a very basic and elementary thread

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

I want to make a living off my writing and possibly work for a publisher as an editor or something as well. 

[Nyerp]

id fucking k

[the shortest route to the sea]

I want to live as I am

Is that so much to ask

[don't let's]

Elementary, my dear Watson

I have absolutely no idea.

[YPrrrr]

No idea

[Knig]

what do i want?

That's like asking a hurricane where it will go

this I guess

I honestly don't want to do anything (not be lazy, of course, but I don't think I have the skills and will to make anything I love into a career) I'll do what I have to do. I want to be who I am.

I don't understand the focus on a career. Are we born to work? Just like some people think there's just one person out there for them, is there just one job, and your childhood and adolescence is just the process of getting there?

I don't care what I do, as long as I can stand doing it. I care about if I'm living, and not just alive.

This is exactly how I feel.

For some careers, yes, it will be clear from a young age that it is your forte. This is usually the case for those who go into the arts like I am.

And when it's something you can enjoy, like writing for me, it's hardly "work."

This is what happens when you read Ralph Waldo Emerson while listening to Against Me!

YOU GET THIS VIOLENT, IRREPRESIBLE URGE TO STAND IN THE CROWD, THE COMFORMISTS AT YOUR FRONT AND THE NONCONFORMISTS AT YOUR BACK, AND SHOUT LOUDLY THE MOST AUDACIOUS THING YOU COULD EVER SAY: "I AM AN INDIVIDUAL, I AM MYSELF, I LIVE, I AM, AND I AM WORTH SOMETHING!"

[russell]

film, like art direction or cinematography or even being a camera man, mayhaps.

but I have a feeling I'll get by doing random wheelin' and dealins like I do now.

[Samus Aran]

If you honestly feel that having a career that you like detracts from your individuality, then you must not have much else to consider yourself individual with.

...which is kind of sad, if that's really the case.

It'll probably be something biology related. Right now I think I'll either become a Bio teacher or get into the field of biotechnology.

I wanted to do something in marine biology when I was like 8. I guess it's just because I liked aquariums and stuff so much.
