Megan's thread on travelling got me thinking. What do you guys plan to do when you're out of school? What do you want to do as a career? Do you have special plans? Do you want to get married, have kids, etc.? Just curious. :)
As for me, I want to complete my education, though I don't know what I want to do yet. Ecology, biology, web design, graphic design, music, English/other languages, teaching, etc, all interest me. I really want to be an author, but that isn't something that will support me right after college or university/if the books don't sell. Maybe after graduating, I want to travel around the world and learn about different cultures and languages. Some of the countries I most want to visit are Japan, Korea, Germany, Norway, Italy, and Spain. Getting married would be nice. I don't know if I want to have kids (I think babies are ugly) although I think the teenage years of their life would be interesting.
So what do you guys plan on doing?

Well I want to go to college for either web design, computer programming, or graphic design. Stuff like that I just hope I'll make enough money to live.. Of course I want to get married and I want kids ^^ Two at the most though. I would like to travel the world as said on the travelling thread and meet all of my online friends I would like to live on a lake with a little beach since I'm a huge nature lover. Pollution sickens me. And I'll let the rest be surprises ^_^

I would spend my life living in a countryside married with DAVE STRIDER and have kids called John and Jade and sell art/paintings/whatever to earn a living and probably travel the world to search for treasures that no one has yet found and--
Fuck the police I'll be a lazy crippled piece of crap doing nothing like I'm as ambitious as you guys. Wait, of course, I'm just kidding!
I want to be an artist, be those famous people who created Apple and die and make the whole world cry over my death, singer, author (which is most likely never to happen), and stuff. I also want to be Andrew Hussie and create one of the most famous webcomics the internet dimension ever had.

The only thing I've ever wanted to be is an author. <3 Next year I'm taking a year out of school to just write and work, hopefully earn enough to travel for some months and see some things I've always wanted to. Maybe I'll go with a friend or two? I don't want kids, I can't imagine myself with kids. Maybe sometime in the future, but not for ages. But basically I want to get stuff written/published, hopefully find an agent who'll support me, and then I'm applying for university to study English Lit. I refuse to go anywhere other than Cambridge ;u; It's the best in the country and all my life I've been told I can do it. That's the goal c: and I hope the things I do in my gap year will set me apart!
Ultimate goal is to be a published author though. I've wanted to do a lot of things in my life, but this is the one that's always underlied them, and been there ever since I can remember.

I want to be a performing artist. I can't imagine myself doing anything else. The thought of performing for crowds, writing my own songs, and recording music is really all I daydream about. I usually don't tell people lol because they don't take me seriously. I don't think I even told all of you until just now. I want to sing pop music because I've always been obsessed with it. It's my vision, I'd give up anything for it. I want to live in New York City. I NEVER WANT TO GET MARRIED OR HAVE ANY KIDS. I know a lot of people say that and to some it might just be a phase but no it's not for me. I can't picture myself even dating. And kids are just more mouths to feed. Instead, I plan on buying some dogs o_e But my ultimate goals are to A) win a Grammy and B) sell out Madison Square Garden. They say you've 'made it' when you've played the Garden, but that's not really why I want to. I want to because I've been there before, it's a place that's not too far away from my home, and the thought of being up on that stage would make me feel like I've made it not in the industry, but personally. I really want to inspire others, with my performance.
On the way, while I'm still a teen, I want to meet my biggest inspirations. Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Green Day, and Justin Bieber
This is like the most serious post I've written in like 4 months.

In reality, i really dont want to get married. Im Asexual so its basically off the list completely (that if you dont count men out of 80s bands that have probably had they're share of shags over the years). Babies also, no way. No fucking way. I cant take care of myself never mind a child.
I would like a job in art, id like to be up there with the famous ones, like a 21st century picasso or some shit even though i know that will never happen. Ill probably spend my whole life with my music, really that is the only thing that keeps me from topping myself. No joke.
As for living, christ....I get home sick easily. But i still hate the place i live. I think ill stay in England all my life but i will travel other places also, apparently when i was born like my great grandma said something like "she'll travel". Iv always had a fixation on other cultures from being a small child. Ill most probably live in the somewhere like Brighton or Eastbourne because Bolton, honestly its depressing. The only thing id miss is Afflecks Palace though, its the best place ever.
Famous people id like to meet, Robert Smith firstly, for introducing me to a whole new world of music, helping me with my art and just generally being amazing. Simon Gallup of course too, because he makes me laugh, hes sexy and eurghh god so many feels. If like to meet John Taylor too, and Kate Bush.

Uggh I don't really know if I want to go to college but I will probably go anyway when I'm older. I want to /leave/ school forever and never come back.
Really it'd rock to be a lawyer someday and I know I could achieve it but I think I'd suck at it so no use there. I'd also love studying to be a social worker, but the pay is worse than waiting tables and I really don't want to deal with all the horrible stuff I'd have to see, so no way. I also considered motivational speaking, writing, acting etc. but everything I say is controversial so I wouldn't be very motivational, my writing sucks, and I can't STAND all that crap you wear for acting, all the long hours... GAH, WHO KNOWS. At least it's not too crucial to be thinking about careers right now because otherwise I'd end up being a hobo someday.
Oh and I'm going to Madagascar with my grandpa when I'm 19, so that's something planned

I barely have an idea of what to do when I'm older. e_e A career in art would be nice, but those kinds of jobs are not very reliable. I'm looking into being an editor for a book publisher or something along those lines. I'm terrified of the 'real world'. I know I sound like a whiny, scared little kid, but I honestly don't want to leave home. I'm not very independent in public or in unfamiliar places and I freak out when the person I'm with strays from my line of sight. I don't think I'll be ready to handle the workload in college, and I don't even know what classes to take in the first place. Like most of us, I don't want children, because that would be too much responsibility and I don't want a relationship in the first place. Relationships are just scary to me. I've never dated anyone, I've never had anyone 'like' me, and I'm just terrified because I have trouble trusting people.

I can't even handle talking on the phone or paying at a grocery store like I cannot picture myself paying bills or even driving a car. I know I'd crash, which is partially why I want to live in NYC haha. I'm scared of the real world too. But I don't really like being a kid either so I'm just screwed

I have no idea what I'm going to do.
I don't have any special talents or abilities, I couldn't marry, I couldn't have a proper job. Honestly I don't even think I'd survive in the "real world" because I could never stop being a child.
The simple thought of finishing high school terrifies me. I can't see what would happen after that, it's blank. Looking at the future is really hard for me, I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow. That's why I hate thinking about the future, I can't live into the present properly when I think about it.

Well, we /all/ are just kids right now, right? I'm sure you'll all be at least semi-prepared when the time comes.
