What college do you plan on going too?
What do you plan on becoming once you get out of college?
If you are out or in college, what college did you go to or are in and what are your goals?
I'll edit with mine once I'm done downloading something >_>
Uh, I'm trying to get into U of Wisconsin - Madison... Just waiting to get my application back. So far I've only gotten one letter back, an acceptance from Uconn.
After college, I really have no clue what I want to do. Sports journalism maybe, but there are days when I hate working for my school's paper, so I don't know if I want that as a career.
Graduate college if necessary, contribute to the arts in some way, teach a few people how to live life, and travel as much of the world as I can.
Oh, and to be married and have kids.
That's all I need for my life to be complete.
I'm currently attending Salem State College. baddood; I was about to go to UAT until I realized I couldn't afford it. I might switch in 2 years, I dunno.
Probably something in IT, they get paid a nice amount of money and I like computers.
Neurosurgery or Podiatry.
Well, I don't want to go to ISU or UOI, so I don't know what college I want to go to.
But, I'd like to learn a few languages and become a translator of some sort.
I still haven't made up my mind about colleges. There's a large part of my mind that wants to take a year off and go backpacking around Europe or something, but then I realise that I most likely just wouldn't ever take to initiative to get back into things.
If I go to college in the US, it will be in CA, for two reasons. One, its climate is the best I've encountered in this country so far, and two, my dad would just move there (he has a house in San Diego that he uses about 30% of the year because he goes there so much for business), so the non-resident extra tuition would not be an issue. Also then home would be closer. And not in Minnesota.
Otherwise I'll go someplace really random and strange, like Sweden or France or something. I have no idea, really.
It depends mostly on what I decide I actually want to do for a career. Music is too fickle a thing to depend on, and also I'd rather it remain a hobby. Web development is something I could do right now, but it's boring. I've considered going to school for film and getting into that industry, because it's another hobby of mine that I think I'm fairly adept in. Writing is in there too.
Pretty much what it comes down to is I'll be going to college for a degree in something like English, or music (/saxophone), or History, or something to do with film, and use it as something I can fall back on if my extravagant plans for grand and exciting lifestyles fail to provide monetarily.
I intend to just relax and enjoy my life for at least a year after I graduate high school. Devote a month or two to playing games I've had for a while and maybe picking up some programming, get some decent media related job for a while, etc.
After that, I'd want to use the funds I had just saved up to travel across this nation and maybe Canada for a month or two. After that, I'd repeat the previous process of what I did after school, then leave again for Europe and/or Asia.
Eventually, after a year or two, I intend to go to college. The relaxation should give me enough to reflect on my life and think about what I truly want to do. I find science very appealing, and I've had an interest in space since I was born (thanks to my early obsession with gaming and my family consistently taking me to museums and teaching me about the universe to the best of their abilities). Some sort of garage space research center with a couple of other people would just be fantastic, and constructing some sort of vessel that can launch up and through the atmosphere would be a dream. Sure, NASA's fine and all, but nothing beats working for yourself and advancing beyond pre-established organizations for such things. (yay steve jobs and steve wozniak)
Another thing I'd love to do is found some small time game development company. I would truly love to make my own shmups with a couple people I know, but the only problem is that few small game developers can pump out anything successful and even less of them are remembered. If I can create something known throughout all gaming history, then I'd be fine. It's something I may try to do after high school, and if it doesn't seem to be turning out, I'll just leae it behind before trying to get too involved with something bound to fail.
But my prime goal is to do something that'll get me into history.

Not with the trips, no; space related things, maybe.
Still, biology wouldn't be a problem for me at all. Those are my primary focuses, but I'll try to build up some decent foundations in other branches of science, art, and possibly writing.

Also good. Branching out will expand your capabilities and give you something to fall back on.
I will go to a decent SUNY college for secondary education. I will get my masters there. Along the way I will have a good time, living life, going outside and to parties and all the stuff I failed to do in High School. It will be a time to start over fresh. Hopefully I will get some women in my life. A little action. Also, I will probably join a band, or create one. No crappy garage band either, a serious band with serious goals. I will also hopefully complete my story finally somewhere in there. As well as other stories I have a firm grip on.
I will then graduate and move out west. If I have a girl, it will have to be one who is as ambitious as me and doesn't mind moving across the country. If not, then that's fine too, because there are plenty of girls in California. I will hopefully get a steady job as a High School history teacher and become situated somewhere around Southern California, or maybe Northern Arizona/Southern Utah. A place where it's hot, dry, and deserted.
I will spend my time living my life, admiring the dream I am living. I will probably buy some expensive telescope to spend my evenings with. Out in the desert, where the sky is huge, just gazing for hours at the cosmos.
Hopefully I will still be in a band, and we will be making it big. If not that, then I will be making books or scripts that get me a good amount of money and fame. Just something that will go down in history and put my name out there in American culture.
If not, I will have a steady job, and enough money to travel the world, see Italy, preferably Rome and Venice, Greece, Aruba, The Bahamas, Hawaii, Egypt, and anywhere else my interests take me.
Then when all is said and done, I will officially settle down, get married, and have a few kids.

