<p>What do you want to be and how are you going to get there?</p>

<p>I thought it'd be neat to see what everyone wants to be "when they grow up" and how they plan to achieve their goals.</p>

<p>I'm not quite sure what I want to be, but I'm leaning towards journalism. I'd go to a good college, major in english (and double in journ if they had it), and get internships at publications every summer. Then hopefully i would either land a job at a paper or at a magazine. If I worked for a news publication, I'd try to work my way up to becoming a foreign correspondent, and maybe even try to branch into tv, and if I worked at a magazine, I'd write my heart out about the things I love and try to be editor someday.</p>

<p>what about you?</p>

2

<p>I want to work with kids, especially innercity kids. Not sure what for sure I want to do specifically though.</p>

3

<p>I would love to be a special librarian. Actually I would love the job that that woman has in The Mummy working at the ancient artifacts library.</p>

4

<p>a rockstar lol, I'm just joking, have that song stuck in my head and it's not particularly my favorite to have stuck in my head, or anywhere in the vincinity</p>

5

<p>well I kinda want to be Walt Whitman.</p>

<p>I don't know how I'm going to get there.</p>

6

<p>I want to be an aerospace engineer hopefully for Lockheed Martin. I'm planning to do co-op during college to get some experience which will not only enhance my resume but also give me the opportunity to apply my knowledge from the classroom to the real world.</p>

7

<p>I want to be a patent lawyer so I can make lots of $$.</p>

8

<p>Well, I want to be a high school math teacher. Problem is, I suck at teaching.</p>

9

<p>Supersuccessful investment banker. So I'll have enough money to start a nonprofit hedge fund and do my part to improve society. And so I'll be RICH.</p>

10

<p>Pharmacist .</p>

11

<p>lol, so many people want to be investment bankers it seems. I'm thinking of majoring in something I enjoy such as history or something like that, and then if I feel greedy I'll go to law school. :)</p>

13

<p>everything. i'm not sure i could settle down with one job.. could i have a different job every day?</p>

14

<p>teaching at high school or college level, or a job translating literature
will most likely major in french, maybe do linguistics, education, russian</p>

<p>hemingwayisdead: to learn how to be ww himself, just follow him around the neon fruit supermarket -- allen ginsberg style!</p>

<p>"i saw you walt whitman, childless, lonely old grubber.."</p>

15

<p>I'm actually debating on becoming a plastic surgeon.</p>

<p>On one hand, I get to re-sculpt a human body like a piece of artwork, integrating my love for art and medicine. On the other, it's just not useful, even if I do get to play god. Sometimes, people don't deserve to be beautiful.</p>

<p>But the possibility is out there.</p>
