Re: Career

To all the hopeful game designers: I wish you luck. Once you get into college you'll find out how unrealistic it is.

I switched from wanting to be a programmer to the following:

Tech support (on-site), Network administrator, network security analyst, teacher.

I really want to be a teacher but the pay is not worth compared to the others.

Writer.

Failing that, actor.

Failing that, radio personality.

Failing that, corpse.

Re: Career

I don't know what I want to be, which isn't a good thing.

I'd try my luck in art but it's just not an open field, there are only so many spots available in the field of art that'll pay more than just enough to live and I'm not going to risk it. Most people don't even consider freelance artists real workers, too... too many times people expect to rip freelance artists off by saying "oh, this can go into your portfolio, that's your pay" because they don't consider it a normal business practice. Lastly, traditional animation, what I'm really interested in, is dying, or at least a good portion of it is getting replaced by 3D animation, which is just... ugh. It would be nice, but it's too risky.

"Something related to math" is the best description of a job I'll probably be going for. Math is another one of my talents and I'm sure there'll be a job available for me in the future in mathematics. Programming, network administration, anything.

If worst comes to worst, I could always become a teacher.

Re: Career

Mabey computers is a good job for you. I was thinking about that when I'm done serving my years in the U.S. Special Forces. Except I might need college for that job Do what bill gates did start your own software company. Good money.

Re: Career

Maybe a teacher. =/

A rich one, though! I will live in my own fantasy world where disseminators of knowledge are paid wages that don't suck. I will be able to afford a house.

Either that or a chemist or a doctor or something.

Re: Career

JKPolk gave me a new ambition.

I want to be a rocket scientist if my music career dies.

Re: Career

Computer Software/Hardware Engineer. And maybe minor in Psychology or Business.

DO NOT let anyone tell you that you cannot do something. Do what YOU want to do. But always have a backup plan just in case that doesn't work out.

Re: Career

Professional poker player and FFR player.

Ditto. But I'm making 24$/hr illegally playing online poker underaged right now.. does this count as a job?

Also, be warned that the select few professionals you see on TV making millions (Ivey, Hellmuth, Lederer) are not the norm. The vast majority of professional poker players don't make six figures. And it's a tough lifestyle to maintain.

On a lighter note, its hellacool to tell people you gamble for a living. XD
