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

<p>The CEO of a biotech company I found that will specialize in cosmetic and prenatal epigenetic therapies. (See, I have a plan! … and the venture capitalists on this thread are free to invest…)</p>

<p>That, or a trauma surgeon. (A “chop doc”)</p>

<p>I really want to have a career in medical field such as a orthopedic surgeon or a medical scientist. Thats something i had in mind since i was in pre-k, but i always go through a phase where i want to be something completely different like a u.n. ambassador, President of the U.S., or a famous singer. But i’m relying on the med field and see where it goes from there.</p>

<p>The question I ask is what does LIFE want me to be when I grow up?</p>

<p>^ take control of your own life !! xD</p>

<p>dream jobs: novelist, teaching creative writing at a university, musician, photographer
but more realistic is teaching english or music
i would like to teach english in japan or latin america though too.</p>

<p>dream jobs: [successful] art historian, archaeologist, writer [esp. journalist], anything purely academic
most likely job: lawyer.</p>

<p>I’d like to be an orthodontist.</p>

<p>Show/Concept Writer for a theme park.</p>

<p>Research professor.</p>

<p>Doctor. Either a cardiologist, psychiatrist, or oncologist. If not a doctor, maybe a lawyer.</p>

<p>Study Public Policy and Economics, then work in a non-profit organization protecting human rights.</p>

<p>Well I wanted to be tall, rich and handsome. Now that I am 53, beginning to think it is not going to happen…</p>

<p>Federal prosecutor in hate crimes---->Circuit Level Judge----->Solicitor General/Attorney General------->Supreme Court Justice.
OR ACLU lawyer------>Congressman—>Governor. (And if the American people stop being so whimsical, President)
I have high dreams, obviously. But this is what I want, not what will happen. But the first path is the one I want to follow.</p>

<p>@Political A minority presient (you’re asian, right)!!! Pshh… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: Just kidding!! You’d be a GREAT President!!</p>

<p>I thought the question was, how old do you want to ne when you “grow up” and I was like, wow, that’s deep. </p>

<p>My answer to that one is >97.
My answer to the real question; I want to go into law, or something political, maybe congress or something, working for the UN or state dept would be cool too </p>

<p>possible career choices:</p>

<ol>
<li>Neurosurgeon - neurology has always fascinated me</li>
<li>Oncologist</li>
<li>Medical scientist - with my research experience, I find research amazing</li>
<li>Med school professor</li>
<li>CEO of a bio tech company, emphasis on computational chemistry/drug development</li>
<li>A pure chemist who is principal investigator of a good sized lab</li>
<li>Biomedical engineer</li>
</ol>

<p>Obviously, i’m not exactly sure yet, but from a young age I couldn’t see myself doing anything besides medicine. It may change, hopefully not.</p>

<p>Fighter pilot. Then when I get old I want to do something in politics like lobbying or working on campaigns.</p>
