Profession without Money?

[sSsflamesSs]

Being the nostalgic creature that I am, I thought it'd be appropriate to create this thread, and if you think it's lame, I don't give a rat's ass.

Anyway, we've all been asked the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" For some, our answers might still be the same as when we were 7, but for others, such as myself, the answer has changed for one reason or another.

When I was younger, being the tomboy that I was, I always wanted to be a cop, or most importantly, a pilot. Oh how I dreamt of being able to fly, to experience the freedom that flight rewards you with.

Unfortunately, my plans have changed, for being a pilot requires perfect vision - something I lack. I can only imagine flying around and going, "Mayday! Mayday! My contact popped out!" Hahaha. But fear not, for I may be healing some of you in the future (so be nice, hahaha).

If you didn't figure it out, my plans have changed to becoming a doc (hopefully).

So what's YOUR story?

Hey flames, what kind of Doc?


I never considered being a doctor, I think everything is nasty.

and I don't like touching people I don't know.

Well, for a while, I contemplated the idea of being a plastic surgeon - that way, I could be an artist and a physician at the same time. But then I saw these fake-boobed, stuck-up bimbos, and my morals got the best of me. So I thought, maybe I'll stick to reconstructive plastic surgery, for burn victims and such, but then that's just creepy (I saw some pictures, and I just about had a heart attack). I've not had very much experience with cadavers, so I have yet to tap into my tolerance level of what I can and cannot endure. If everything works out, I might still go with surgery, but probably not plastic. If all else fails, I'll stick with general practice. Even then, I can still help humanity in some way (sounds cheesy, I know).

When I was growing up I wanted to be just like Lenin and my second choice was to be an astronaut as a result of Soviet conditioning. Ironically I grew up to be a Capitalist.

Flames, how about a brain surgeon and whatever happened to the dream of being a singer?

You are not a capitalist in the true sense of the word.

When I was growing up I wanted to be a lawyer, but now I am studying the history of squirrels to become a historian of the squirrels.

Truth does not breed in your nature, thus your claim of a definition is invalid on its own.

And what a noble profession indeed, to study your relatives. Squirrels and mice are rodents that typically infest homes, have you studied the methods of exterminating them? Perhaps you should experiment on yourself first and we’ll see which methods work.

When I was young (well, younger), I wanted to be the star goalie of the Montreal Canadiens (hockey team, for all you non-sportsy people). Eventually, due to the constant brainwashing caused by all my relatives calling me "pasdapan", I figured I might as well be a lawyer. 2 or 3 years ago, however, I made the switch to politics, and that is the sphere I want to be in right now.


And oh yes, sporadic outbursts of "I want to be a secret agent" were quite frequent.

A brain surgeon...hmmmmm.....

Anyone care to be my guinea pig? Hehehee

As far as that goes, I am still exploring the exact path of medicine that I am going to take. Believe me you, I have PLENTY of time to do that...I'm only a junior in undergrad.

As far as being a singer, I haven't given up on the idea just yet. I still love to sing (haven't done much recently with school), but since I miss it so much, it's only a matter of time before I get back to it. I was thinking of joining an ensemble at school for next semester - I'll be auditioning. Maybe that'll help me manage my time better . The high that I got when I was up on stage is indescribable. Who knows, maybe I'll be a doc with being a singer on the side (defying the rules of time, hahha).
