<p>@halcyonheather, I have the same pipe dream, except replace math with science. That is my dream, but it probably won’t happen because of the job market. I kind of want to stay in the academia bubble, though, if at all possible. </p>
<p>FOR SCIENCE!</p>
<p>Neurosurgery has been my dream for a while, but I’m starting to get interested in Cardiothoracic surgery as well. :)</p>
<p>In elementary school I wanted to be a martial arts dojo owner, but now I want to be a novelist. I’d probably earn more as a martial arts dojo owner than as a novelist.</p>
<p>A more realistic job…like, as in, a job that would pay the bills…I don’t know what that would be…</p>
<p>For the longest time, I wanted to do Political Science and then Law school. But over time that has lost its appeal. Social sciences get boring quickly, I think I only liked them because I did well in class. </p>
<p>So now I’m at a loss, lol. I like physics and engineering, but I don’t like math. I don’t think I’m particularly great at it either (but my teacher vehemently disagrees), so I’m too scared to really commit to that. I thought about doing something with bio/chem and going to med school, but I don’t like bio/chem as much as physics (though I do like them). I’ve also contemplating an economics undergrad and then law school (I’d likely do corporate law / patent law type stuff, not Constitutional Law as I wanted when I was set on Political Science). </p>
<p>Tl;dr I’m leaning towards engineering because I like it best at the moment, but I’m still unsure.</p>
<p>Journalist, so I’ll probably end up either homeless with no job or poor if I do manage to find one. 
But it’s what I love, so I don’t really care how much I make.</p>
<p>I’m still trying to figure that out and dedicated my winter break to it. So far, I know that being a foreign service officer a.k.a. diplomat sounds tempting. The putting-my-life-in-danger part, not really. Also, it’s really competitive from what I’ve heard. </p>
<p>I really like languages. And traveling seems nice. And Culture.</p>
<p>I attended Foreign Policy Classroom at the US dep of state and I fell in love. I really want to become a diplomat to a foreign country. I always knew that I was gonna take classes focused on economics and political science and language in college, but its nice to have a more specific goal to work towards now.</p>
<p>A journalist… I love news, and I can’t imagine being anything else despite what my parents think.</p>
<p>I really want to be an astrophysicist. That is currently the dream. :)</p>
<p>off topic but this is a really creepy thread title</p>
<p>I want to be a pediatric psychiatrist. Part of me, however, thinks it would be cool to do research. Part of me would love to direct. And part of me would love to act.</p>
<p>But, pediatric psychiatrist is definitely the plan.</p>

<p>Haha @Halogen :)</p>
<p>Me? I’m kind of deciding. I’m thinking about Industrial Engineering, Design, or Economics…</p>
