what do you want to be when you grow up? hmm??

Some of you may remember a while ago me pondering my educational future, if you don't, I am going to get to go back to school next summer and I was in a quandry as to what I should study.

I don't really "need" a job, but it would be nice to have more money, mostly I just am going because I can and I want to.

Anyway, I have decided that I am going into the mental health field, I can finish my degree in a short 2 years combining my past credits and will be able to work weekends so that I can still stay home with my kids and homeschool and all that crap, I found a hospital that will pay for my tuition so I start work there as a part-time "mental health tech" in November, I will have been there 1 month past the time that you have to before they will pay for your tuition when school starts so that's nice.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?

also, slightly on topic I told my kids today of my plans and they told me what they want to be (not that you guys care)

5 year old- President
3 year old- truck driver

nice. :D

Financial analyist. Of course, I'd say it's a done deal since I love finance/economics and I'm already in college in the program. When I was younger, I wanted to be an architect, lawyer, and some other things I can't remember but were probably cool.

I think I even wanted to be a "storm chaser" meteorologist.

Hmmmm. Actually a truck driver sounds pretty nice. Get to drive and drive and drive and drive... :D

At the moment though I'm undecided. Hopefully a career will come to me. Probably be a desk pilot of some kind.

I'm interested in being a psychologist. Not because I get to help people, but because I get to study the human brain. I find the human brain the most confusing thing on this planet, and I take every opportunity to study it. As a psychologist, it will be my job to.

Archivist. I just love handling historic documents and artifcats.

I'd like to get a master's in Political science and work either as a policy wonk or as a Pundit.

I'd also love to make it as a succesful Punk Rocker, but that's not likely at all, so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm thinking photography.

A 3 year old.

You could always go for Radio Talk Show Host! :)

Happy.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?
Well, right now I'm a 16-year-old loser...

But I want to be a soldier, a paramedic, or a professional MMA fighter (sort of like a pro boxer, but not fake.)

Hell, I could be all three...

Hmmmm. Actually a truck driver sounds pretty nice. Get to drive and drive and drive and drive...
...Yeah, that does sound pretty nice (adds to list)

Sports Agent. Show me the money!

Sports Agent. Show me the money!

*watery, green, projectile vomit*

At the moment it's a serious and very tricky toss up between an astrophysicist and a hardcore, dedicated gamer with a job in some retail store to pay the rent. Hell if I get good enough I could even work the pro gamer tournaments.

Now this may sounds ridiculous, but here's the thing:

Astrophysics: Very interesting topic, but only in very specific areas. A lot of hassle and hard work to get to a position where employment is even possible, and even more so to be able to work in the field I find most interesting. More worthwhile, and certainly better paid.

Gamer: Sad though it may sound I am becoming an ever more hardcore gamer, as is my best friend. We're seriously considering getting a couple of other friends in, who are or could be equally hardcore, renting a flat somewhere, getting jobs in retail (maybe even a game store :D) to just pay the bills and stuff, but mainly to dedicate our time and money towards ever more awesome entertainent systems. Again it sounds sad, but I could really see myself enjoying dedicating professional life to something I enjoy as much as gaming.

Of course none of this is to say I'd become one of those deplorably socially inept gamers with friends only online. I manage to upkeep an active social life right now, along with college and my current level of electronic pastimes, so I needn't worry about becoming a recluse.

Maybe I could get a job as a games-tester...

a kid.

Well, I recommend astrophysicist... it'd be more fulfilling in the long run, and you could still be a gamer. But it's entirely up to you, pick the one you'd be happiest with. :)

what do you want to be when you grow up? hmm?? snip ...Anyway, I have decided that I am going into the mental health field, snip

First of all, congratulations. Go for it girl. I just found out today that my daughter-in-law (we consider her our daughter) has gone back to school to become a nurse’s assistant. Yea, for the both of you.

Secondly, DON'T EVER GROW UP. at least mentally. :)

Third, what do I want to be when I grow up? Well, I'm 63 years young (or old) and am not sure. I like teaching electronics and may go back to that part time when I retire in 3 years, 11 days, 2 hours, and ___ minutes.

What have I done? Paper boy, soda jerk, taxi driver, security guard, bar back, salesman, avionics technician, aircraft maintenance manager, avionics & electronics instructor, and engineer. Probably a few other things I've forgotten.

