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

Yeah. That's where people like me get our sick kicks. :D

DREAMS

DREAMS I EAT YOUR DREAMS FOR BREAKFAST AND GET PAID TO DO IT

(or I would if I weren't going to be a web designer lol)
 
A zookeeper. I think animals are awesome and that'd let me see them up close.

My teacher thinks I would make a good political leader.
 
I'd love to be an artist of some sort. Illustrator, cartoonist, manga artist, animator...
Photography and filming would be pretty awesome, too.
 
I have two ideas that are complete opposites: Country music singer or a game designer at Nintendo. I figure I'll go to college and major in technology stuff and see which one works out better.

Of course, I'm only thirteen.

Wait, the RAF? D: Join a real organisation like the army!

You're joking, aren't you? XD I can never tell over the internet.

If you aren't, then... yeah. Me and my mum had laughing fits over the recruitment listings at the RAF - all the jobs had the things you need, like 5 GCSEs and 2 A levels or whatever and then at the end there was Gunner, which had 'No qualifications required'. XD

Which is... basically the entirety of the army. You can join the army if you got kicked out of school - and basically all you become is gun fodder. The RAF are the real brains behind things, and I see the type of people who join the army and just pity them. And I'd really prefer not to go in it, seeing as my sister was in and nearly got killed in Afghanistan~ Thank God she's switched over to the RAF now.

Oh yeah, failing the RAF I'd probably go to university and study English or something - or a foreign language. I used to want to be a writer but then I realised I better get my act in gear and pick something realistic. =[ Now I pity everyone who says, 'I want to be a Nintendo games designer!' or 'I want to be an animé artist in Japan!' Good luck, kids. But hey, I suppose it could be worse.
 
You should think about doing conservation work. You'd get to see the rarest animal species in existance, travel around the world and know that you're making a really positive difference. Plus, it's much better paid than zookeeping.

I was planning to do conservation/ecology work but then I discovered I can't stand biology/chemistry and that put and end to that.
 
I want to do something to do with cosmology. Being the first person to land on Mars would be cool. But I would really like to be the first thing to find the definite edge of the universe and then smash right through it into the realm that, according to someone, should be called "nothing-nothing."

Although, as a back-up plan, GaaaaaaaaaameFreeeeeeeeak 8DD

As for a high school job, my mom has apparantly psychoanalyzed me slowly over the years and concluded that I will work in the Geek Squad.

*reads above posts* Yeah, I would love working in a zoo. You know, not actually going in the exhibits or having to feed the damn birds but talking about the animals and stuff.

*goes back to staring at the TV screen while it shows this totally awesome documentary on meteorites on History Channel*
 
Microbiologist, Really terrible jazz saxophonist, Biochemist, Music Compositionist, Pretty much anything having to do with Biology, Chemistry, or Music.
 
I don't know.

Just not something physical. Something creative is wishful thinking, but I'm pretty sure it'll be my brain that gets me somewhere if anything does.
 
Uh, I might go into the Coast Guard if I have serious money problems, but otherwise...
Politics. Maybe a Lobbyist. It's a difficult job to get, but at least I'd enjoy laughing (on the inside) at people flipping out over small things on a daily basis.
 
I want to start a book store or some sort of business. That'd be so great, to have your own business. But of course I would need a lone or some way to get a lot of money first.

I don't know but my dad wants me to be a doctor :1

Ahhh.... The bothersome parents thing. My mom wants me to be a doctor, or orthodontist to be precise. My dad wants me to be an engineer of sorts. And they both also want me to be a lawyer.

I, however, have no idea. I'll just work at McDonalds frying burgers or something. Or I can be a lawyer or sorts.... *is so not influenced by Phoenix Wright*

I've been thinking about Biology or Psychology lately. But I'm only 13, so nothing to worry about~ *was yelled at by mom for this attitude*
 
I've always loved animals, so for a while I've wanted to be a vet. Pretty sure it pays well, and I want to do something that I'd like. Working with animals in almost any way at all that doesn't involve killing them would be fun for me, so as long as I wouldn't have to euthanize any animals, being a vet would probably be something I'd be interested in. Something in animal psychology would also interest me. Or any psychology, really. But especially animal psychology. Dog grooming would also be something I'd probably enjoy. Reality shows can make almost anything look fun, though.

I also play piano fairly well and have an okay singing voice, which could be better if I took lessons, so something in music would be nice too.

But I'm only thirteen, so I don't need to worry about this too much yet.

nah join as an officer. The army's a bit more of a prestigious organisation than the RAF and you might as well join as an officer. I was thinking of it before I realised I'm lazy.
 
I don't understand why anyone would want to join the army.
