therapy option. Potential Job: Radiation Therapist. Why? Still uncertain as to whether or not I want to pursue this career, but I figure I'll just go with it since I was just accepted into the program. It's a stable job and being able to help cancer patients is always a plus. Edited July 11, 2010 by Druin Quote

With that, I've got a lot of options and I'm considering somewhere in America for a PhD. Potential Job: Hopefully an academic. I want to research physics. Why? Because I love maths and science. And I don't have a 9-5 job in some crappy office. I get to learn something every day. Quote

Potential Job: Psychologist or Psychoanaylitic pshcyotherapist. Why? I fear of humans but helping some is a good thing, plus the $1600 a day I'll earn. Quote
Mikey Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) I'm planning to go into engineering, specifically Computer Science, because I like math when it actually has a purpose and I want to do something at a web company like Digg/Facebook. So a BS to start out, not sure about what college yet although I'm looking at NC State, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, and Columbia (very long shot). I'm thinking that I'll graduate college, work for a couple years, then possibly go back and get a PhD and teach or something. I've thought about the Air Force Academy for a great education and guaranteed awesome job, but I think I would rather have a more "traditional" college experience...

Rene Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 I will open a convenience store in India. I'll be working in the convenience store, stacking shelves. Quote
Gillis Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Why? I enjoy writing and it pays well (if you're good ) It pays well if you're very very good. If you're looking for money, don't be a writer. That or get a job writing for a newspaper or something. Edited July 11, 2010 by Gillis Quote
Riddick Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Why? I enjoy writing and it pays well (if you're good ) It pays well if you're very very good. If you're looking for money, don't be a writer. That or get a job writing for a newspaper or something. Yeah. Writing books is kinda hit or miss. You'd be best securing a job in writing (like journalism) and having writing on the side. Quote
Mr Summers Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 A lot of people want to work for NASA hmm. With the cuts they've been receiving, I hope you do get a job there. Did Obama cancel that space exploration program set up by Bush? Quote

Did Obama cancel that space exploration program set up by Bush? I'm pretty sure he just made cuts in it. I plan to be an author as an adult, but in case I can't make a living, I plan to have a backup career as a statistician, or perhaps a curator or professor. Or maybe a minister or a member of an aid organization. It's all up in the air right now, all I do know is that I want to write. Quote
Ak-47 Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Gonna make a new computer OS, that's plan B. Plan A: My Coach agrees with me, but since I can play soccer well, going to University of Virginia, and hope to play in the big leagues Quote
Definition Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 How does anyone know what they want to do? Potential Education: B.A in Economics from McGill, J.D. from an Ivy League (i wish) Potential Job: Community Organizer Why?: I didn't grow up in wealth, and former community was very impoverished. I feel that I need to give back because my parents got lucky in some respect. Quote

That's something I'm worried about. I want to join the Army but I don't want to miss out on university. Quote