Hehe, my every instinct agrees with you, and I appreciate how much better for me it will be in the long run, but... just a year or two of gaming wouldn't hurt would it? :D As to which I'll be happiest with, well, deciding that is the problem :D

The real reason this indecision came up is the fact that I currently have really rather a lot of money (relative to your average 17 year old that is) in my bank account towards my gap year travelling plans, and I can't help but think of the awesome HDTV with digi surround sound that could buy, with plenty left over for all the super sweet games coming out.

I expect it's just a phase, which I'll grow out of soon enough. But if not I could always get my degree then cut myself off from society for a year or two eh? :D Ah... a man can dream can he not?

A 3 year old.

ROFLAMO :D Yes, three! No responsibilities, no school, and someone to take care of and love you. :fluffle:

You could always go for Radio Talk Show Host! :)

But would he be Hanity or Colmbs? :eek:

You're 63? Amazing. I thought Eutrusca was our only senior citizen on these boards.

ROFLAMO :D Yes, three! No responsibilities, no school, and someone to take care of and love you. :fluffle:Funny thing is, this is what I wanted to be ever since I was 5.

Well, right now I'm a 16-year-old loser...

No one is a loser. Don't ever put yourself down.

Hey... Do you ever jog around the track at Armijio Highschool?

But would he be Hanity or Colmbs? :eek:

Well you wouldn't have to be a National one, you could be a local one.

Funny thing is, this is what I wanted to be ever since I was 5.

Now we shall label you as Commie or Socialist, j/k. :p

...But if not I could always get my degree then cut myself off from society for a year or two eh? :D Ah... a man can dream can he not?

Always have a back up plan. Getting a degree you can use to make a living is always a good back up plan. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

You're 63? Amazing. I thought Eutrusca was our only senior citizen on these boards.

Nope. In fact I found out he is a few days younger or older than I am. Both of us born in May 1943. Haven't seen him here lately, have you?

No. I hope nothing happened to him.

EDIT: In fact, I haven't seen several famous NSers around lately...

Hey... Do you ever jog around the track at Armijio Highschool?

No, I don't even limp around the track any more. :D But when I did, I was usually not anywhere close to next to last place. :) Hell, if everyone had to wait on me to finish before going to lunch they would have starved. But later in life, both Henry and I left the Captain choking in the dust. Yes, sweet victory.

But have you ever been there?

A writer.

I'm doing what I want to be if I (ever) grow up, a teacher.

I may be a college professor in the future on the odd theory that teachers need good teachers too, but I love to teach.

But, nope, don't ever wanna grow up (and you can't make me!). ;)

The best fit for me at this point is being a history professor.
I love history, and I'm ridculously good at it. (It feels so good knowing you don't have to study and you can still easily get an 95+ in your classes)
I've also thought of doing something in politics, economics, and such, but that's about it. The only thing I know for sure is I don't plan to be my friends, who seem to be content with going to UT, getting some engineering degree, and living a dull life.

Space-Pirate-Ninja.

I think I'm a shoo-in for the job.

Organic farmer.

I'll get to wear the ugliest boots ever, and be so happy.

But, nope, don't ever wanna grow up (and you can't make me!). ;)

Here! Have two cookies. :fluffle:

I never managed a realistic grasp of "what I want to be."

I wanted at one point to fly. There was the idea that I'd be a fighter pilot, but I had some budding pacifism that made me settle on wanting to fly helicopters for the Coast Gaurd 'cause rescuing people seemed cooler. But, I'm colorblind.

I wanted to design the first craft that could pass back and forth from atmosphere to space in flight. But I suck at math, and really don't like doing it. I liked the idea of such a craft, it turns out, but had no real interest in working out its details. Exactly not engineer material.

I wanted to win the sort of 'triple crown' of racing, the Indy 500, Monaco, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Or drive rally cars. Just race in general. Not good enough.

I actually was a musician for a while, just not a good enough one.

During all of that I dug the hell out of movies, but felt like it's silly to say you want to do movies. But then I thought, everything else has been silly, why should that hold me back? So now I'm a playwright and do set crew work on film an television and working on getting my short filmed in the hopes that I'll get a chance to make my own movies.


I can't help but think if I had just wished to be a pony it'd be easier. I'd probably be a pony right now.




