Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask you all a simple question, what is your current occupation and/or career? If you are a student, what would you like your career to be?

I am a high school student who wants to be something along the lines of a 2D animator, comic book artist, or voice actor.

Zag! In fact, I just checked out a book helping me out to decide a career. 

I always get scared because I never think about my future. Well, I would LOVE to be a Video Game Designer, Artist, basically the stuff you want. I love video games, drawing, and super heroes so yeah.

I have decided I will work my way to get a Computer Arts Designer Degree or whatever it's called. But I don't have much patience with computers. So that question is also unanswered for me.....

I'm. between my undergraduate degree which I got in December and my first graduate degree which I still applying to colleges for.

Eventually, I'm going to be a psychologist. Before that I'll be a therapist for some time.

I have no idea where I should be in America. Elementary school? I'm 11. 

That is because I am not American. (Please tell me)

Dream job: Chef?

4th-5th grade.

5th-6th grade actually.

Current occupation: Student 

Desired career: Author, Artist, Voice Actor, Animator

I'm still busy finishing my master's at the moment. I also really don't have an idea what I want to do afterwards. Or rather: way too many ideas and way too little desire to choose between them. Though I am at the moment seriously considering pursueing a phd in my field after I finish, and just see what turns up on my path after that. Ask me again next week and I might give a different answer though.

What's your degree in? And what are you getting your masters in?

My bachelor degree is in cultural anthropology and development sociology, and so is my masters.

If all goes as planned I'll be getting my BBA this December. From there, I will either go for a Masters in Accountancy or a Juris Doctor.

I've become very interested in auditing and fraud detection, so...

Currently student, my dream job would be a musician or a writer, but I'm not stupid so I'll probably end up getting a math major.

A street/parlor magician.

My dream job would be to become a proper full-time writer, so to get there I'm currently struggling my way through an engineering degree.

Student

Aspirations Police officer writer game desginer

Not sure if you mean high school or college, but pro tip: you don't need a degree to be a cop. The only use is if you want upwards promotability to state or federal agencies. A lot of people try to tell you that you need a criminal justice degree and it's bullshit.

Well there goes my fun for the day

He is; he's just a classy one.

He's a classic man.

Trauma Doc or Surgeon. Surgeon for more moneyz and more cutting people.

Cutting more people? Does that mean you already cut people?

EDIT: Oh wait, that's what happened to Ryder.

I'm sure it has to do with the Judaism

You know, I've always wanted to be a director. In my opinion it's a lot more fun to organize something than to participate in it, plus those silly actors wouldn't be able to direct a damn movie.

But if that doesn't work out, being a voice actor is my second choice. I have a pretty damn good voice and a lot of people say I could be a narrator for documentaries and shit. Perhaps I could... When I'm an adult that is, it'd be kinda strange if a 14 year old narrated a nature documentary.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I could also be a screenwriter or an author, but that requires creativity and an ability to write; things I lack.

EDIT EDIT: Also have two back-up plans in case any of my other plans fail: Two of my electives in school are Webpage Design and Marketing. I could be a salesman or a webpage designer, obviously. And if all of my plans fail, I'll work in a dead-end job and live a shitty life... Ah, the American dream.

That's weird. I would have swore you were older.

"In my opinion it's a lot more fun to organize something than to participate in it."

You have obviously never been to a Kung Fu movie. Or a horror movie. Or a battle scene from LOTR. Or a Jack Nicholson. Or a porno.

For some reason, I expected you would mention something about pornography.

Just because you're a mother doesn't mean you can't or don't do those kinds of things. Heck, one of my best friends' mother allowed him to watch unrated movies which displayed nude women. Anyone is capable of anything.

I simply expected you to make a joke or make a remark about it. I'm not disappointed.

If I ever take up acting, the horror movie villain is something I'd like to do, the more cartoonishly evil the better. The one role every actor wants to have at some point in their lives. The one role Nicholas Cage does every time he's on. Being the hero or the comedy relief is fun, but after I become the crazy slasher. I'll be able to quit knowing that I've reached the very peak of any and all entertainment I can achieve as an actor.

