So, little boys and girls, what do you want to be when you grow up?

<p>engineering consultant/business owner</p>

<p>Surgeon (General surgery or cardio-surgery or neurosurgery)</p>

<p>I’m kind of in the same boat as @LosingCrayon. I really want to be a math teacher and/or a math professor, but the medical field also has my heart. My new-found love of math has made me want to teach it. I just want to be a teacher.</p>

<p>Physicist (Hopefully researcher in Particle Physics and then professor).</p>

<p>@tacoperson123‌ @LosingCrayon‌ Why not biomedical engineer? You can do math while making legs.</p>

<p>Teaching math just seems more appealing to me. I’m probably going to get a math degree and get my teaching certificate, along with completing the prerequisites for Med School. If I change my mind, then I could probably go. </p>

<p>I’m gonna be the guy that makes quantum computing go mainstream.</p>

<p>I’ve aways found that to be a strange question. First off, it implies that adulthood- or, more precisely, employment- is what definitively educes being. Secondly, it asks you to implicitly reify yourself, to cast yourself as a concretized “what” instead of a dynamic “who.” Linguistic imprecision, or a reflection of society’s ingrained existential hegemony? I’d argue both.</p>

<p>But to get to the heart of the matter: I’d like to be somewhere at the intersection of space-time geometrization, topological abstraction, metaphysics, and the mathematics of reality. Wherever that may be. </p>

<p>@abstract1‌, you’re so abstract.</p>

<p>@tacoperson123 lol, well things are always better in the abstract, aren’t they? :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>@abstract1: ALWAYS.</p>

<p>What I really want to do with my life: professional author</p>

<p>What I’m thinking of doing in college so I have a relatively solid backup plan if that falls through: currently torn between journalism, chemical engineering, psychology, and pharmaceutical sciences of some sort</p>

<p>Hopefully I’ll be the next Rockefeller</p>

<p>@piarobvio‌ you should look into musical/audio engineering :)</p>

<p>I am going to either be:
a school guidance counselor
a registered dietitian
or a writer for Elle, Vogue, or Harper’s Bazaar</p>

<p>@tacoperson123‌ same here (except the med school part)! i would love to be a middle or high school math teacher. my math teacher during my sophomore year inspired me to become a math teacher and ever since then, my dream hasnt changed :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I want to do so much in this world, I can’t just choose ONE THING @-) 8-> :((</p>

<p>I want to do something that won’t interfere with my whole life. Like some office job like accounting. But at the same time I want to do something that makes a difference, something that gives my life value like a doctor or science researcher or something. But I’ve settled on nursing because that’s what my parents want me to do. If it were up to me I’d want go into pharmacy. </p>

<p>I’m trying to become a front end web designer. </p>

<p>It’s between neuroscientist and foreign aid worker… I really want to do both though. And write but that can be on the side or later on regardless</p>