Or a drug mule. It's like a pony...

Rich

Ok, that isn't a field but it is one of the biggest motivating factors in choosing my field. I will probably end up working for some tech company as an engineer at first then later as some form of manager hopefully. The interesting thing is that I sort of went full circle with my career path thing. When I grew up I wanted to be a scientist, then I went through all sorts of confusion then I ended up working towards a Bachelor of Science.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?

Currently an ESL teacher. I'm considering elementary education in the long run.

also, slightly on topic I told my kids today of my plans and they told me what they want to be (not that you guys care)

5 year old- President
3 year old- truck driver

nice. :D

Growing up I was the boring one - I wanted to be the typical stuff. My little bro was the funny one. For a long time he wanted to be a lawyer. And when he was about 4 or 5, he told our Nana he wanted to be a pimp. Of course, that was back around the height of the blaxploitation films, and he had no idea. Nana was pretty cool about it. She said she'd be one of his madams. :D

I want to be something so incredibly awesome that people are like :eek: when I appear...

... or a hotel manager wouldn't hurt. I'm majoring in hotel administration after all.

A professor. In every subject. And/or God.

I wish i knew, i'm 19, it's getting desperate.

Unlicensed brain-surgeon.

Here! Have two cookies. :fluffle:
Yea! Cookies! Wai!
*eats the cookies*
Thank you!

Unlicensed brain-surgeon.

Ha! That'd be good...

I'm 59 and still don't know what I want to be. But, I'm retiring in two months, so I can start checking things out. Nice to have the leisure and the income to do that.

Zoidberg?

what do you want to be when you grow up?

A Junkie.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?



I have a degree in molecular biology, but since there is no job for taht in Sweden I am studying to eb a teacher in biology and chemistry for the Swedish gymnasium (high school in US)...but thats not what I wanna be. I want to be a....









Lumberjacker. Jumping from tree to tree. :D

Some kind of "elite" military occupation. I.e. Fast jet (fighter) pilot, SAR tech (which is equivlent to pararescue) JTF-2, CSOR, (JTF-2 is like Delta force, spetsnaz Alpha/vympl, GIGN ect...CSOR is like 75th ranger regiment) ect.

Currently, just an armoured recon reservist.

I want to be a Veterinarian or anywhere in the field of Animal Science.

Jackpot lottery winner.

Jackpot lottery winner.

Works for me.

Considering the people I know who claim to be "grown up" I don't see a good reason to do so. But I am already what I wanted to be. An artist, specifically, a 3D Artist, with 2 degrees and everything. Now if I could find someone who would bloody well hire me..........

Damn the tight job markets.

First, I want to become a mechatronics engineer. Then I want to become an MSP.

I want to be a racing car driver.

Currently I work in an office.

I want to marry a lighthouse keeper, and keep him company.

That's what my four-year-old siblings said they wanted to be at one point. But that's changed rather a lot over the last two years.
I'm thinking photography.
That seems to suit you. *thinks WYTYG and spider*:p
A 3 year old.
Easier done that said.:p
Happy.
Much, much harder....

No one is a loser. Don't ever put yourself down.
Wrong! I'm a loser. *holds up certificate of losership*:p
No. I hope nothing happened to him.

I'm still here.:)

I probably will always be in some unofficial capacity.

I'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land.

Ten years ago, when I was 15, I knew exactly what I wanted to be; a computer-game programmer.
Now I've Been There, Done That and I haven't the foggiest what I want to do any more. I just while away the hours as the pet programmer and IT minion of a direct mail company.

I can help.

Seems to me you have a cushy little job that youre bored silly with.
It also sounds liek you may have a little nest egg tucked away.

Do something random and unexpected.

Quit your job, move somewhere nice, and open a crab-shack on the beach.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?I suppose happy would do. Free of (financial) worry would be a nice start..

That's about it - sadly I spent my "nest egg" on a (rented) nest. I only moved out of my parents' house last month!

So a little patience and a little saving up before any Unexpected Adventures. Still, no rush. I may well live another fifty years yet, and who knows what'll happen in the meantime? Stuff tends to turn up when you're not looking for it.

A crab-shack on King's Lynn or Skegness beach, though? Hmm... Bracing :)

Shake up your life....squeeze some fun out of it!

