Tell us what you want to be/think you will become, what you definitely do not want to be, and also if you want to, what your parents' jobs are.
If you already have a job, tell us that as well as whether or not you plan to stay with that job or go on to something else.
I want to be a Therapist since it pays well, and it seems rather safe.
I dread a job where I have to sit in a cubicle.
My parents are electrical engineer and analyst. BOTH work in a cubicle. :emhh40:
Currently: JOBLESS:emhh15:

Currently I'm on the path of a Civil Engineer.... but if that doesnt work theres always Mechanical engineering...... and if that doesnt work theres always medicine XD
becuase you know..... doctors/nurses are always in short supply.... and its not like people will stop being sick/hurt all of a sudden.
I just don't want a position thats the head of something. I can't take that kinda stuff ><
My dad is an Architect and my mom is a Nurse

As of right now, I'm looking into Health Sciences and Kinesiology. For the first year of college I plan to go 100% into powerlifting, and after I hit some of my goals, I will keep PL, but also obtain my personal trainers card. I will probably then become something close to a physical therapist that helps rehabilitation in hospitals while personal training and powerlifting on the side.

I work in the Apparel Manufacturing industry and its my second choice. My first would have teaching but its only viable if you are the second income earner in your home, as it doesnt pay enough.
My mum was a dress-maker and my father ran a Tea Plantation - now that was the perfect life if luxury.
I do not want to work like this forever and would love to be able to do something that would support me and let me stay home ... like writing, but dont think anyone wants to read my writings ... hhahaha

Well currently I am a culinary student and I hope to one day own my own resturant. The idea of working an office job scares me to no end so I can't do my dad's job and I hate children so I'd never be able to do my mother's job.

Right now I am in college for an engineering physics major. whats that you say, its like an EE and ME together. what is the job out look? Well I plan to go join the NUPOC (NUclear Propulsion Officer Canidate program) after college to help pay for college and as a way to the join the US navy as an officer. That job title would be a 'Engineer Officer of the Watch'. Once i am done doing that, I figure I will be able to work for any nuclear power plant I want to becuase a experience dealing with nuclear subs is second to none.
I don't want to not graduate college. Engineering is tough but I think I really would like it.
my mom is a nurse and my dad manages our 700 dairy farm.

I'm going to teach English as a second language, hopefully in Asia.
I never, ever, ever want to be a normal English teacher in America. EVER.
I currently work in the video game section of Toys R Us. It's not glamorous, but it pays for gas and stuff.
My Dad works at Walmart.com and my mom is a homemaker.

I'm thinking of taking Music in college, I want to continue my life as a Violin player. My grandfather(unexpectedly) is a Violin player too, knowing that fact I decided to continue playing the Violin till my life ends.
If not, I'll be taking Computer Tech, and go to Japan to get a job.

I have lots of jobs in-mind (too many to list) so I decided that if I don't pick a jod quick I will be a sergen (it's spelt wrong isn't it) and if I do become a sergen i will be because of influence of manga.
The jobs I don't want are those kinds where you sit in an office, on the computter everyday because they're boring.

I wanna be a vet or a musician. I think musician is more fun, but since i am not sure it will pay enough - probably be a vet. I love animals
My dad works has his own business which is not doing too well these days, but i am sure will pick up again soon and my mum is a housewife. I am the eldest of 4 kids and she has to take care of us XD

I want to become a Therapist for loads of reasons , one of them are that I love to help people mentally which matters a lot with humans . I also chose it because my sister says that I can cure myself and I can cure a lot of people I already know and I guess it would be really fun that way ! :]
As for the job I never want to be , that would be any sort of engineering because I basically live in a family full of them !! And for my dad , he studied Computer Engineering and currently working with this company . My mother is a Geography teacher, but she doesn't teach the same school I go to .
That's all ..

I'm in heavy inner conflict over all of this... you see, it's time for me to apply for colleges and universities but I have not made any decisions. My current and most likely majors looks like they will be Music maor, (music ed, music theory, vocal performance, )Theater major, (musical theater, drama teacher, talent scout, teacher, director) English (teacher, writer, editor) German (teacher, historian) or something way out in the wings I have no experience in, like. Pharmacy. or advertisement.
Obviously, I have no steady job but rather I have auditions and compete for little things all around my city.
My parents were once in Computer technology, 15-20-25 years ago...companies that don't exist anymore...

I'm currently a 2nd year college student at UST, studying Civil Engineering, and I find it rather hard to get through to.
My dad's an engineer too, and my mom is a manager at an office.
I definitely don't want to be a sales clerk, an elevator-pressing guy (what do you call this guy?), or any other absurd job/carreer

You're well on your way, and I think you'd do a pretty good job of it. Keep at it!
As for me...?
Hm.
I guess, being a simple man with simple tastes, any job that pays enough that I can have my own little apartment to myself and still have some money on the side to have fun with would work for me. But if you really want me to shoot high here: Probably a writer. I have some nice stories in my head that I wanted to make comics of, but I don't have the patience to draw them out, so I'm considering writing them novel style instead. I'm just worried of my writing skills, which are not of the highest quality.
I do not want to be a graphic designer because even though I am artistic, a graphic designer isn't even about the art I like. It's like designing book covers, cereal boxes, billboards and logos, which I find monotonous drudgery. This is ironic because I have a degree in this. I only realized what it was all about after I was too far into the program to change my mind.
My mom is a stay at home mom who occasionally works down at the docks as one of the cleaning crew. She homeschooled me and my three brothers (still working on that youngest one), which is a full-time job enough, in my opinion.
My dad is currently a boat mechanic down at the docks, but he used to be a car mechanic and even owned his own shop before we moved north. I'm kinda interested in mechanical work nowadays, but I wouldn't want to learn from him. He kinda frightens me at times, and I'd have to catch and commit everything to memory first time. He's a little impatient. >.>
In retrospect, I'm long winded enough to be a writer. I just can't stop when my fingers start flying, huh?

I want to become a lot of things. And I'm glad I want to! I want to either become a writer, a teacher, a child psychologist, a counsellor, or a hair dresser. I loooove creative writing so getting my PhD in Creative Writing is a huuuge dream. Teaching would be amazing because seeing that light going off in someone's eyes after teaching them something just makes my stomach do backflips! As for being a child psychologist or counsellor, I want to help kids with home problems for my own reasons. And hairdressing is like.. my laaast plan. Heehee.
I DO NOT want to work in a cubicle. EVAAAR. I can't stand that. Like, I can spend all day on a computer.. watching anime.. but not actually doing stuff for other people, hahaha.
I have no idea what my parents do, tbh.. weird. LMAO.

i'm 2nd year in languages currently working as a bartender in a disco-club ( yeaaah , all night long with drunk people bugging you for more alcohol , yeeey !:gsg53: )
i dreamed to be an actress
and i love working as a bartender and also as a waitress :) ( jobs i have already done )
if i were to go to japan i'd love to experience working as a maid waitress :gsg30:
but i don't have any clue of what will happen after college since i'm living in a different country now
as a foreign citizen is more difficult to find a good job
than again , i might leave italy and head back home or in another country ...
but those chances are minor , still they're real .
plus i share my life with someone and all the decisions will be made in two.
