Your Dreams and Aspirations

Post » Thu Dec 09, 2010 12:40 am

I have, in the eyes of some, a slightly boring dream. My main dreams are going to college to major in computer science. I want to master in computer science eventually. I will probably get my bachelors degree and go to college part time afterwords. I have a love for computers and technology that I have had since I was in the 3rd grade, and I know this is what I want to revolve my life around.


Same here :celebration: I would love to have a gaming related job, working in Beth or Bioware is dream worthy I guess ;) But if for some reason I decide not to follow a career in the gaming world (can't :sadvaultboy: ) it will be related to computers in some way.

Other than that have a family, a nice house and hopefully a nice income :)

i want to become like Mr.House.... I kid you not. I will find a way to make money, then with that money conquer corporations!

Wait, im talking about Google, EA, and Activision. My bad....





But to be more serious, I always thought the dea of living in a tiny cabin house in the midle of no where that I could just write books in would be nice.

My dream is to become a somewhat well-known freelance artist. I love to draw and paint, so it would be awesome to get payed for it. I also want to visit (and possibly move to) Sweden some time in the future.

I want to own a dress.

Seriously though, I want to be a great uncle one day. Job wise, anything I enjoy that makes me feel productive (which would be many things, so it is not a big issue).

I am going to college for Sociology/Political Science. Not to dwell into politics (so don't bring it up) but I really want to work somewhere in the government, whether it be at the local, state, or federal level. For being 17 years old, I really am into my AP Government class. And to me politics is interesting. So I hope I can get a good career to be successful but not become spoiled.

Just don't turn into a compulsive liar and a superficial politician, like 99% of them are. Good luck with that :rolleyes:

To enter into another relationship. It's been a little while. Other than that probably become a game designer, probably a far shot . . . . hey Bethesda? Want to do me a favor? I have this great game idea I have been throwing around. It stars a a dyslexic tv host at FOX news. It's a rpg/adventure game.

I'm aspiring to be a level designer for a big game developer one day, then buy a nice house and settle down. Oh, and buy a '69 Charger and restore it.

Good aspiration. If you achieve this dream are you going to build your own nice house? Or buy one one that is already built. I'm just saying, cos, you'd be well-equipped to y'know, design a house, with hidden closets and secret passageways to loot and upgrades and stuff. Have blue and red keys dotted around the place, near blue and red doors, or go all Resident Evil and have keys with diamond and crown emblems that open certain doors with similar emblems on the locks. Could have a fireplace that when lit opens the gun cabinet above the fireplace. Fire a gun from the cabinet at the second urn on the right, on the third shelf from the top (as mentioned in a nearby poem framed and placed on the nearby coffee table) and the wall to the study opens... the possibilities... are endless. :D

Me, I'm going to wait for snowkel1 to achieve happiness, then I shall commit murder and steal his identity. I'm assuming if he's happy I could be too in his shoes. I've already done it once, OniOne was originally a happy-go-lucky, easy-going surfer dude, now it almost seems like he tries too hard to be happy-go-lucky, and he doesn't know how to surf. Odd, eh? *Dun dun DUNNN* :o

I think he means like a government administrator or campaign manager. Not everyone who works for the government is a politician.

My entire childhood I always played with plastic army guys, "shot" neighborhood kids with stick guns, watched every war movie available and always built pillow bunkers and would restrict myslef to only "leaving my post" when I had to eat or go to the bathroom...its safe to say I've always wanted to be a big tough American hero army guy dude with big gunz and stuff :P either that, or these things are simply the result of the fact that being an only child is unbearably boring at times. I still want to join the military as soon as I get my HS diploma I'm out of the school doors and into the recruiting station same day, just still debating between Air Force or Army. Kind of want to make a career out if it since the civilian advlt world looks really unappealing to me, but my opinion could change after a few weeks of basic training :lol: Haven't really thought about marriage, I dont want kids and the freedoms you lose of having a wife is kind of a drag but I'm just a stupid 17 year old boy so what do I know?

Ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to be a police officer, or do something sort of law enforcement, like DEA, ATF, FBI, CIA, etc. I can't really picture myself doing anything else, its just always been a dream of mine to become a law enforcement officer, sadly I still have to wait 3 years until I'm 21 to apply, but I know I'll make it :).

ATF

Maybe you can help fix them.

Sounds a lot like me. :tops:
I decided on the Marine Corp. :gun:

Be guitarist in moderately popular band in a big city for a while.
Either be a cardiac surgeon or psychiatrist as a career.
Get married, have children, the usual except with the whole band thing for a few years probably in between high school and college.
Also, retire in my late 40's or early 50's with a LOT of money and travel around the world.

I have been a drummer ever since I was in fourth grade and am now a freshman in college. Ever since I started I have wanted to be up on a stage with thousands of fans cheering for the band I'm in. I have played in a band that had almost 100 people attend one of our concerts when we toured a couple of places in nevada (smaller towns), and that was freaking awesome.. I loved getting that adrenaline rush from playing, and hearing the applause even from a small crowd... I'd give anything to keep that going.

Have you thought about joininng a Police Explorer program? If your local department has one its a good idea to join, I've been in Police Explorers at my local department for 3 years and I think they'll get one more year out of me before I go to the military. You can join at any age between 14-21 so you would have a couple years to be in it. It's a lot of fun, at my department at least we do meetings every tuesday and learn about cop stuff then we practice our skills in scenarios. Most departments also give you a snazzy uniform and belt for you to wear during meetings and trainings or when you go on ride alongs with the officers in the department. We also do a lot of volunteer work, like setting up roadblocks during parades, directing traffic at local events and other community oriented stuff that looks really good on a resume no matter what job you apply for.

Only downside is that the 3 years I've been in the Explorers it made me realize there is too much red tape and proper procedural junk thats thrown in every officer's face that prevents him/her from getting the job done :( but if its a dream of yours you should definately look into this program....an if you already heard of this or already do it then this post was a waste :P

As a child I wanted to be the dictator of Finland.. Some who knew me then can recall me starting countless rants starting with "were I a dictator...!" I sought inspiration from all the bad guys of history, but I never wanted to be a real tyrant. Executions of my bullies along with massive social reforms would've been enough.

This. Or, playing in an orchestra with a status like Vienna's Philharmonics. Maybe someday.
