<p>The classic question: what do you want to be when you "grow up"?
Do you guys have any idea of your future career?</p>
<p>Me</a>, without the dying part.</p>
<p>Or a writer or journalist.</p>
<p>When I grow up, I want to be famous; I want to be a star; I want to be in movies.</p>
<p>I'll probably go into economics/finance/international business. But I don't have a job description planned yet.</p>
<p>It would be really awesome to be a travel photographer. But I want to actually make money.</p>
<p>A wedding planner.. But if I'm in a realistic mood, a biomedical or chemical engineer.. lol</p>
<p>Detective, of course!</p>
<p>But that's totally not realistic. </p>
<p>I always hated this question when I was little, and still hate it now. How in the world am I suppose to be realistic and answer what I want to do? It's more of a question for a college student. </p>
<p>Once, a co-worker of my dad asked me this question (I was 10), and I told him I don't know. Then the guy gave me a lecture on how I am going to fail in life because I don't know what I'm going to become when I grow up, and I am already 10 years old. Then he bragged to me that his son (who was 7) and is determined to be a fire fighter. </p>
<p>Another thing bugs me about this question is that sometimes little kids gives really freaky answers. Like a three year old telling you he wants to become a lawyer or nuclear engineer. I'm not saying that these kids can't, it's just that how can a three year old understand what a lawyer or nuclear engineer does. And somehow these lawyer/nuclear engineer determined kids are supposely going to be the most successful.</p>

<p>Haha the first thing I thought of also. Stupid song's way too overplayed on the radio.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, probably some type of engineer.</p>
<p>^ Parents think that they'll become successful because they are supposedly driven. They apparently have goals (as if the parents didn't influence these "goals" at all...). </p>
<p>Astronautical engineering sounds fun. If that doesn't work, I could always work in the defense department or an airline or automobile firm.</p>
<p>omg, I thought of that too! but actually, I will be in the Foreign Service, work in the State Dept, or something like that... Politics :D</p>
<p>Ideally, I would be Secretary of the Treasury or Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve. But I would be cool with being a professor, lawyer, or almost any position in the Fed. :) I'll probably go into business/personal financial advising for a while first, but I'm not planning to stay there.</p>
<p>Hmmmm, a field biologist or some sort of on-site trauma surgeon. Certain branches of physics also appeal to me. Ideally I'd like to have a very science-oriented job where I can learn a lot and be outside. I dread being stuck indoors for extended periods of time...</p>
<p>Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve? I hope your a 4.0 student...</p>
<p>I'm contemplating whether I should be a radiologist; I know I want to get into the medical field.</p>
<p>I am grown up... what am I now?</p>
<p>computer science and business and law = Bachelor in computer science and Masters in law and business (MBA)</p>
<p>A child/adolescent Psychiatrist or a cardiothoracic surgeon :D</p>
<p>I want to own a 5-Star hotel.</p>
<p>Surgeon? Maybe? Some kind of doctor. Probably. Hopefully.</p>
<p>Hmm. <em>Glances at username</em> How about an elasmobranch researcher?! :D That sounds like fun. Freediving with sharks, studying their biology, tracking them, watching the flying great whites breach, all that fun stuff that would terrify my mom.</p>
<p>As of right now, I really want to be a teacher</p>
<p>A kid again</p>
<p>Architect :)</p>
