Here we can discuss our goals for the future.  They could be long term or short term.  It can be about schooling, or careers.

As for me.  I intend on applying to colleges this fall.  I might go to a Community College for a couple years, and then transfer to one of the larger colleges in the state.  My main hopes for said colleges are Ohio State University, Bowling Green State University(bgrugby would be happy, I think), Bluffton University(A small private college), or The University of Toledo.

As for careers, I might go the way of Jack and study Law, and/or Political Science.

That very well could be a requirement for TDC Forum Admins from now on.

Anywho, after I get a job, I'll be enrolling into DeVry University and taking online courses to get a degree in Game and Simulation Programming.

 ;) Purely coincidental, I swear.

Anyways, Programming is something I "might" try.  I'm horrible(Ask Dr.) at Visual BASIC.  But I'm pretty good with C++.

First Semester: Visual BASIC: Straight D's

Second Semester: C++: Straight B's.

For myself, I also plan on going to college to become a video game designer. One of my dreams is to work at Insomniac Games. :D

Hi no Seijin

Funny how I never said anything about being a video game designer.  Then again, I think I did tell you I wanted to be a video game designer.

Yeah, you did. Either that or my mind's going kooky. Each is quite likely. :P

I'm torn between focusing on video game designing and studying Paleontology, since I've loved dinosuars since I was little. Although, I gotta admit that eventually all the bones in the world will be dug up, maybe even by the time I'm older.

Hi no Seijin

Hey, man, you never know.  There very well could still be bones by the time you're ready to start digging.  Or someone could clone a dinosaur, thereby making paleontology obsolete, just like in Jurassic Park, but this time no one would die because of a greedy businessman.  Which is why it's always good to have a back-up plan, huh?

long term:
-get a scholarship (>_< without it, I can't get to a college. parents never bothered to save any money for college for me, so...)

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

Someday, I might want to open a coffee and book shop. I'm pretty good with flavors and such when making drinks. Dad says I make a great espresso....

Well, this is certainly something. You stole my career choice, you jerk!

But seriously, what are the chances of finding someone on Zelda fansite who's also interested in paleontology, of all things?

P.S. There are still plenty of fossils out there.

Zoratunic

What if you were planning to steal my choice Commodore, and I made a preemptive strike? Besides, just about everyone likes dinosuars wheb they're lttle, it's just a matter of whether or not they still like them when they are older.

Fishalicious

Well, I like paleontology too, so... I still like dinosaurs, too. But the problem is, I wouldn't be able to get into paleontology because I don't do well in the sun. /:

If I had to get an actual job, I'd probably be a biologist or a marine biologist. Animals and fish are so interesting, it'd be hard to not figure out things. (I'm more of an observer than a let's-mix-this-and-this person.)
