I want to get in to the video game industry, as either a game mechanics designer, game environment designer, or a 2D graphics artist. I also want to move to Japan. After I'm out of High School, I'm going to take Japanese courses and I'm DETERMINED to become fluent in Japanese.

I love stuff like this. Nemisis, if you read this, I hope I get to work with you one day.
I too hope that I can get into the games industry, and hopefully as a level designer, or programmer. Level Design, because they are the TRUE makers of games, and programming just to prove that I can make it in the toughest field. Though, I would learn ALL the trates well before I die, so I can be a legend, like Warren Specter or Will Wright. Maybe even Carmack level, where people OUTSIDE of the games industry/entertainment part know who he is.
I hope to start out in a major game designing company, and one day start my own. Begin production on my own perfect game, and one day get the rights from Flayra, or Flayra himself, to make NS a retail product, with the newest or most average engine of that time.
Other than that, I just hope to get married. I'd sacrifice the rest of my life if I could just find my true soul mate.
(BTW, my goal in the games industry itself is to make Dating Sims popular in the US)

Im going into the law enforcment field. Im sort of working my way up through the whole deal here. Next summer Ill get to work for the Ocean City Police Department. In 1 1/2 years after some expirience they want me to try out undercover stuff and maybe join the "Narc" unit. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> b/c I dont much look like your normal cop I guess.
After tha,t transfer over into another good police agency and maybe get to join the SWAT or SRT unit.
Even better, after a few years of good expirience and maybe I'll try to transfer over into a Federal Agency like the US Marshals or DEA.
Either way I plan on keeping the criminal scum of society off the streets. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Short term goals I would like to get where I was before I injured my knees, you know that point were you actually enjoy jogging. Later on finish all math requirements, and physics for my degree in industrial engineering. After that Ill try and get a masters degree.
Later on in life I would probably try and get a job in some developing nation like in South America.

z.x. bogglestiensky, DOOManiac and CForrester you all expressed wishes to program/do grpahics for a game some day. I can help you realise that dream. Together we will create the greatest game ever! Of course, i already have an idea, which is quite developed, and i'm learning c++ and stuff so i'll be able to make it some day. Its a MMORPG. If you are interested, e-mail or MSN me on erendor@hotmail.com. That aside, my goal is to:
Create and admin the MMORPG i have thoguht up, and watch as i am worshipped like Flayra for it. Go to Uni and possible become a enviromental/biological chemist. (in other words i want to screw around witha nimals genes and make them have like 1000 legs(or something like that)). Stay a batchelor my whole life. And finnaly, never <b>ever</b> change my web name erendor to <i>anything</i> else.
The end
EDIT: I didn't even see your post quanuant, i must have accidently skipped it. Well...um...yeah... i can help you realise your dreams and stuff ya know. *points up* follow the instructions and we can create maybe a mix of our perfect games. *thinks about you wnating to make a FPS* wow, a MMOFPRPSG! Massively Multiplayer Online First person role playing shooting game. What fun...
Short term goals: 3 A+ marks in my current subjects (a slight move up from current A-'s)
Long term goal is to get a Ph.D in Microbiology and perform research on <i>something</i> or another. Depends really on what finally takes my fancy. Probably look at elucidating the structure of dentritic cell surface receptors and how the cell works in general.

Short term: Join the RAF as Int. Ops. Spr. Long term: Keep being/get better as a husband and father (ahhhh). To be financially secure. The rest will follow.
I've tried writing this a couple of ways, and I haven't arrived at anyway to do it besides basically a list.
1. Double major in Bio/Geo (I'm already part of the way there, at UofW - Madison) 2. PhD in Paleontology (Specifically Dinosaurs) 3. Wife + 2.5 kids and a dog 4. Decent house 5. Job at a University where I do at least some research and go on digs 6. A family that will go backpacking with me 7. Happiness 8. NEVER having to live through Jurassic Park.
I've been fascinated with dinosaurs since I was 5. I really can't imagine not doing these things, since they've always been my goals.

Because I'm still in high school I don't have too many life goals at the moment. One of my life goals is to go sky diving because I've heard it's an amazing experience and I thought it would be one of those moments that you would remember forever. My second life goal is to join the Air Force and either be a computer technician or be a pilot. Flying is something I've loved to do since I was a little kid.

Stop posting that your goal is world domination because if you were serious you wouldn't be on this forum right now you'd be out there amassing a following. You'd probably be heavily involved in planning for it since you were 11 and you certainly wouldn't have time to play video games. So please respect Esuna's wishes and keep it serious. That is all.'
In no particular order.
1.) retire before I reach 40 and live more or less on residual income 2.) Buy a 2004 subaru WRX sti. 3.) Travel around the world 4.) Find inner peace and enlightenment 5.) Become a semi-successful movie director.