Oh yes, gambling on the chance that your idea will be successful when compared to using the CS skills to obtain an IT job is really winning.
I have no idea what I want to do for college but after I'm finished with college I want to be a professional runner. caterpie;
I probably won't be nearly as good as Alan Webb or some other world class runners, but it's worth a try. Though I still have no idea how far I'm going to get in my high school running "career".
Like Lawlz, I want to be remembered in history.
Finish High School
Ditch college
Keep filming skateboarding
Keep on Filming skateboarding
Film somthing else
Get money
Be old?
I want to finish 9th grade, be homeschooled for the rest of my high school education, go to some college (I have no idea what one or even what courses I want), and hopefully get some job that involves computer stuff (other than that, I have absolutely no idea what I want)
I'd also want a girlfriend to live my life with (though I doubt it'd ever happen), a house (after college), and no kids (before "that's not even possible for you anyways", there's adoption).

Pessimism will get you nowhere.
I've just decided that 50% of all my income from my small vintage Mac business and other business henceforth shall be put away for my grand backpacking tour of Europe that I plan on embarking upon before college. I'd like to go with a friend (I have a few in mind that would be able and willing), and spend a good three to five months bumming around the continent. Hopefully it will also provide some sort of insight into what else I'd like to pursue in life, as well as where I might like to actually live, which I have a feeling will not end up being in the US.
To add to that I'd also like to find a lovely female counterpart -- perhaps even my current one if that continues to work out -- and conduct my travels and glorious life experiences with her.
Oh, I'd also like to command or at least be in a jazz quintet at some point.
finish high school
go on a year long break and relax, play some vidyas and hang out with friends
go to college
get a career in the technician fields, specificially engineering
have a wife and kids
get a nice house in the country
grow old and remember the good old days
relatives always made comments on how i should go in the field of gaming as a career.
making games, beta testing etc. but i feel its more of a close hobby for me
Guys i posted something about lengthing telomeres, what happened to it? baddood;

Very nice, I play Alto Sax, Clarinet, and Piano. All proficiently. You play Tenor?

I'll probably fail at my goal terribly. :'(
As far as college goes, I really like web design. But I also wanna go for a job where everyday isn't the same day.
Just the usual stuff. I want to go to college, do something in business (preferably sales), and settle down with a wife of husband if i turn that way by like 25.
ok well it's almost a year later. baddood;
OK I STOPPED GOING TO SCHOOL AND I'M AFRAID THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES I'LL BE TOO LAZY OR UNWILLING TO GO BACK. :(
I don't know what I want anymore, I do know one thing but other than that no. :(
I want to work in an asylum or a do autopsies
or a psychoneruroimmunologist
I plan on finishing high school, and possibly going into biology, math, or Latin.
I was kinda hoping to go to New York. Go to the New York School of Theatre or whatever it is.
but they only accept 5 percent of there students so there's no telling what's going to happen

Yeah I was looking at that the other day in Dramatics Magazine.
The price, plus the gpa requirements are probably going to hold me up.
Worse comes to worse, I could always try the NC School of the Arts or something.

Ideally, I'd love to go to those schools. I think I can get some bonus points, because the head of the theatre program for NC used to be my Theatre Arts teacher. Hopefully, I'll get in. I'll probably end up getting into UNCG or something.
I'm going to go back to my home country of South Korea where epic pwnage in Starcraft is admired and used like farm animals.
Besides that, I hope to major in Computer Programming/Game Programming in one of their universities.
I actually do want to go to college(hopefully at least UCLA or something close) and right after high school, I don't want to wait, but my father is most likely going to force me into being an investor. I plan to study abroad in Japan to get a job in the music industry preferably as a songwriter, composer, or recording artist. Or try my luck at becoming a producer. I want to get into the entertainment and media business, and I know it's not easy to put up with all of its shit. As for now, I'm just looking for ways to make clean money so I can buy a guitar and take lessons, in addition to buying things I want. So hopefully by high school, I can add to playing the piano and clarinet, and maybe some decent singing after practicing for a long time.And if all fails, it's into the stock market business I go.
I want to meet Selena Gomez, become a successful doctor, and live life to the fullest by keeping a steady job and not looking for more by gambling or sleeping with strange women.
When I was a senior in high school I was certain I would become a Radiologist, so I went to Carroll College because of its kick ass pre-med program. I soon found out that I hate biology and science in general, so I left the science program and decided I wouldn't become a doctor.
Currently I'm studying philosophy, and I'm loving it. I plan to go to graduate school after college. As far as jobs go, I have no idea what I'm going to do and I'm not worrying about it. Life isn't about getting a job, folks. If you rotate your life around that, you'll be VERY VERY unhappy. Instead focus on bettering yourself. A job is just there to accent your talents, but it doesn't define you and it shouldn't be your main focus.
hocuspocus;
Originally, I wanted to go into biotechnology and become a genetic engineer. But I switched majors to natural resources management, which would be good for becoming a forester or park ranger or something. I really don't know what I want to do now.
