What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

[Anonymouse]

Well, so far I am a history major with a minor in economics, and I will most likely be attending law school, and from there I want to practice either criminal, family, or corporate law. And since we are discussing careers and jobs and stuff, and we should be respectful and fair to the intent of the forum, any tips? Would anyone suggest I do some different things? Any variations? Law school? Etc? Regards.

I would like to hit the jack pot or somehow win the lottery.

Well isn't this a nice suprise. Now if somebody could move all the career related threads we've had to this forum that would be great.

I knew plenty of people that said they were going to law school after graduation. The majority of them washed out. Some got rejected, some decided it wasn't worth the money and so on. There are way too many lawyers in circulation in my opinion. I would have a good plan B.

Is this a joke? I thought most of us were "grown up."

I want to go to grad school and specialize in the history of the Third Reich.

And then go on to PhD, and then hopefully publish a book or two.

No, this is not a joke. So what do you want to be when you grow up little boy? Oooh, you want to be a writer? What to do you want to write about little boy?

I miss being asked that question. Now it's all, "What are you going to be majoring in college and where do you plan to work during college?"

As for me, I want to be a psychologist. I've been going on and off about this ever since the sophomore year of high school. It was between psychology and journalism. Now, it's most likely to be psychology. Counseling or clinical, but definitely psychology. Speaking of psychology, I was watching Dr. Phil the other day and I don't buy that guy. He gives the kind of advice my counselor gave to students in high school. All he says is, "You have to listen to each other and communicate. We'll be back after this commercial break." Pah...leeeez.

That all depends on how you look at it. There are too many lawyers, as well as way too many psychologists, as well as too many sociology majors, too many communication majors, and way too many teachers. The thing about it is that you either excel or you don't. Plan B would be a historian, but for now I'm thinking more in terms of practicality.

I find criminal law most interesting, and challenging.

Which law-school are you aiming for?
