Career thread, your job.

What do you plan on doing in life? College,military, burger flipper, lawer ect...
What is it that you want to do?
I plan on joining the marines either 1st tank battallion or Tiger Brigade. Afterwards I want to go to college and study some computer programming or something along that line and work as a cryptotech for the NSA.

[tallbluewanderer]

I'm currently an undergraduate at university. After that -- absolutely no idea.

[Human No More]

I'm a student, looking for a job...

What I WANT to do, no idea... go to Pandora

I'll probably end up working in network engineering or management, or maybe hardware, since they're the only things I'm really good at, but they're not what I want to do any more...

[Isard]

USAF, or possibly network management. Depends on how I feel in 6 months.

[Fkeu'itan]

Absolutely no idea in all honesty.

Something arts based possibly but i'm still trying to find my path.

[Советский меч]

If the NSA thing doesnt work out I want to join the air force and work in awacs

I'm a software engineer by trade. Flying is where my heart is, though.

Do you have a passion for flying more than anything else?

When I was a kid, it was all I wanted to do. To this day my ideal job would be flying as a bush pilot in Alaska - getting to haul passengers and cargo to rough areas and enjoy the freedom of seeing the beautiful landscape from above.

Unfortunately, my chances of passing a class 2 (or 1) FAA medical - the type of rating you need to make money flying - are pretty low due to not meeting the vision requirements. So it'll have to just be a hobby.

It's not bad, really. The engineering work I do is fun and interesting ... but all things being equal I'd rather fly.

[Txum_kali'weya]

programmer or alpha tester.

All I can say is find work that you like. I've had work that I hated and it felt like it was killing me. If your work is something you enjoy it is a lot easier.

You know when people ask me "What do you do?" The first thing in my mind are the things that I love doing. However, it's not work and before answering I drop that and say what I do for work. It's not what I "do" though. What I'm saying is don't let your job define you, because it does not. It sure does not for me.

I just finished my degree in engineering technology and graduated couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately with the way everything is right now the only employment I can find would be doing civil engineering type stuff, and I absolutely hate anything to do with that particular field of engineering. So I've decided to do something that I'd enjoy more and will go back to school studying either biology or bio-chem this fall Decided to take this summer off, so no job right now
