Chatterbox: Down to Earth

So, careers...

So, careers...

Here you can talk about what you want to be when you're older. Why you want to, why you're thinking about it, what else interests you, etc.

I'll start off:

Hmm, well I definitely want to be an author and part-time artist. I'm also thinking about being an ornithologist which sounds pretty cool (:

Does this idea sound good? Or do most people have no idea what they want to do?

I kind of want to be a writer, except for you have to be REALLY GOOD at writing to make any money off of it, so I have a lot of work to do. Another career path that kind of interests me is the psychiatric field. I think I'd be good at that.

Architect!! Or Olympian, though that's superhard and I'll never be able to do it

Writer, definitely! If not that, maybe a librarian, editor or historian.

Being an author is definitely one of the number 1 things I plan on going to college for. The other area I've considered is history. I LOVE history! Either genealogy or some sort of living history would be neat, like Colonial Williamsburg!

I went to Williamsburg and it was amazing! I loved how it was all set up as life in the colonies. The food there was really good too...

For a class I have to take, we are researching jobs that we would like to have. I really, really want to be either a math or English teacher, but we have to research two others. We also can't choose author, actor, singer, artist..., although I want to be an author too. My other two choices are accounting and historian.

My parents both want me to become a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist, or something in the medical field since they are doctors themselves. I like the idea but with all that math and science, I'm not very sure. I would love to become a teacher, too! And I have considered being an artist or writer someday. :)

I want to be an author, even if I just have to do that when I'm not doing a different job.  I also really want to act, but having two not guaranteed job fields might not be a good idea.  Working at a museum is one of my main job interests, as well as teaching, although I'm biased towards people, so I think I wouldn't be that good of a teacher.

Definitely an author. If that fails, then I'd try to become an editor for either a publishing house or a literary magazine. If that fails, then I'll be a librarian. Anything to be around books.

The Lord hasn't guided me down my path yet. But I could be an author if I could get published again.

I definitely want to do something with history, either history teacher or historian.  I also want to be an author.  I have a lot of ideas for books, but not enough time to write them down.

If you want to be an author, I suggest writing daily or almost every day, even if you don't have lots of time. That's what I do (:

I'm going to be a psychologist! Basically a person who studies the way people think!!! I'll also write tons in my spare time, and might try publishing some stuff.