Like The Joker?

Something less mentally toxic. Like Freddy Kreuger or the good 1/3 of the dads from The Shining. Hell, if the other actors are kept in the dark about the situation and would actually be jumpscared, even something without lines or attitude, like a Xenomorph, would be fun to do.

Like... Horror Improv?

They would still have the scripts, but it would be a real reaction because they're mostly kept in the dark. Like the Chestburster scene in Aliens, except the whole movie is the chestburster scene.

Far too late to reply, but here it goes:

Yeah, those'd be fun, in fact I'd be sure to sneak in a creator cameo or even portray one of the characters that doesn't require much acting ability.

That would sure be something. A porn director who cameos in everything he does. Your stage name should be something like "Wenkin' Tarrantino" or something cameo-director-ey.

Goddammit, all-nighter Chris didn't notice the part about pr0n. Nah, I meant the other stuff, I could be like Hitchcock or Tarantino. But probably more like Hitchcock, I'm one fatass motherfucker.

Though I could also be, like, the pizza delivery guy or the landlord... Yeah, that'd lead to some se-*THIS HAS BEEN CENSORED BY THE PR0N MINUTEMEN; PROTECTING YOU FROM PR0N AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. NOW ANOTHER PR0N0 SHOOT NEEDS YOUR HELP. HERE, I'LL MARK IT ON YOUR MAP*

Well, shit.

Here it is (starting where Sent started it), but on RegularTube.

Thx, m8.

Currently a History major with intent to go to law school.

Also just quit my job at Arby's today, so currently unemployed.

I'm currently in my final year of high school but I'm going to go into game design once I graduate. If that doesn't work, I'll look towards becoming a journalist. And if that backfires too, I'll become a pilot. I flew in a flight simulator once, and the supervisor said I was really good for someone flying a plane for the first time.

Currently in CO-LEDGE, and basically homeless.

I REALLY wanted to be a game designer, but realized I was #2stupid2code (I got novice skills, though.), now trying to be in HR or PR because I realized I'm pretty cool with people.

Second dream job was to work in a warehouse and move boxes from one place to another (like in AlwaysSometimesMonsters).

Living with people who like keeping me around.

So yeah, my current Career is Professional Moocher.

Hey, tetris is the shit.

It's really easy, and there's no possible way I could fuck up.

It's all forklifts, clipboards, and stuff these days. It's an especially fuck-uppable job.

Not if we use simple commands and hand power!

"Tim!"

"YES."

"Move these boxes on to that truck!"

"K. *Proceeds to move boxes for an hour*"

Pretty sure they'll make you use a forklift or some other semi-complicated lifting utensile for most of it. The employer for Box Co. would get less health insurance costs and a higher boxes-lifted-per-person quotient.

Well, I did say it was a dream job. I'm not trying to be that realistic.

College, though I have a summer/break job. I'm studying to be a physical therapist, but that astrophysics degree is also kind of tempting.

Current Career: Head of English Faculty (Teacher)

Desired Career: Dinosaur, Highwayman or some combination of the two.

I did English at Uni and dropped out/was kicked out too, I didn't really enjoy it there but like it a lot more now, that sounds hyper stressful! I guess when the children are a bit older you could always return to give teaching a try? I cheated a bit and went to China where it's much easier to teach English than in the UK or America but I think being a parent is a lot more difficult than being a teacher because teachers get the wonderful experience of saying goodbye to their children at the end of every day :D I am sure after looking after 2 children 24/7 you'll find it easy to look after a group of them 8/5 :D

Entrepreneur.

I wish to become a personal chef of my own business. However, I feel the best culinary school to accomplish my goal is Kaiser University in Talahasee ,Florida

Internist, Family Practitioner, or failing all else, DO.

Ideally, get both degrees to practice wherever, whenever. Cuba looks fun.

Dr. Stryker?
