[sing]YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO, YOUNG CEYLAN[/sing] I am starting college this year to do Technical Theatre. Then hopefully next year I'll go to uni and do the same thing at a degree level. Then: Stage Manager. I just hope I am good at it and enjoy it enough to spend years doing it. It's a really hard, intensive job, and I'm worried that I'll hate it for that and make myself depressed... It's really the only proper thing I want to pursue as a job... I'd love to sing in a band. It's the only thing in a musical sense that I'm any good at it. I doubt I'd ever make it a 'career' though. Oh yeah: I'd love to open a record shop when I'm older. Can't really see that ever being possible either, mind you...

Terrible question.
I'm going to uni this year to study English Literature and Language, because books and words are all I know.
I have two career options.
1. I go into journalism, and eventually become disenfranchised by the corruption of the whole industry, and decide to write a novel on it that doesn't get published.
2. I go into teaching. And this one I think I might follow. I'd teach kids about books and be one of those passionate, compassionate, understanding teachers that everyone loves and respects and cheers when I eventually retire.
Or I could stack shelves...

I'll probably end up working in TESCO but... right now I want to do the only thing that my father and I agree on, his job. He lectures politics at the Uni (Stirling Uni, and UCSD during the summer hols) and he writes books about Russia. He has given me a love for Russia and an interest for Politics. My plan before getting that job is to work in TESCO or something until I get enough money to travel and then I want to go to Rejevik (lol spelling mistakes =p), Copenhagen, Helsinki, and travel all of Sweden. I also want to travel through and around Russia and learn stuff =]

You could combine the two with criminal psychiatry.

I either want to be a musician (probably won't happen), or exactly what margot listed as her number 2.

when i was really young i wanted to be a erm...dog hairdresser. this would probably involve putting ribbons on poodles. and then i wanted to be a dentist for a very short amount of time and then i wanted to be a pop star when i was 7 and then i didn't think about it for a long long time and now i spend a great deal of time worryign about what i'm going to be. i want to be a musician or somethign to do with music as i'm in love with it but i'd like to do fashion design (which won;t happen now i don't think) or soemthign arty too.
actually me and my friend want to hold clubnights at venues but because we lvie in kent it's hard to get bands to play and the venue near us won;t give us a night

The main reason I want to is because most of the people who 'teach' me are so boring and uninspiring and bad at what they are supposed to be doing... then you get one or two teachers who are really lovely and inspirational and just like you described. You kind of want to pay them back, you know, whilst making sure boring shitty teachers don't completely take over schools. And teaching seems like fun.

ideally, a musician or a photographer or maybe an artist but they're all pretty unlikely and it looks unlikely that i'm going to get good grades in my gcses so unless i do amazing in my a-levels and manage uni i'm screwed ! haha..

There are some people whose general demeanor makes you want to learn and inspires you to push yourself. I want to be one. [edit] i spelt 'demeanor' wrong. Bad bad teacher.

I'm planning to write an innovative and awe inspiring play come film script.
Basically it's set in Moss Side. Real grimy Ken Loach/Legs Akimbo Theater Group grim up north stuff. But with shitloads of religious subtext, I thought about making it a allegory about Jesus, but thats played out. So it's going to be an allegory set on Moss Side based on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak. With a fucking truck load of big fuck off Aliens and time travel, just for shits and giggles.
I'm going to title it
(Whats The Story?) Allegory

I actually for once cannot tell if you are being serious or not here, but whichever it is, it's still pretty amazing. Can I direct this film plz? Then we'll both have great careers out of this!
However the whole time travel + religious subtexts is a bit Donnie Darko no? Well I promise I won't cast Jake Gyllenhaal as much as I love him just to avoid the bit of repitition. (I seriously typed "repeation" at first. Is that even a word?)

Well, a few years ago: Batman.
Now, some sort of bohemian writer, journalist with a very spacious penthouse and is nonchalantly and adequately skilled in the piano, violin and accordion. Also has a few in-progress art canvases over the place and many wine bottles scattered around.
Sigh.

Mmm, yes. Only less midgety and no dying of syphilis. Actually, scratch the second one.
