    I've literally had everything down as an option at some stage. Up until last year,I was convinced I was going to be an astronaut,or work for NASA at the very least.
    Now,though,I'm aiming to study psychology and English next year. Chances are I won't get it,but straight psychology would be more than adequate. I want to be a psychologist,or maybe in the distant future,a psychiatrist.
    I went through a phase of wanting to be a writer :rolleyes: It was rather pathetic,really. I love literature,and I'd never inflict that onto the world of literature;I'm not that cruel.
    I want to emigrate,preferably to the USA or maybe Canada. The sooner the better :) Although,if the last year has taught me anything it's that you can't rely on anything,so I'll see where I end up in the future!

    I remember when I was about six, I told my Mam I wanted to be a baker, a builder and a fireman all at once, and I knew how it'd work. Early morning, around 4 or 5, I'd be the baker (cos that's when they start. I know because my Granny used to run a bakery), then around 9, I'd go building. Then by night, I'd be a fireman, cos that's when fires happen the most. Infallible logic :cool:
    If you disregard the lack of sleep.

    I don't know when I decided, but for Ages, I wanted to be a solicitor, up until TY when I went on work experience with a solicitor for two weeks. I was told by everyone not to go into any kind of legal profession because it's deathly boring.

    Some time after that, I realised how much I loved maths, so that's what I'm doing in college now. I don't know where I'm going with it though.

    I have always wanted to get married and have kids, and I don't really see that changing.

    When I was very young, I'd always wanted to go to space. After that and I wanted to be a firefighter and a pilot and whatever else. I still do wanna go to space, but I'm not gonna make it the main focus of my life (perhaps if space tourism becomes an affordable venture to me in the future).
    I'd consider doing firefighting part-time if it were availiable and I wasn't busy, but I'm ridiculously afraid of heights so I'd have be desperate.
    Piloting isn't as fun as it sounds. Take a flight from Shannon to the USA. You take off, put on autopilot. The rest of the flight then is just adjusting autopilot, checking fuel and banter with the co-pilot (if he's/she's not a dick). You then land. Also, you're never in one place.

    What do I want to do now? I want to do medicine now, I'll give it a good shot, everyone I say it to just look at me and I know they're thinking "so naive...no way he'll get it!" This might sound weird, but it kinda annoys me I'm two years away from the Leaving Cert..all that waiting...

    If that doesn't work, I'll do something sciency. Been looking at the biomedical sciences (and engineering) and energy science.

    Good on you Jay P, not everyone does something in college because they like it, and instead focus on the job opps instead. Leave that sort of worrying for later in life ;)

    Me? I always wanted to be the GH/RB mod a primary school teacher, since I can remember. Having nearly finished the course, I have to say it's def. not something I'll be doing for the rest of my life. I'll do my one year probation, travel the world for a year, teach for a few years (maybe as a sub so I can live my life), then back to college?

    Not certain, might end up teaching for the rest of my life, that's why the future is so exciting :)

    I wanted to be an actress and now I'm doing a course in media production. Going to me making and acting in a Music video this Friday.

    So not that far off really lol.




    Oh and at some point I'm pretty sure I wanted to be a Power Ranger. But I am not at liberty to divulge if that worked out or not...