Hmmmm. Actually a truck driver sounds pretty nice. Get to drive and drive and drive and drive... :D

Not a good idea tho sure they say that but the deadlines make you stress like hell and you will find yourself taking allot of little 'helpers' to work the hours and speeds they demand.

I want to be a historian or a theologist.

A friend of mine drives trucks for a living.

He says its not so much the hours, becuase by law, you are only allowed to drive continuously for so long.
Then, you must stop for x amount of time.

So, its the doing nothing waiting to go that sucks.

Then...theres the "Lot Lizards"........

Ew.

Corporate Lawyer, Tory MP. Something along those lines.

I always wanted to be a time traveller.
le sigh

A martian colonist. Well? A guy can dream.

Actually, I'm currently studying for a degree in geology, and I'd like to go into planetary geology, so who knows...

Failing that, an environmental scientist, maybe international lobbying for greenpeace or water aid or something. Watch out for me on the Rainbow Warrior! :cool:

I think she is trying to model her business after one of my tax clients, he has his own truck and just takes the jobs he wants to, he and his wife go around together like 4 days a week driving everywhere and then when they aren't trying to get something somewhere they sightsee at whatever city they come by, he is making pretty good money and getting to see the country. It's not a typical story for a truck driver (I have heard bad-badness from some of them) but she is 3 and has wishful thinking I guess.

When I was 3 I wanted to marry Ozzy, so at least she is thinking independently. ;)

When I was a kid I wanted to be an archeologist.

Now in my 3rd year of doing music at uni, and I'm looking into a few options... sound design, teaching, theatre work...*shrugs*

Either teaching or curating a large museum (Natural History or the British Museum for preference).

I love those places and I love exploring on my own.

That or be a bassist. All the fun of being a musician without the attention the frontman gets.

Neuropathologist. Ambitious, huh?

Bassist = instant cool :cool:

*isnotbiasedwhatsoever*

When I was a kid I wanted to be a soldier, so I did it, but decided it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. Currently the plan is to teach French, hopefully at the university level. I'd really like to go to France for a few years to teach English, but we'll see how that works.

'grow up'? :confused:

Just so long as you're not a drummer :D

The drummer :p


That's my bro. He's actually pretty damn good, we occasionally think of starting a band together but I'm not good enough yet.

I don't really "need" a job, but it would be nice to have more money, mostly I just am going because I can and I want to.

now wouldn't that be a nice position to be in? :(



what did i want to be when i grew up? a doctor. largely cos i got told from a very young age that i'd make a good one, but when it came to actually visiting medical schools and the like, i realised that i wouldn't actually be able to take the emotional and stress aspects of the job, much as i'd like to help people. plus grades were slipping by then, heh.
as of now i have no idea what i want to do bar... as little as possible :p

i dont want to grow up, i want to go back to the old days where i could do what i wanted and not only doing what needs to be done.

* looks for entrance of neverland * *and not the crazy child molestation one, the one from peter pan*

A socialite :p :rolleyes:

now wouldn't that be a nice position to be in?
it wasn't long ago at all that I was living on the street. ;) we aren't rich, in fact we are what most would consider poor, but with planning and saving and sacrifice we are financially sound. I would probably spend more keeping a job than I make now, but it has come up that I can go back to school, so it seems like a smart decision, since we may hit hard times in the future, and it would be nice if I were more educated. ;)

How old are you, Smunkee?

You are not forced to answer, just curiosity.

And regarding the question, I am already what I wanted to be when I was a kid. I think I realized all my dreams at the age of 23, that is not bad, from now on, every achievement is a luxury.

I always wanted to play the Elgar cello concerto for an audience, although :(
Never achieved anything far from just being another cello in the orchestra.

I think being a truck driver like Smunkees youngest might be a good way to win bread.

I'm still undecided but I have a few on my mind:

1) Pilot
2) Engineer
3) Film Director
4) Video Game Developer

I always wanted to be a time traveller.
le sigh
Yeah...:(

:confused:

I have no idea what I want to be when I "grow up" but at the moment I work in a Pub

:confused:

I.. expected.. older.

And anyone else noticing how jolt is screwing up and not showing posts?

I'm currently a pest controller in London. V. varied ands ermmm... interesting job.

I've never really known what I wanna do next. I'm limited by my epilepsy as I can't (shouldn't) spend all day working on a computer (been there it sucked anyhow:D ).

