What are some of your dreams & aspirations? How do you want to 'change' the world?

<p>As I said in <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/938705-lets-see-majors.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/938705-lets-see-majors.html&lt;/a&gt; I want to major in ground level basket weaving. Now, due to the discussion between MrZapz and leafblade1354, aka Benny, I have changed my idea and I will do underwater basket weaving. This is because it will open more doors after college, and I will be able to still do ground level with an underwater degree.</p>

<p>I want to make baskets that people can use and then put things like cotton (MIT’s supposed minor in the thread), gold, and etc in. I would be helping others while making baskets and making some mula.</p>

<p>^great choice! Underwater basket weaving is way better than ground level weaving. With the economy improving at this rate, an underground basket weaving degree will open a lot of job opportunities.</p>

<p>sorry, I meant underwater.</p>

<p>I would like to get a nursing degree, work for a few years, and maybe go back to school and obtain an M.D. After completing residency I would like to travel around the world doing humanitarian work and of course buy the parents a nice house :slight_smile: Still not sure if marriage is for me or not!</p>

<p>Go to an ivy league school for both undergrad and grad school, end up with either an MBA or a JD then become extremely successful as a CEO, becoming revolutionary in corporate America, or a prominent lawyer. It is so hard to decide!</p>

<p>Bike Across America before finishing High School, Then Full-ride at well-respected Non-Ivy school, Masters, JD/PhD, Race in the Tour de France & play in the World Cup, Teach for America Program, Build Hogwarts School, build schools in 3rd world countries, along with Clean Water for Haiti Project. Settle down for a career as an author, journalist (primarily sports), teacher, coach, and/or lawyer. Retire with a humongous library, reading often, volunteering (Peace Corps/AmeriCorps), involved with grandkids activities. I have quite a bit!</p>

<p>Find something that satisfies me, consumes me, and do that for the rest of my life. Also, be respected. Enough money to live an upper middle class lifestyle in a decent area. Don’t care about power or family.</p>

<p>I want to save the Republic.</p>

<p>I want to help teenagers overcome their issues with body image and possibly open an anorexia/bulimia clinic. </p>

<p>My dream is to go to Brown as an undergrad and Princeton as a graduate. :)</p>

<p>

Now whenever I hear that, I think of the president from Fallout 3. :/</p>

<p>My dream or aspiration is to become a very successful businessman and own my favorite soccer club Arsenal FC.</p>

<p>All of you are just doing what the world tells you to do.</p>

<p>What would we be doing if “the world” wasn’t influencing us in any way?</p>

<p>Don’t know about you guys, but I’d still be finding something that satisfies me, consumes me, and doing that for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>^^ I actually followed this blog for a period of time that was about “the art of non-conformity.” The blog definitely had some interesting points, but I just found more appeal to “what the world tells me to do.”</p>

<p>JamesGold, from what I’ve read, you can make your own blog and travel the world. :stuck_out_tongue: Or at least that’s what the guy in that blog I just shared is doing.</p>

<p>I want to be in the medical field of some sort do that I can donate lots of money to help fight hunger while still being able to live well. I don’t really want to “change the world”</p>

<p>I want a minimalist house that I designed myself that is super cool with hidden rooms and doors. My house will be filled with lots of cool things. I want to travel around the world and be on the amazing race (not likely). I want to be married with children.</p>

<p>I admit I don’t have the real answers. Maybe my dream is to die naturally without complications.</p>

<p>I wish to be an agent of radical social change. With my life, I shall seek out the poor and strive to bring them up out of poverty. I wish to fundamentally change social institutions to eliminate poverty. This would also eliminate great affluence, but I find it more reasonable that everyone have all that they need and a little more, than so few having everything, and so many having nothing. Think James Connolly.</p>

<p>Two possible paths: </p>

<p>1) This is the more ambitious one – live in Western Europe after attending college and law school in the U.S., where I might work with intellectual property/patent law in the E.U. </p>

<p>2) Move to a Western European country, settle down comfortably at home and take up a freelance job, maybe something to do with computing and languages, while caring for family and kids.</p>

<p>Either way, I would really love to be somewhere in Europe. :)</p>

<p>Assit in discovering the cure for MS or discovering the origin of MS (genetically).</p>

<p>I don’t really know yet, although I’d like to go into advocacy. I don’t want kids and I don’t want to get married, although having a long-term significant other is an attractive notion. I don’t know what my dreams and aspirations are (well I do, but they change all the time). These are some things I’d like to dabble in, though – </p>

<p>a) work for a humanitarian rights non-profit
b) become a professor at a well-established university
c) work for a low-income oriented non-profit
d) write for textbooks
e) get a PhD</p>

<p>Take over the world. And then make the french grow some balls.</p>
