Since I've seen quite a few people with the "omg skool sux" attitude, I'm simply curious as to what the audience here at PSU who still attends school's carrer aspirations are.


Me? Symphony Orchestra.

very nice. I'm sorta old to be still in 'what I want to do when I grow up' mode, but still...aspirations know no age boundaries.

so, conducting or a particular instrument?

Tuba, all the way.

nice. alot of breath control needed for a tuba....any wind instrument really. professional symphony is a very competitive business. hope you've got a bit of a killer instinct in you.

good luck

Oh yeah... really competitive... one day you'll wake up with a clarinet in your back!

Heck maybe you'll wake up with a dead drum in your bed!

Hmm, if I could be anything, regardless of pay, it would be a music composer for games. Though, even though i will work towards that, I doubt it would happen. Playing instruments is fun (I play Clarinet, Sax, Flute, Piano, Guitar and Im working on drums now ;)) but my heart is at writing music.

Im a senior currently, and have no realistic goals in mind. woot.

I'm currently attending Cal Poly, working on a Bachelor's for English and my Certificate for Technical Communications. I want to be a writer (a creative one), but to pay the bills I have chosen to be a technical writer.

I aspire either to:

B: Automotive engineer. Design cars for Ford.

I have a lot of options open to me, considering im in one of the top high schools in VA. Currently my apirations are:

Psychologist- perhaps open one with my best friend who is interested in it as well.
Actor
Journalist
Somethign in communications- IE radio, TV
DJ for a radio station

and of course I would LOVE to be a race car driver. It would be very very hard to get to the Winston Cup level, but I at least want to get a race car for my local dirt track.

I'm only a sophomore, so I have a while to think on it, I'm sure my goals will chance as I get older.

Computers everything! IM going to get a bunch of associate and certifaction degrees from Baker in michigan, then look at the classes at Uof M to see if they ahve a class for designing 3d stuff and scripting for games etc (If not im checking out an oline college just to get the degree or MIT), get every type of real certificatin i can real quick and during/after going around doing every type of job i want. Networking, design, Networking design tehe. Admin and all the other things i want to do for a while! Obviously get craploads of money and by computers. And maybe even design some networks that dont exist yet and revolutionize the gaming industry(Make it easier to help support all hte new crap in htem.And test. Kinda older designs but modernized!). Also single handedly make a crap load of video games. try to bring old computer games back in to hte picture (to help the qalulity of games and to play them agian) and try to make it common for computers to run the old speed and maybe get companies to support releasing boards and parts again so we can customize them again by hand(make things so we can agian somehow withough changing the lv things are at now) to open up board design adn get people involved, maybe. Blah Blah blah! etc. thats not even the half(or even remotely near 1%) of what i want ot do right now but maybe that gives a picture.

I need the money from the financial aid to live off of. Its about my only choice at the moment. So after months of recomendations to do it and my growing situations im finnaly at a point where im actually willing to do it. Since i aint anywhere for some time i thought id take advantage of it.

Right now im just worried about getting into college. I wanna go to MIT. Im only in 8th grade and my grades are meh. Right now im in all the advanced classes. Acc Alg, Acc Earth-Sci. Im really good with science, ok with math. I really need to get better at math, some of my tests have been not so good. My grades for 1st term are AccAlg=A-, AccESci-A-, English=B+ need an A- if i want into honors next term, SocStud=A-, Spanish=A+. I really need to focus on math, science, and english. Hey its a start. I think i either want into science as a career, engineering or life science. Or programming with computers or game design. And i have this special knack with art, i hope that might help me along the way. I used to be in Orchestra at my school, but then quit, the teachers a lesbian whore, seriously, and it takes too much time and effort. I just dont feel like devoting my freetime to something i dont want to do but should seeing it helps getting into college.

my math grade is 90, actually it was prolly like 89.45 so they rounded it, and the only reason i got that is cuz my quizzes and hws are good, my test grades so far are 89, 79, 69, see a trend? I really need to focus on math. Second to do well in science, its a reallly hard class and extra tough teacher, if i take my mind off science for a week then my grade will drop severely, i just cant let my guard down. English is a class where i dont really spend much time on hw. My essays have been meh, B+. I really want a A- on an essay so i can get into honors in 9th grade. Spanish and Social Studies are cake, i dont even think about them. But i do want to improve just a littlle bit so i can get all A- at least in the tougher subjects.

My school pwnt me. First quarter of semester progress report was As and Bs and 3.7 GPA. I have not changed in work level. Mid-first semester: Maybe one A, Bs across the board, and C+ in Honors Biology.

10th grade is owning me. And I'm not stupid, the school is a private school and hellishly hard. And they know it.

i myself have a list of 20 possible careers i could do, but some i dont think i would devote time to, it would take too much time and effort, anythings possible with time and effort

Yeah being a programmer will kinda suck because it will be hard to find jobs. But lots of people are trying to go to some crappy 2 year tech school and get a programming job but they don't have the skills. So I figure if I go get a degree at a 4 year college I'll have a better chance. Hopefully...

Any future engineers or computer-related major-interests, come see me! I go to Cal Poly (in San Luis Obispo, www.calpoly.edu) and we are KNOWN for engineering so much that we lib.arts kids are very much looked-down on. In any case, I can give you a tour of the campus, you can explore the link I've posted, AND you can crash on my couch. Squeeky can verify that it's very comfy. Oh yeah, and I can probably answer a lot of your college questions. :)

Best paying job you can get :ugh: I have a friend that does that very thing and he rakes up to 1000$ all in one night... so he only work like 3 nights a day but he get's paid... ALOT!

On slow nights he still does 500$... Most of it can't really be touched by the goverment because he gets payed 6 dollars and hour wich is the waiter salary and the tips are not included in the salary... so goverment can't touch a pennie of it unless he declares all of his tips...

Good thing I don't hang with those guys too much and most of my friends are ladies eh...