I would love to be a herpetologist along the lines of what Mark O'Shea does (venom research and tv work, conservation etc.). I met him at a talk at London zoo - he rocked! Animals are my thing, reptiles (esp snakes) and dogs in particular. Unfortunately animal related jobs don't pay the bills:(

Who know's what happens next.....I'll probably just end up drifting into some other job I never intended doing!!!!:D

*wondering if Smunkee's still thinking of names?????*

I expected older too. I never imagined Smunkee is actually younger than me.

Le shock.

I.. expected.. older.

And anyone else noticing how jolt is screwing up and not showing posts?

Harry the burmese python?????? Nah, that was my old nickname cos I wear glasses. I used to hear shouts of 'ARRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!! and OI POTTER!

I'm sure there's gotta be some kinda cool trekkie/biblical thing. Come on Smunkee - you can do better than that!!!!!!!!:p :p

Oh! As I was looking for my painkillers, I thought up something!

Your hubby reminds me of me.. we both just point something out without having a point or rethinking it before we say it.. saying it for the hell of it.

Then if someone shoots it down I feel annoyed and get mad.

Maybe your hubby was just trying to do that and got defensive?

yes, he does that quite often, and you would think I would learn to realize that and brush off stuff instead of taking everything as a personal attack.......but I don't.

Being a blueberry farmer in Maine would be nice. I might be a little poor, but I would love it. And a father, I really want to be a good father when I grow up, although I still have plenty if time to be a kid.

And I already own a part of a hundred year ish old Maine farmhouse (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/P1010142.jpg) with a hundred fifty-something acre blueberry farm (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/P1010137.jpg) that no one cares for or lives on, but still makes a profit. I could easily buy it from the rest of my family for next to nothing and live on it and make some ok money if I never find anything else I really want to do. I figure its a great backup plan.

When I was two, I wanted to drive an ice cream truck.:p

Now, I'm a high school student, and my goal is to become a nanoscientist when I grow up.

I am pretty on edge today, and I tend to get pissy and defensive when I am tired.

I have been awake since early Saturday morning and it's now Monday evening. I have to bathe the kids and put them to bed in an hour or two and then I can sleep for a few hours. ;)

All the things I ever wanted to be:
-farmer
-detective
-writer
-actress
-english prof
-psychologist
-professional squatter at camp granola

I'm now officially an "aspiring actress." Not one of those idiots who goes to talent searches and wants to be on the cover of every magazine, but a dedicated performer, through and through. I don't care how many fast food restaurant toilets I have to scrub; I'm going to be on stage. So many people have told me I'm making a stupid choice, but for me, it's not a choice. It's the truth.

I once wanted to be a meteorolgoist, but then I decided on president. Now I want to be an author but also be a political satirist just like Jon Stewart. :p Or perhaps a teacher...

you should start your own religion, write a book about it, and talk about politics a lot while paying close attention to the weather looking for signs from heaven.;)

I'll be starting university for the very first time in a week or so, studying analytical chemistry. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do when I grow up, all I know is that I'll never work in a crappy minimum wage job again. What I really want to be is an astronaut, that would be a cool job. I doubt that will ever happen though. :(

I don't care, it's just a childhood dream. Going into space would be quite an experience though. I wanted to be an astronaut ever since I first heard the word as a child, I thought it was funny because it sounds like my name. I'm called Astra, latin for star. Hehe, astranaut...no, that's not so funny now I'm an adult. I wish I was still as easily amused like when I was a kid. :(

I'm Arli$$ Michaels, I represent athleets, and these are my stories...

When I was really little, I'm told I wanted to grow up to be a giraffe. :p At various points after that, I wanted to be an archaeologist, an astronaut, a marine biologist, a pilot, an olympic athlete, and a theoretical physicist. At the moment I'm shooting for law school, but we'll see where I actually end up.

when I was little (under 5) I told everyone that I was going to be the statue of Liberty when I grew up.

up until a few months ago if you asked my 3 year old what she wanted to be she would say "a bear" and when someone would say "you can't be a bear" she would say "I want to be the person who can turn people into bears, I would be rich" :D

When I was 6 I wanted to be a hitman. Now I work at the department of justice, oh the irony.

