Author Topic: what do you want to be when you grow up?  (Read 4458 times)

Either an Engineer or something in Filmography.

I wanna make vidya games (and I'm already on a team making one), though I've considered a possible career as a musician, doing music for movies and games.

I'll also probably try to write a few books and see how well that goes. If I'm any good I'll write more.

I like history, it's a shame though that I spent most of it studying conflicts and military technology.
There's plenty of places for that.

You'd be surprised at the amount of Military History books and museums there are out there.
The human race has been warring forever. There's as much Military History as there is history of any other kind.

And studying conflicts, particularly those which are less-recorded, is an impressive skill, especially if you're the sort who goes out to old battlefields and studies the land and archaeology.

join the marines and then become a cop. would probably work in a larger city and not just some small town where i bust the occasional kid for pot or something.
I take it you're into Policing for the Adrenaline Rush?
That's quite common for police officers.

Even if you're not in a location that has more adrenaline pumping crimes, like a city, you'll still be surprised by the things you come across.
And even if it's not all that exciting, generally pay is pretty good wherever.

If you're really interested in becoming a Police Officer then go for it no matter what.

not exactly, the main reason i want to become a cop is to help the people that cant help themselves and make sure people are able to be safe. i mean yeah, i would enjoy the excitement of the job as well simply because i cant see myself working a desk job or something similar. but i dont want to become a cop just because i think itll be fun and i have power over other people or some stuff like that.

software development/engineering

game development as a hobby, possibly a career if it goes well

Well no, I didn't mean to suggest that it was for power or anything.

Chances are if you even remotely come off like that you aren't going to get hired.

It's just that it's quite common for people who want to go into policing to enjoy the Adrenaline Rush, which is why they don't tend to be the sort who are overly nervous when it comes to doing things like chasing or tackling criminals or holding ground against a number of yobs or those in a riot.

I just assumed that you might have some sort of appreciation for Adrenaline, as in being able to make good decisions on it. Gaining Fight rather than Flight.
Which tied in with you saying you would like to join the Marines.


Both are very admirable choices. You should be proud if you go into either of them.

Band, film and video game music composer with some computer programming and professional musician on the side.


there are cops who help people on the street and all

you just have to live in the right areas.

make sure you keep in shape, ive talked to some cops and they all say that being in shape is probably one of the most important part of the job. ive also been thinking of getting into mma, i mean i doubt i would really ever need it that much but still, its a good skill to have.

Dof stuff, I forgot to mention I also would like to get some sort of teaching position somewhere around high school level English/writing or maybe (but highly unlikely) college professor. I already got plans to hopefully get there some day

Yeah, that's a slight problem for me, since I've focused more on helping people by helping out my grandma around the house. But, we're getting a pool today maybe.
