Do you know what you want to do someday? Do you already have a job? Do you have ideas about a college degree you want and then what you would want to go into later? Discuss!
Bethany Meckle
I used to want to be a vet… can't stand blood, though. I used to want to be a computer scientist… but that's not for me either. Now, I want to go into communications… we'll see where that goes. :)
Actually, I may be hired already as a website and graphic designer, though, down the road. That's a long story, though. And the company doesn't even exist. :)
Andrew
It don't. It does not exist? Ah long story. ok. yes I have an idea of what I want to do when I grow up.
Bethany Meckle
Yeah, my cousin told me he wants to start a business selling things to farmers. He may have hired me already to do his website and any graphic/advertising design. He'll graduate college this winter, though, so it may be a while before he goes anywhere with this business. :)
So, what is it you want to be?
Andrew
evil eye Be a farmer. :P
Bethany Meckle
Uh… huh?
Bethany Meckle
Cousin. Ah, gotcha. :P
BREAKING NEWS! It's...ah...nobody important. nevermind.

Dani(elle)

Mommy's Helper
I want to be a mom when I grow up! I also want to be a professional cake decorater and baker. :)
Ian R.2
I would love to be a Major League Baseball player. Of course I don't really see that happening, so I think I'll go with meteorology. :P
Mommy's Helper
That would be fun, too! I really like baseball. Especially when I play with Joseph (though we don't really follow any of the rules exactly) because I usually do better than him. (We don't keep score. :)
Ian R.2
Baseball is my all time favorite sport! (Unless you count the Bible Bee. :)) I've been playing it for 7 years and it never gets old. :)
Mommy's Helper
BB isn't exactly a sport…. Yes, baseball is mine too! (Unless you count races… because I really only race with Joseph and Elisabeth and I usually win :)
Ian R.2
I can tell you like to win. :)
Madi
I'm a piano teacher right now. I'm getting my BA in Music so I can homeschool and I want to be a wife. :)
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
I would love to ranch (yes, it's extremely different than farming) and be a mom. Before that happens, though, I would like to teach some piano and in my wildest dreams I even have thought about doing a bakery, and Alaska state law would make that easy out of our home!
Sarah B.
I want to: Be a stay at home-mom, sister, wife, daughter, Horse and dog trainer (that is just dream), Artist … and gobs of other things…
Cryptologist
I teach piano and violin and work as a musician (gigs, songwriting, sibling quartet, etc.) I am also taking filmmaking more seriously (preferably acting), although I don't know if I would make that much money off of it! :P
Aside from the Arts, I teach swimming lessons. Awesome job!
And I've always been a Real Estate Agent at heart… I almost sold the house right out from under the family at 10 (they never forgave me for such a dastardly deed! Just kidding! We were moving out of state and I almost sold the house for us.), I helped with selling my grandparent's house, and I found the house we live in currently. ;) So yeah… I think I might get my Real Estate License some day.
As far as college goes… I always say that a degree is not "necessarily necessary". :P However, I enjoy learning and CLEPing on my own, so Lord willing, I will have 15 credits very soon here.

Same here- I have mixed feelings on it, but I know exactly what I would take if I went to college.
Cryptologist
Right. ;) And what would that be? Music? ;) Same here.
In It Not Of It
I've always wanted to go into music….like play violin professionally…but since I havent had lessons for like 5 years since we moved into the country…..probably wont happen.
@noah- I would seriously endorse a movie made by you ! that would be like hilarious !!
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
Hi, you're still here!
Christian Alexander
I'm a tour guide, park monitor, cashier, and janitor at a small creation science museum a couple miles from where we live. I couldn't ask for a better job. =)
I'm taking classes in software engineering and web development, so that's the field I would ultimately like to get into. Basically, that means I would make stuff like this forum that we're using now to communicate with one another, the programs that you run on your computer, the websites you visit, and other cool stuff like that. ;)
SavedByGrace
I'm a receptionist at my dad's school for kids with emotional and behavioral disorders. I don't plan on keeping that job for long, considering my great introvertedness. :P
In It Not Of It
that job would be torture for me………I never come across right on the phone : /
Christian Alexander
It pretty much is torture for him. xP
SavedByGrace
Augh… tell me about it. I probably sound so incompetent to everyone I talk to… :P
correction: "everyone to whom I talk"
SavedByGrace
Grr. Beat me to it.
Christian Alexander
And it doesn't help that he has to get up at like 5:30 every morning. xD
In It Not Of It
same here……i even dread getting on the phone with family…….
SavedByGrace
Yeah… Since my internal clock was thrown off last week, I've actually caught myself sleeping on the job a few times in the past two days. O.o
SavedByGrace
Same here! Just ask him^^^… :P
Christian Alexander
xD Yes. Every time I call home and he picks up it's like, "Uh…. hello…..okay…silence….okay….umm….alright, bye."
SavedByGrace
Ahm. Yeah, I guess that about sums it up.
In It Not Of It
yeah….i have like long pauses in the middle of trying to explain something…..and its always the MOST awkward when you pick up the phone andd you dont know who it is, and then they treat you like an old friend………
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
stares How could you even consider that as a job in the first place? o.O
SavedByGrace
Because I get paid. Other than that, it really isn't much of a job. More like a tortuous chore. :P
In It Not Of It
money somehow does make introverts act like extroverts

Only Bible Bee does that to me :P
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
Working in a hospital would be an awful job, too. I hate hospitals.
In It Not Of It
bible bee is just awesome and needs to be held 12 times a year :)
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
One month each, right? :)
In It Not Of It
yup! wouldn't that be like totally awesome???!???!
Cryptologist
The weird thing is that I have never wanted to work in a healthcare situation (doctor, nurse, whatever!). I am very sensitive to others and I love helping/working with people… but I could never imagine myself as a doctor. :P
MilesChristiSum
Then go for EMS, Jk, partly. lol
Cryptologist
Being that my dad is a fireman paramedic, I know enough to make me dangerous. :P
In fact, I've had the opportunities to take care of some minor emergencies… so… I guess I really can't get away from the healthcare stuff. :P
MilesChristiSum
so you know what its like and still don't like it?????
Dani(elle)
