Major (Economics) which I'm going to get a PhD in.

Minor will probably be Civil Engineering or Architecture. I'm pretty sure it would be a good choice with which to accompany Econ.

right now I'm a freshman with a major in english lit. I want to minor in Psychology. not because I love the class, but beacuse psychology has such potential as a career. My dad has said that I have to get out in four years...........but I may be doing May term, which is summer school, which means I wouldn't go home this summer, but it means I could take a psychology course and find a summer job. my plans are to go into the writting business. I'd liek to work as a journalist or something like that, but if that doesn't pan out................I could travel the country, writing about my stops, going to obsure towns and putting them on the maps and getting money for it.

After finishing school. I will set out to further educate myself about the theoretical aspect of music. I haven't quite made up my mind about what I want to do with my life yet, but it HAS to have something to do with the creative side of music.

I am a political studies major, and if I want to do more school after my BA, I will either get a master's or pursue law. I don't really like work, but if I could pick a job it would be either professional investor (even though that's not a job), or professional kickboxer (which will most likely never, ever happen) :)

I'm going to be a librarian. I think. Right now I am taking a couple of Library Science courses and applying to Masters Programs. So if I get into a degree program, I get to keep taking my library classes.

Specifically, I want to either be a school librarian or youth services librarian (I like children's books).

I plan on being an English major, and going on to become a Journalist of some sort.
Of course, I'd also like to study Theatre, but a Theatre degree and a dollar is coffee money.

I dropped out of university about 7 years ago ... was in the process of writing up my masters thesis in marine parasitology, but as I had long suspected, my data had been borked by other people, and there was nothing I could do about it, so I just junked it all and walked out. Can't say for sure where I wanted to go with it all ... for me life is all about learning and discovering new things, so I would have done anything I could to stay on at uni and continue doing research. Maybe take on a teaching job or something while doing my doc and then post doc.

My career as a zoologist was dealt a mortal blow when I taught myself to program soon afterwards, and found it much more rewarding to do that. Every once in a while I get really annoyed with the usual crap that's inherent to working as a programmer (managers, poorly-defined spec, constant requirement shift etc), but then I find a better job or learn something new, and that keeps me going.

I'm a very firm believer in not planning life, because there isn't really a final destination. If there was, you'd be able to "win" life, and there'd be high scores too. Nope, as long as I'm doing what I find interesting, and can pay rent in the process, I'm happy. I'd love to get my Masters some day ... some day. What I do after that is just another step towards another step.
