Well, the title says it all.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
What do you aspire to do with yourself and your career when you're older?

Me? I'm happy working for a large tech company at the moment but I always throw around the idea of starting my own business related to web-application development. And if I won the lottery or had some other means to be supported so that I didn't have to work for a paycheck I would like to start a non-profit web-application/website development company that develops web apps and websites for free for other non-profit groups.

No idea. I had plenty of ideas when I was younger but things are going downhill lately and I'm not sure at the moment.

I want to be a famous warrior on the video game 'World of Warcraft'. I'm already doing a pretty good job of it.

If you demand that I have ... better (ie monetary based at the cost of my soul) goals in life, you will be sorely disappointed.

I want to do something with music (singing in particular, so either singing in some professional choir or teaching a chorus class or something like that) or photography as a career. I'd also like to get married someday as well. But that aside, I really don't know. I guess I'll see when I'm older. :)

I aspire to get my game company up and rocking. My late releases of muds and a 2d MMo are cool, but people just wont pay to play them :p

I been working on my engine for about 2 years, and I hope to start throwing graphics at the thing and get a good 3-D and skexy playable demo up within the year.

This is only a foothold though, I want to help others achive thier dreams as well. I like ameture work that progresses along with a project, and that is what I would like to see happen in my games by keeping the system underground and slowly building up as the crew builds talents. It's a bit of a pipedream, but I don't really want a solo released game :(

Most DK's ftw? :O

Anyway! I'm at a point in my life where I have SO many ideas that it's totally hard to decide... History teacher, photographer, artist, graphic/video designing... and whatever else pops into my head. I'm leaning more on graphic design, though... going to tour a college tomorrow to help decide. :D

I don't know, I keep changing my mind. In the last four years I have seriously looked into animation, filmmaking, chemistry, and now currently Japanese Studies, although I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that one.

So yeah, as you can see, I'm headed into my fifth year of university, with no end in sight! :bounce:

Career wise I want to be doing exactly what I do right now on these forums, say randomly stupid /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif, make fun of stupid people and be loved for it. Either that of a heavy metal vocalist.
In general, I want to sleep with as many attractive and cool people as possible.

Singer or an actress. You have good taste, rye. :)

My life will not be complete if I do not meet Janice Dickinson, though. :(

Id love to be in a band, to either be a drummer or to sing like this singer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxi9z5TyEWQ)

But Im one of those people who will dream of things, but never actually fulfill them. I know Ill end up in a dead end job.

I want to get married, and have children, and visit Finland ;D
