Ever thought about what you REALLY want as a career? (1 Viewer)

[sugaryblue]

I have thought really hard about it. I used to think i can force myself to do something i don't want. I was planning to be an accountant (~yawn~) until i realise what the heck i am thinking?

so yeah, i did some thinking and i know that it would be great to get into tourism and airline industries!

what do you guys want to do? (haha feel a bit like, when i grow up, i wanna....)

 

[nick1048]

economist, if I can survive all the theory and implement my skills practically.

Although I've always dreamed of being a professor of philosophy at a university, publishing essays and undergoing never ending research into the abyss of knowledge, space and time. I'm just not sure how dedicated I am, or what marks I'm going to get. *sigh*

 

[llamalope]

principal artist with the West Australian Ballet........ but that aint gonna happen

so..... a dance psychologist, organisational psychologist or a marketing manager

 

[aditya]

yeh i dunt wanan be an accountant either, i wanan be an economist.... full stop... sounds like the maddest job... relaxing, high pay, VERY interesting work, and future possibility to actualli get some karma points by wokring for someone like the world bank, or the IMF etc

brilliant stuff... maybe one day.. becoming primeminister

 

[tempco]

rawr go the economists.

prime minister doesnt sound to shabby either.

 

[LeftrightOut]

Consultant. All the benefits of a particular occupation none of the pitfalls.
Otherwise a manager of some sort.
Followed by being a teacher or academic.
As long as I can find a job in those 3 roles i'll be happy

 

[Abbeygale]

I want to write, but I also want to eat, so I'm getting a law degree. I'd love to study International Law/International Studies and work in foreign relations or diplomacy.

 

[aditya]

wow that sounds pretty awesome as well

yes actualli id love to be a business consultant over an economist... i forgot about that the post before mine was economist and it influenced me hehe

but yeh, consultant, economist, investment banker or high flyer accountant!!!

 

[waddle_828]

[Ghost1788]

[klh]

i went through many phases....architect, It specialist, engineering but i like accounting for some unknown reason...it fits me well, even though i used to hate it for some unknown reason. But i wanna be a manager fo some sort, maybe in logistics or project management.

 

[ur_inner_child]

ummm

but basically i just want to be famous.

i crave fame and recognition

I CRAVE IT SO BAD!!!

i want the elite-muso-snobheads that eat fish eggs all day to go:

"boy i could really go for one of stef's pieces right now. i'm going to go the opera house and pay overpriced tickets. that stef is so hot right now"

that is all.

oh, and to also bludge off my husband john mayer one day. even though that's not technically a career, but it's a goal damnit.

 

[froggy_chik87]

i want to be a primary school teacher...but if i don't get the marks for it, maybe a dance teacher, or something to do with the travel industry!

 

[Casmira]

Economics industry (ie. investment banker), or Science course (particulary chemistry), if either of those do not do me, in order of preference these are my fallback courses
- software engineering
- lesser business degree
- computer science
- architecture
- graphics design

 

[doe]

i want to be a house husband

 

[Rayanaldo]

If i had put my mind to it, i could have become a professional sportsperson. Either as a footballer (soccer player), cricketer or basketballer.

When i was like 5 or 6, i use to play these sports at home with my brothers, dad and cousins. But then, i just didn't put my mind to it. I regret it badly.
