<div class="IPBDescription">oooo spiffy</div> For most of my life now I have always wanted to join the Military. Since year 9 at secondry school I have had different choices ranging from the Royal Marines to the RAF.

This time next year I will be joining the RAF Gunners <a href='http://www.rafregiment.co.uk/tgcom.htm' target='_blank'>(More info on the gunners can be found by clicking ME)</a>. On a basic note the RAF gunners were set up during WW2, after finding that the British Army could not protect the RAF bases well enough overseas and at home the RAF decided to take steps in producing the new protection force which still lives today.

However if it doesnt come together i'll join the Navy as a clearence diver (setting mines and getting rid of them).

So theres my future plans, whats yours? Or if your in your job, what is it?

    I think he should feel prouder for actually serving. I'm sure there's lots of people who <i>could</i> serve in all sorts of things but don't.

    My future dreams went from F1 driver to pilot, back to F1 Driver, then "make games", then to Doctor, then to Surgeon, then to Pathologist, and i'm currently resting on the idea of Psychology (as Psychiatrists have to go through med school afaik, which is the reason I dropped doctor/surgeon/pathologist, but the main difference between Psychologist and Psychiatrist is that Psychiatrists can prescribe drugs).

    So yeah. Psychologist. Maybe forensic psychology. But I'll probably end up working in McDonalds for 15 years.

    Well in my at my current job I am an employee of RadioShack. Which some of you knew.

    I did go to college for business admin (didn't take much for that baechlors degree), in addition to ancient religion/cultures, english literature/composition, and of course automotive engineering.

    Sadly with where I live there is little call for any of that, so I tend to do freelance translations for people around here, in addition to automotive repair/rebuild/enhancing. Occasionally I do fix computers, but I am not half as knowledgable as some of you on here. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Uh, at the moment I don't work, but am in college full time. After college, it's either university, or I'd really like to push for a career in TV/Animation or Game design, both of which I enjoy MUCHOS. Gonna be hard to decide which one to concentrate on though :\.

    I am currently a tuba private lesson teacher for students of West Briar Middle, in HISD school district. I earn an unsteady 15$/30 minutes, for 3 and a half hours of work.

    I plan on graduating college from the University of Houston so that I may direct, hopefully, a high school band. However, I can settle with teaching at a middle school for a while.

    I also hope to play in some sort of symphony later on in my life.

    Yep, incidently, Cannon Fodder is one of the most realistic games I've had the joy of playing. Grenades wipe out your squad real easy, and lets not mention the RPG's.

    That and in this current day that song seems somehow relavant.

    Well, I always wanted to be a pilot or an astronaut. A test pilot would have been preferable, get to fly all sorts of different stuff and push it to its limits... But it just wasn't in the cards, I was delt a horribly structured body and a poorly wired brain by the cruel hands of fate. So my next choice was game programmer, but I lost interest in that when 3D became the end-all-be-all of graphics and garage development teams started dying out. Hell, even the good game companies got ruined, like Looking Glass. The whole industry lost its luster. I feel that most games today lack that special quality... that um... you know, that stuff, their "gameness". So now I persue independent game development as a hobby and Networking as a career, mostly just because its something I don't suck at too terribly.

    I always hated the concept of "career" though... like your Job can define you as a person. We have way too much of that in the states. You know, I read that in France its actually considered rude to ask what somebody does for a living? Aparently they just don't think that how you make your money is all that important.

    Royal Holloway uni in September for me with any luck. Studying history. God only knows what that shall lead on to, I don't really have any plans.

    Maybe a NASCAR driver. Or a film director. Or both, and a historian in my spare time.