When I was 9 I wanted to be a NASA flight controller, not an astronaut, just the controller.

Haha, that's great. :) About the bear thing, did you ever get this forward?

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too. When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yup, gonna be a bear!!

When I was ~8 to 12, I wanted to be like Gyro Gearloose (the inventor from Donald Duck), and make all sorts of cool machines.

after about 12, that split up into either and/or any of:
A) The person who gave humanity interstellar drives
B) Leader of the most uber-army of high tech peace soldiers. They'd be so good they never needed to fight a war, because everyone was so scared of them they just signed the peace treaty anyways (Like the UN, but more effective, and less political nit-picking: PEACE NOW, OR ELSE...).
I now realise that forcing the world into peace with weapons is, if ironic, not entirely beyond reality. A thought which, at times, concerns me.
C) the first Immortal
D) the one to solve the world energy problem (preferably with some sort of zero-point energy device)

I still dream of becoming Immortal (see sig ;) ), I think it would be so cool to just watch history unfold. It would be even more awesome if I could take a time machine to the beginning of time, and see the creation of the universe, and every bit of history that ever happened in it.

Ah, to overcome the existential loneliness of Man... (both as in homo sapiens and as in Male)

what do you want to be when you grow up? hmm??

Some of you may remember a while ago me pondering my educational future, if you don't, I am going to get to go back to school next summer and I was in a quandry as to what I should study.

I don't really "need" a job, but it would be nice to have more money, mostly I just am going because I can and I want to.

Anyway, I have decided that I am going into the mental health field, I can finish my degree in a short 2 years combining my past credits and will be able to work weekends so that I can still stay home with my kids and homeschool and all that crap, I found a hospital that will pay for my tuition so I start work there as a part-time "mental health tech" in November, I will have been there 1 month past the time that you have to before they will pay for your tuition when school starts so that's nice.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?

also, slightly on topic I told my kids today of my plans and they told me what they want to be (not that you guys care)

5 year old- President
3 year old- truck driver

nice. :D


I think your 5 year old would make an excellent President. I bet he even knows how to hold a book properly unlike the current one!


Anyway I don't have much ambition oh just to be Secretary General of the UN. Or head of my own corrupt yet profitable dictatorship. In the unlikely event that these goals will not be realised then I would settle for working with the UN as a Country Director, Working for an NGO-particularly GOAL, The Red Cross, writing policy (international or EU),or working for the department of foreign affairs. Wouldn't mind being an MEP etiher! I was asked to run in the local election but meh local politics isn't my thing at the moment.

Right now I work in International Education, I have just finished my BA and am about to start an MA in International Relations. All while doing Model UN ( in case I never make it to the real UN!)

List of jobs I'm interested in:

Politician
Diplomat
World Traveler (working for National Geographic prehaps?)
Writer
Humanitarian Aid

All of these can imho be combined if I became, say, president. Look out, I'm old enough to run in the 2028 election!

(this referring to: "to overcome the existential lonelyness of man")

You know, That's not such a bad idea.
I've lately noticed that "information overload" is not just a personal burn-out like disease, it also affects society, and scientific research in specific.
Each day, scientists write more scientific literature than a person could read in a month.
This causes scientists to miss information that could be crucial to his own current research, thereby delaying it.
To quote Newton: "We stand on the shoulder's of giants".
But it's hard to climb on a giant's shoulder and advance science if you are not aware of his existence, because you never had time to read an article of him/her

I think that, in the foreseeable future (meaning, our grandchildren may see it), there will be a neural interface, and from there, it's only a small step to a collective humanity-memory, instead of unefficient individual memory.
(Note: memory only, individuality should be retained!)

Contrary to Pompous world, I am being serious (sorry about that :D).

I forgot to mention I also dreamed of being a pyrokineticist (someone who controls flame with his mind). Fire Pwns!

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
It sucks pretty bad right now.

Hey! If you know the words, Sing along!

You're gonna hafta mow the lawn,
Do the dishes, make your bed.
You're gonna hafta go to school until you're seven-teen.
It's gonna seem about three times as long as that

You might have to go to war, shoot a gun, kill a nun.
You might have to go to war, when you get out of school.
Hey cheer up kids, it gets a lot worse.

You're gonna hafta deal with stress
Deal with stress, deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess
When you get back from the war.

