What do you want to do as a job when you're older?

I figured it'd be best to ask about what jobs you guys want to do as adults seeing as a lot of us here seem to be younger than adults, and rather than, say, what do you want to do in the near future if you want to get a job as a teenager or whatever. Plus the fact that I want to ask about careers, anyway, not temporary jobs that you want to do just to earn money for a short time or every now and then.

So, what job do you want to do when you're older, or more specifically, an adult? Or are you not sure?

I want to work in languages - foreign ones, namely French and German - but I'm not sure exactly what job I want. I'm guessing there are loads of jobs you can do with languages, though.
 
I want to be a Broadway Actress.

Land me the part of Elphie in Wicked and I'll be the happiest actress ever!
 
Haha. Well, I am an adult and I do work... but no way am I staying there for the rest of my life.

I'm doing (will be doing) sociology at uni, but have absolutely no idea what I want to do long-term. I'm just kinda hoping something'll... come up? Wow, I'm so screwed.

I'd really love to do illustrations for kid's books, but that's not a very realistic career plan. Sadly.

Even less realistically but even more awesome would be Flora's idea.
Except I'd want Fiyero's role. Mmm.
 
I would love to be an actor, but I think that a career as a lawyer would be awesome. *PHoenix Wright influenced decision.*
 
I'm a bus boy right now. <3 cleaning tables. Sort of.
Probably either a chef or programmer. Seems like two polar opposites. :3
 
I swear to God someday I'll be good enough at art to be a concept artist/illustrator. >:) That's really the only idea I have for something I'd be able to do and not get tired of.

I wanted to get a job this summer, but Michael's is blowing me off and Pier One hasn't called or anything, so I don't think that's going to happen. :\

The most interesting part of that statement relates to the fact that, for some reason, everyone in my sister's group of friends (somehow including my friends and I) is a Wicked character. And I'm Fiyero.

...What? He's awesome!
 
<NWT> also I need to thinkabout what I intend to study in college. I like computers, food, nature, and law. how can I combine these into one future job?
<Cryssie> Also, as for a job... er. Good question! o.o
<NWT> I want to combine those four things
<NWT> I don't think I can
<Cryssie> I wonder if there's a thing out there that will suggest a career if you tell it what you like. You'd think someone would have made something like that already...
<NWT> I could build and program environmentalist robot lawyers and chefs! 8D

See, I can answer most questions with IRC logs.

I honestly can't stand the guy. But he gets with both Glinda and Elphie, so who am I to complain?
 
Artisté. Probably doing illustrations for kid's books or magazines or gay porn novels or something :/ I'd like to do comics, too.
eeehhh

If the worst comes to the worst, translator or something in history or a teacher. Or I'll try for odd acting jobs.
GODDAMN WHY AM I DESTINED TO HAVE LOW-PAYING JOBS
 
Architect. :>

Or if that seems to involve more work than my backup doesn't work out, I guess prosecuting would be fine. :D /totally not influenced by PW
 
I want to be an electrical engineer.

Though my dream job would be something like a toxicologist or a biologist specializing in venomous animals.
 
I want to blow shit up and get paid for it.

I guess smashing buildings to pieces is close enough!
 
I am not a good enough mathematician to study undiluted mathematics at university but I hope I'll be good enough to study a subject which involves mathematics: for instance economics or actuarial science. If A-level Economics is dreary I'll have to reconsider my plan.

I have it on good authority that A-level Economics is dreary. Somewhat more than dreary, actually.
 
All I know is I want to do something with computers, either as a programmer or doing 3D graphics. Programming I could go pretty much anywhere. Government, law enforcement, game design, aerospace... you name it, there's computers. The graphics is a bit more limited, basically restricting me to game development or the movie business (Pixar/Dreamworks kind of stuff). Either way would be a lot of fun, but getting into any of that would be a pain in the behind.

If that stuff doesn't pan out, my backup is law enforcement. RCMP ideally. It would probably be easier to join the city police than it would be to join the RC, but that might explain why our city cops up here are how they are. They seem to be a little bit on the crooked/lazy end of things, while even the gangsta "Fuck the po-leece" sort of people seem to respect the RC... Anyway. Yeah, police officer seems to be my backup plan at the moment.
