Age old question: what do you want to be when you "grow up?"

<p>I always wanted to be an astronaut. Since I was in grade 1.
Now I want to be a polymath and an astronaut.
The two fields overlap, to quite an extent ^_^</p>

<p>computer engineer</p>

<p>Performer-esque type of girl. Singer/Indie Film Director</p>

<p>a hairy lemon. duh.</p>

<p>This question haunts me, I am a rising senior. I still have no clue what to major in, and what I would like to be! NOT COOL! LOL</p>

<p>Astrophysicist :slight_smile: with all my heart. I’m dead set on becoming one and graduating with a Ph. D from MIT. I guess if I wind up hating multivarible calculus and relativity, i’ll become an engineer.</p>

<p>Well ,at 57 I am pretty grown up . I am a mother of 4 ,married to someone who is brilliant ,and graduated from Harvard . I 've been a teacher but mostly stayed at home with the kids . I am looking forward to grandbabies .</p>

<p>I don’t really keep a life plan, because when (and it will) something goes wrong, well, let’s just say I’d rather be flexible than tied to a rock…</p>

<p>I mean yeah there is a way I’d like to end up.</p>

<p>All dreams accomplished, happily married to the girl of my dreams.</p>

<p>But I keep the minor details flexible.</p>

<p>A lawyer. I’ve wanted to ever since I was little. I’ve changed what I thought I wanted to be many times, but now that I intern at a law office, I have realized that it’s exactly what I want to do.</p>

<p>I’ve always wanted to sell ice cream on the beach. All year long. Somewhere warm and sunny. With free ice cream for me, obviously.</p>

<p>Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to be something in the medical field. Now, I’m thinking some sort of surgeon, either neurosurgeon or cardiac, hopefully.</p>

<p>I want to be happy.</p>

<p>@Ghostt, that is very lovely. I want to turn that into a poem.</p>

<p>@schoolisfun: I like your answer (:</p>

<p>In an ideal world, I’d be a famous movie making billionaire with a fancy schmancy Porsche and a giant mansion made out of dark chocolate!</p>

<p>However, this isn’t an ideal world. <em>sob</em></p>

<p>I’ll just become a computer engineer. </p>

<p>Besides, the chocolate would melt anyway.</p>

<p>something in the forensics field. either forensic anthropology or biology. But biology is pretty general. I’ll figure it out in the future.</p>

<p>@wilddreams, find a career in International Medical Ethics or something. There must be an organization that brings doctors to countries where certain practices aren’t allowed but would save lives.</p>

<p>My ultimate dream would be to be a theatrical or film composer or director. That would be wonderful. That would make me so happy :slight_smile: but since it’s difficult, I’m thinking of being a psychologist or going into music therapy. I’m also interested in screen/playwriting. I’d love to do something in art.</p>

<p>I want to be a teacher in an inner city school. Then I would like to start my own club/ safe haven where I could help out teens (especially girls) with the struggles o everyday including self esteem, relationships etc.</p>