Santa Clause does not exist, and there's no Easter Bunny,
You'll find out when you grow up, that Big Bird isn't funny.
(funny, funny, hahahahaha!)

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
It sucks pretty bad right now.

You're gonna end up smoking crack, on your back, face the fact.
You're gonna end up hooked on smack, and then you're gonna die.

And then you're gonna die-ie-ie-ie-ie.

Something for the kids!

I might be able to change a few things then.:) :(

I've changed my mind. I'm content with this time.:)

hmm, when i grow up? Well, as a kid i always wanted to be a zookeeper, studying bio now and going in animalbiology direction. I guess I'd really like to be a cat though- i have a cat and she is sooo spoiled I would love to have her life. I guess i'll see where biology/animalbiology takes me...

You'll be the one taking care of the cats.:p

I hate it when the internet does that.:rolleyes:
It wasn't Jolt this time!:eek:

FD, wouldn't fleeing for your life just bring you closer to your inevitable-yet-aweinspiring epic doom? Thereby furthering the goals of the aforementioned stable boy?

Either way, I'm doomed. *shrugs* At least this way I meet my fate by my own foolish actions. That's how it works in epics, you know.

A Lawyer.

Well, if we disregard reality, I'd definantly want to do something like Jon Stewart or Stephan Colbert.

That'd be so kickass.

Linguistic Anthropologist :]

Disregard reality because it won't happen or because you're just not that funny?:p

What do I want to be when I grow up?

I think it's really more of an "if" question.

If....when....it's all relative...

Me, I never wanted to grow up (and still don't). Sadly, it seems to have happened anyway, when I wasn't looking.

How well can you play a Straping Young Mute Welsh Boy?
*Takes Screenplay to MGM*
Hmm...

Professor of Political Philosophy

I've changed my mind. I'm content with this time.:)
Yeah but, content is for those who gave up caring to the fullest extent!

Hmmm lets see I wanted to be An accountant, then wanted to join the FBI threw accounting route, then I wanted to be an economist, then a teacher, then a computer tecnichian. Went threw all of these after I started College too. Bet you can imagine the money out the window considering all the major changes. and despite it all I ended up as a detention officer.

I want to be a doctor, but I'm just not smart enough. So I'll probably end up working as a paramedic, when I finally haul my ass to school instead of working in one...

Yeah but, content is for those who gave up caring to the fullest extent!

I only gave up caring about what the time in which I live. I found something else to care about.:)

I now want to grow down not up.Ive seen the light and now know we've got it bass ackwards


You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way. Then you
wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.. You get kicked
out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start
work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years until
you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you
party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no
responsibilities, you become a baby, then, you spend your last 9 Months
floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room
service on tap, larger quarters everyday, and finally you finish off as
an orgasm.

I like the way you think. It's crazy enough it just might work.

'When I grow up... I'll be stable, when I grow up I'll turn the tables' (that's the first thing I thought of)

I'd like to be in transport planning. Either that, or translation, and if it's ever a possibility, a film producer. I find that interesting :)

I only gave up caring about what the time in which I live. I found something else to care about.:)
Yeah, i hear you.
I'd probably look to ween myself off.
But i can't.

Please, don't tell me you don't wish to numb feelings, sometimes.

what do you want to be when you grow up? hmm??

Some of you may remember a while ago me pondering my educational future, if you don't, I am going to get to go back to school next summer and I was in a quandry as to what I should study.

I don't really "need" a job, but it would be nice to have more money, mostly I just am going because I can and I want to.

Anyway, I have decided that I am going into the mental health field, I can finish my degree in a short 2 years combining my past credits and will be able to work weekends so that I can still stay home with my kids and homeschool and all that crap, I found a hospital that will pay for my tuition so I start work there as a part-time "mental health tech" in November, I will have been there 1 month past the time that you have to before they will pay for your tuition when school starts so that's nice.

Anyway, what do you want to be? what are you now?

also, slightly on topic I told my kids today of my plans and they told me what they want to be (not that you guys care)

5 year old- President
3 year old- truck driver

nice. :D

i want to have pubic hairs....

Please, don't tell me you don't wish to numb feelings, sometimes.

I have before,and I likely shall again, but not now. Besides, I never said it didn't suck to be me, too.:p But right now it doesn't. It's aaaaaaallll good.:cool::)
