Since the number of members is not that high, I don't think I'm going to get an overwhelming response on this topic, since some people are still not sure about where they're heading and what they're going to do in the future.

But for those who do know, what's your path?

I, myself, am interested in journalism and cinematography, but am still looking for new interests since I have the time to do so.

I don't the what good im gonna do in life. But, I sincerely not much intrested in money and stuff. ATM, I am doing Computer Engineering and I have no hopes for a Job after that. I am intrested in computers and I would rather go for POST degree after that. All i know is that I will keep learning for my entire life, and handle any project or take over any career that suits my intrest. If they dont come along my way, I am goin to continue it. Money is only a part of my life. As far as careers are concerned, I would like to suggest one thing. Dont make a HELL out of your life by going behind money or forcefully planning a career which is in huge demand but does not intrest you at all. Ur WORK life will be a HELL, even though u will be making huge loads of money, u will have no satisfaction. Do What intrests u, and if you manage to make even the tiniest career out of it. U will have job satisfaction, each and every day. However, I belive, If you follow your intrest and work on it sincerly, U will get success!

You're right, shridhar. Your reasoning is completely correct. But right now in this world, even if you say you don't need money, you can't help needing it. Almost everything revolves around money. You'll need it even if you don't want to.

So even if I want to take up something of my interest, I think my career would be nursing, even though I might faint at the sight of blood. That's what most people want me to take, and for good reasons.

To be sure, I don't know

[wassie]

i dont know exactly what to do.
but it will be something with computers

[noxit]

...I agree with you Shridhar aboutthe job satisfaction thing. But there are three things:
1: the one which interests you and you always WANTED do it ..
2: the one which doesnt interest you much but you still LIKE to do it.
3: The one which doesnt interest you at all and you WILL NOT to it at any cost.


The first category people are the LUCKIEST people in the world , because they r doing a job they always wanted and they will KEEP ON doing it cz this job is providing them ENOUGH earning + mental satisfaction so they dont have to be bothered about their financial condition . They r doing good. and they not gonna leave their field even someone pays them 50% more but if someone offers them for 100% rise then they might think about leaving their current field..

The second category people like most of us are the ones who if not the luckiest one but still they are satisfied with their work and doing job which never interested them much but coz of some other other reasons ( money, parents desire, status, and fashion). I agree with chelcy that its always our initial thought to go for our interests, but in the end it all comes down to money. The way we pave our careers, the reason behind reasigning, searching for better options...its more for money than satisfaction. A good learner is always the one who istension-free and its very necessary for a good learner to be a good earner..Like i already said , you wont live alone forever , There will be individuals having their fates on yer earning .You are going to support your family . So..in more than 90% cases , job satisfaction comes with Good income .. ..

.....the third category , is the category for innocents , i dont wanna discuss it .. ..

[triax]

i agree with noxit, chelcy and shridhar. my country is one of those which the mindset of most citizen is to earn as much as possible as in my country, the gap between the rich and the poor are getting larger and the poorer are alomost treated like second class citizen, they are even worst off than foreigner.
well basicaly im a application developer aka programmer, working environment is good and job interest is there but still my pay is low, compared to my friends

Something that has to with computers.

Wanna be a sorry existence....It's my dream

Well, I wanna study Economics but things are still loose...

[pinksardonic]

I was very serious about music when I was in high school, so I thought that I wanted to be a musician.

Right now, I'm looking to International Relations/Politics... focus on Economics.

It's kind of strange, but after watching many hours of 'The West Wing,' I got inspired. I looked into the kinds of jobs that characters such as Josh Lyman and Leo McGarry have, and they seem like interesting career choices. I'm not saying I'm as naive to think I could get a senior staff position in the White House, but other jobs with those skills seem challenging and rewarding.

[The Devils Playpen]

I thought accounting would interest me but im curious of how long it will take and plus math does not interest me and there obvously would be alot of math to be done in this categorery and I think i would end up hating it. Like you said, Do what you love to do..but i havent figured out what that is.. I like computers but i cant see myself doing that forever..

I would really like to work for organisations that will help people such as the salvation army or world vision

[squishybear]

i finished a computer course... but let me see... something that has to do with computers too... or computer arts like graphics... designing etc.

[Gamesquare]

I'd consider computer programming or video game design, or something similar. At least it's somewhat creative, which is more than I can say for a lot of jobs. I might like to write about psychology or philosophy if I ever acquire any writing skills and I was able to do either of those. Although a career as a philosopher would be a depressing profession...

Edit: I might also try for a career as a translator, but who knows how my interests will change before I leave home. And I like animals so maybe I'd work with the Humane Society or become a vet. I don't know... of course, if none of those work for me I may have to resort to some sort of dull slave labor that pays me far too little just to keep food in my stomach...

[grrlfromoz]

I was a criminology major for awhile, but just wasn't happy with it, so I settled on an English BA. I've never taken classes on webdesign, but did well in art history classes so I guess that counts, in an odd sort of way, for something. *shrug* Learned how to code and do graphics on my own by just messing with programs till I figured it out. I think that's the best way to learn.

[LolliPop]

I'm studying Art History, I want to either work in a Museum or Art Gallery/Auction House

[dizilluziondmasokist]

I am going to be a journalist. I have to do something about the government. I want to be the next Michael Moore. I can't wait to get into muckraking. But I also want to help the Libertarian Political Party with winning an election so we can just get rid of the government. It is going to be so fun. I will make a living by hating on people.
