Heya guys.  Just out of curiousity, what are your plans for the future? Dream jobs, planned careers, anything.

Me, I just flunked out of a four year college (combo of ADD and GID completely destroyed my schoolwork).  I'm going to the local community college for culinary next semester and I am totally pumped.  I am going to school as Matt, and I'm going to try and pass the whole time as male.  I can't wait, and I love to cook so I can't wait to actually learn something and work hard at it.

I'm currently working as a Graphic Designer (and have done for the past 8 years), but my long-term goal is to get my degree in Industrial Design.

Good luck with the culinary school, hope it works out great for ya!

I'm currently getting a degree in history.  My dream job would be doing paleontology, but I don't know if I'm good enough to get an Earth Science degree.  I would also love to teach college.  And be a full-time writer.  And a stay at home wife/husband. 

So much stuff...not enough time.

I've given up, will only be disappointed anyway. Only vicious canutes win in this world.

My dream career is to be a journalist because I love writing, but there aren't really any jobs left in the field because of the internet and such.

I'm gunna be a police man 
God i sound like such a kid.
I originally wanted to be a psychologist, or a therapist, but then I realized I had too many problems of my own, and that i really don't need other peoples issues on my shoulders as well.

I'm the future inventor of the one-charge battery.

I'll be using this technology to power more specifically designed space rocket propulsion systems, amoung other as-of-yet unplotted mechanical/electronic wonders.

Essentially, I'm going to revolutionise the entire power industry and by monopolising the whole thing, I'll swiftly and easily take over the world.

Just a heads-up. And not to encourage ass-kissing, but I do enjoy the ring of "Your Greatness".

I plan to teach middle school! 8D English, social studies, and ESL to be precise.

_{Why yes, I am slightly insane. I enjoy a little craziness in my life, thanks. |D}

Only if you promise to pay for my surgery.

Psh. Please. All you have to do is ask. I'll have an entire bureau dedicated for these things.

I really want to be a musician (a rockstar would be nice) or a skateboarder. You know dream big. Haha. But just incase, I'm taking classes and going to tech school for drafting so my realistic plan is an architect.

I work in the newspaper industry, and journalists will still have jobs FOREVER. Just because things are going digital these days, does not mean that there aren't many people out there who want to hold a physical product while they read. Books, magazines, newspapers, still have a long life left - at least as long as your career would be and then some. Also, even with the eventual shift to digital, who do you think writes those articles? It's true that anyone can write a blog, no credentials necessary, but when you want "real" news that you know you can trust, the major hitters are still the way to go. That aspect of news won't change drastically over the years, as accuracy and accountability are tradeable commodities. There will be work in the field, so don't give up your dream yet. Besides, I know many a reporter/journalist/writer and the majority of them are really awesome people, who I expect won't give up their passion without a fight, just TRY to get them to go silently into the night! lol

this is something i've been thinking about a lot lately. currently i work m-f as a caretaker to my grandmother, who is recovering from a stroke. prior to that i worked full time for the last five years as an EMT. should my caretaking job end any time soon, i could go back and probably get full time hours on the ambulance fairly easily. however, my transition is beginning and i'm going to have to figure out how to explain that to my co-workers and bosses. ideally, i could start all over with something new, as male, and that would be incredible. i'm still just taking it a day at a time though.

Comic book artist would be cool, probably wouldn't happen.

Maybe biotechnology or genetics or something like that. Those things interest me. I could be working on those possible stem cell ideas you all like to mention.

I am lost and it's pissing me off. I'm juggling everything at once atm.

My original plan is to become a police officer but I feel like I can't do it. I'm dumb and unfit TINY aswell. For now, I just want any job so while I work I can go for policing and I'll still be financially stable for my transition, my needs and to make my gf proud. Really need to buy a house and a car.

Well I know this is in FTM but I'll post anyway if you guys don't mind :)
My future plans are to be either a translator, actress, or maybe a mix of both :]

I've just finished a degree in genetics. I'm taking a year out to transition etc and generally sort my life out, then hoping to do a PhD in the stem cells area.I intend to spend my life in a lab!

My goal is psychiatry. (Yay being in school forEVER. ) Haha, but anyway, yes. Psychiatry. Part of me wants to focus on trans-issues, but I'm not sure how much money I could make if I focused too intently on that. (Either way, I'm at least minoring in LGBT studies now.) So probably just general psychiatry. Point is, working with other people's issues.

Reality is different to dreams. What you think you want to do, might not be how you envisioned it when you get there. Or when you get older, you realize you aren't really the person you thought you'd be as an adult.

I was in IT. When I was a kid, I thought it'd be my dream industry. I still love the tech, but...

To get anywhere in IT it involves wearing a suit and brown-nosing people. The higher you get, the less it is about the tech and the more it becomes about business lunches, meetings, conformity and politics.

I thought I'd enjoy the suit and climbing the greasy pole (Why? Because it's there! </yesminister>). I thought I wanted to be some sort of business man.

After a little while, I eventually owned up and accepted the fact that I'm just too much of a laid back, open minded, non-conforming and generally chilled guy to stomach that sort of thing. And honest... waaaaaay too honest .

I really wanted to be a yuppie so badly. I wanted to drink the kool aid, and be more "successful" than my blue collar parents. But alas - you just can't take the steel city out of the boy .

So I said "F*** that noise!" and went and became a train driver (well... technically I'm still in training for the next 9 - 12 months).

And might I say - I freaking love my job!
