<p>I’m an American that has been traveling the world since I was months old, and have always taken a huge interest in global affairs and Europe specifically. I also grew up with a family in the legal field and took an interest in that at an early age. </p>
<p>Ideally, I would like to work for as a lawyer in Europe, preferably in the UK, Belgium, or France (I know French). I want to be a lawyer in some sector of Government because I also love politics. Maybe like a parliamentary lawyer? Who knows. :)</p>
<p>That is on the somewhat realistic side for me.</p>
<p>If I could have ANY job it would either be something in music (maybe a producter?) or fashion (like a fashion buyer). Just too risky and un-realistic to major in in this economy though :/</p>
<p>I also struggle with the idea of going for my dream vs. aiming for some stable boring (to me) job behind a desk.</p>
<p>I want to be a writer. It’s been my passion since…forever. I remember writing little stories in my fourth grade notebook that the teacher always noted. Well too bad. My English notebook was my blank canvas haha.</p>
<p>Writing May seem boring to many, so I’m sure it’s a bit of a challenge to fathom it being someone’s passion. But here we are.</p>
<p>I am not giving up on my dream anytime soon. I really, really, desperately want to be a screenwriter. I think it’s more realistic to find some type of middle ground though–a journalist? A… Quirky, creative journalist? A… Critic? Food critic, film critic, literary critic, hey, what the heck?</p>
<p>I’m not completely sure… something in the business world. Not finance though and not accounting–I’m a people person, I hate being behind a desk and working numbers all day.</p>
<p>I want to be a high school English Teacher who also works in directing the the high school theatre program! And I wanna be a best selling author, but we’ll see how that part turns out…</p>
<p>At first i wanted to be a psychologist because I always had a thing for helping people emotionally. I always felt the need to ask someone what’s wrong. I would always give advice, and alot of it. But I remember my friend telling me about her parents divorce, and i just kept cutting her off and giving her advice. I grew impacient when she talked. I realized that i gave good advice but a baddddd listener. Then I got intrested on more of the human body than the human mind. I started reading my mom’s old human biology and anatomy college textbooks. And I was fascinated. But I still wanted to be able to give advice because I just loved to talk. And I realized that I could be Family Psychian.</p>
<p>I want to major in Computer Science and Linguistics, and minor in Foreign Relations and Affairs. My dream job is to work for google international, going from country to country and doing what I love. </p>
<p>Is that question for everyone?
My father wants me to get a law degree. He says it doesn’t have to be from a good law school and I don’t have to work as a lawyer or anything…he just wants me to have the degree because he thinks “the system” will screw me over otherwise. I dunno.
They’re not pushing me into any career, though.</p>
<p>My parents have repeatedly said to me, “It’s too bad you don’t want to go into a STEM field”, followed by a story about the latest teenager to win Intel/Siemens/Google Science Fair or design an app and make thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>My grandparents are even less subtle, asking me why I would want to become a novelist. All of my cousins who are in college (three, and they’re all at top 20 universities too…but that’s another issue) are going to be doctors. I have two more cousins who are currently in high school and will likely go to into STEM fields, and the rest are too young.</p>
<p>So yes, I am under a fair amount of pressure.</p>
<p>either a lawyer or an artist (doing commissions for a living?)</p>
<p>I’d like to do something good in the world and create beautiful things/ideas. Maybe discover something in Maths (theorems are so elegant). Though maybe I’d end up going into journalism or something similar.</p>
<p>Forgive me for being that awkward eighth grader on HSL, but I couldn’t resist. I want to be a teacher who writes on the side, and I want a minor or something in vegan nutrition. However, I have four years of high school ahead of me to decide my future. :)</p>
<p>When I was about 6, I wanted to be a ballerina (specifically Ana Pavlova, including the dying-of-pneumonia bit.) After that it was always a writer, and I think that’s still the only career that would make me happy.</p>
<p>I know I want to be a pharmacist, I’m just still deciding on what type of pharmacist. I may be interested in veterinary psychology since I have always loved animals (my dream if I ever get rich is to retire and start an animal sanctuary in Colorado ) </p>
<p>For years I’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon (ever since age 5), but after working in labs I sort of want to be a neuroscience researcher, and neuropsychiatry sounds interesting too. I’d want to do all three, but I don’t think neuropsychiatric surgeon researcher is a job :(</p>
