Working with nanoscience. I've wanted to do that since I was in 8th grade. And I hopefully will even be able to achieve it. :) The university I'm going to next year does research in it.

I was going to go with the "living off daddy's trillions" but since that's been inconsiderately stolen....
Maybe an incredibly attractive, talented actor who only gets given good parts in good films with incredibly hot female leads?

In my experience I found that most women just like to lie there anyway so it might as well be virgins and hey I'd be getting paid to share my cocksmith talents.

I'm not a big fan of having to answer questions if I find they're dumb question. That, combined with a terrible fear of public speaking (I have a lot of trouble speaking to groups of more than three or four people in a non-social setting), makes me not want to have to teach. I guess I wouldn't mind doing a seminar where I don't feel like I'm lecturing to uninterested people.

Leader of a nation. Failing that, I'll settle for either forensic psychologist or clinical psychologist.
Starfleet captain, preferably commanding the Enterprise but I'll go for another ship instead.
Failing that completely impossible scenario, either an Admiral in the U.S. Navy or President of the United States. Preferably both in that order.

Well I just don't think my voice is that low pitched to be a radio talk show host. Every male talk show host I've heard has this low smooth sounding voice, and I don't.
Barrister.
Currently studying a law degree, with guaranteed acceptance onto the Legal Practice Course (which goes towards qualifying as a solicitor), so a solicitor is more likely. I'd be happy with either, but would prefer barrister. The problem is the insane cost involved, and the very small likelihood of actually making it as a barrister.
