What do you really want to do with your life?

<p>I feel like so many high school students on here have been "trained" from childhood to get high grades, excel in school, etc etc so they can one day go to an Ivy and eventually go on to law/med/business school. But what do you really want to do? In a perfect world how would you spend the rest of your life?</p>

<p>As for me, I want to be an editor and publisher of childrens books. Like the next Arthur A Levine.</p>

<p>When I’m older (after a successful law career), I want to own a second hand book store.</p>

<p>I want to discover something new and useful. I don’t even care what field.</p>

<p>I wanna teach people French, pretty much anyone.</p>

<p>I want to maximize potential lols.</p>

<p>I wanna be a billionaire, so ****in bad, buy all of the things I never had.</p>

<p>I wanna be a doctor, but one that spends a lot of time with family and never get called in… so idk what kind</p>

<p>fuck mad bitches</p>

<p>If I could do anything, I’d be in law enforcement, but I’d like to be a profiler for the CIA or the FBI or something.</p>

<p>A professional musician or a bookstore owner.</p>

<p>I want to be an environmental lawyer like Marshall Eriksen and save the planet. To those who understand my reference, I request the highest of fives.</p>

<p>But really, I do want to be an environmental lawyer. :P</p>

<p>International Socialist Revolution. A complete and radical change from the system of rich and poor, have and have-not, oppressor and oppressed, to a system of global equality, where all might eat, all might drink, all might have shelter and safety and adequate medical care and self-actualizing work.</p>

<p>However, “in a perfect world” (as per the question), there would be no need for revolution. In that case, I would have little purpose. Maybe be a writer? Anyway, the world isn’t perfect, and I’m driven to helping the poor and toppling the rich. Social justice and human rights are the future.</p>

<p>Justice is so, so subjective. And rights are just dumb.
But hey, nice to see a Karl Marx fan.</p>

<p>

You’re entitled to your opinions, just as everyone is entitled to their rights.</p>

<p>

He’s pretty good, though not my favorite socialist/communist.</p>

<p>I’d like to pursue a career in Finance/International Finance. I’d really like to travel the world and experience other cultures while making an impact on the lives of others. Ultimately I’d love to finish my life knowing I’ve made a positive impact on the world (whether through politics, humanitarian efforts, or so other way).</p>

<p>I want to <em>finish</em> learning Spanish, become a doctor (surgeon probably) and practice medicine in South America for doctors without borders. My friends think I’m absolutely insane. :stuck_out_tongue: But I really really want to. </p>

<p>Then, eventually, I want to travel all over the world. Just for fun.</p>

<p>^You should become one of those “Doctors on Wheels” people. :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well then I can argue that the entitlement of rights is an opinion.
I am entitled to my opinion, so I can say people aren’t entitled to their rights.</p>

<p>

You’re looking at justice the wrong way then.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I wouldn’t go with the “wrong” way, more like the “unpopular” way.</p>

<p>^No, I meant the wrong way. </p>

<p>Justice is pretty black and white when you really think about it. If you don’t think so you either have the wrong conception of justice (in which case you should label it something else so as not to mislead people) or are not thinking about it correctly.</p>
