Finishing up my 4th year of Geospatial Engineering.  I've been working as an engineering assistant for a year now, and plan to move up the ladder after graduating.

I think if I can't achieve my dreams of being a physicist either I'd probably go for Aerospace Engineering. Working for company like Lockheed & Martin or Boeing would be awesome.

Yup, that's actually my goal, but through the CS route.

Don't really know going into my senior year of high school and think I may take a year off and/or try to work up in ND in the oil fields just to earn some cash so I can go to college.

I'm going into my second year of four for a BSc in Audio Systems Engineering. Got some experience working for STV, learning how capturing / controlling / broadcasting audio works. I'm interested in learning about sound design for games or mixing/producing music now. I'll have to see what opportunities there are when I'm done learning and gathering experience

EDIT: Just finished reading the whole thread. For people saying "long shot" and "probably wont happen but.." - DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS

Um I'm only in community college and work at Hardee's tapping on a cash register and wiping tables for minimum wage.

But somehow I hope to become a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, which is a government agency. I'd be okay with being a meteorologist anywhere else though, just not one of the "ditsy oo-la-la here comes Mr. Sun and Mean Ole Storm Cloud" TV personalities.

I got into engineering because of my dad, who is a sales rep for aerospace companies in the US and Europe like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Probably the coolest thing he's done was work with some of the first V22-Ospreys as a flight test surveyor for Bell Helicopter

i have an uncle that worked on the b2 bomber, he dealt with the stealth aspects on it. he was also there during it's second flight test as well.


I want to be a cs or electrical engineer when I grow up, but atm I just make small electronic devices and know C#.

learning is hard. .-.

Studying a BA in Medieval History currently. I would like to move into heritage afterwards, perhaps starting with somewhere like English Heritage, but perhaps further into museums or universities, hopefully in cataloguing/curatorship or even management.

But really, I'll see what opportunities come my way.

Yeah similar to my uncle, he worked for Boeing, but he signed some contracts so he can't legally say what he worked on.

Trying to get a job at publix in the next week.

web development is what I'm really into but maybe regular software would be neat too
despite playing blockland since I was like 10, the game surprisingly had absolutely nothing to do with me getting interested in programming, and in fact I still have no interest at all in learning torquescript
mods for other games might be cool to make. but for some reason I can't see myself having any fun making a blockland mod
It has always intrigued me, but has always been out of reach. Fun to dream, though!
if you have a computer and internet access, programming is not out of reach. the only thing that's actually stopping you is you
