apparently I wanted to be a piano teacher way way back? idk, my parents bring it up every so often. i don't even practice the piano anymore omg
Then I had my "MEBBE AN AUTHOR?!" phase that turned into "ORITE JOURNALISM," and for a brief while I thought maybe I wanted to be an interpreter? what?
and now I'm.. pretty solidly set on becoming a clinical psychologist. as in I'd be fcking pissed at myself if by this time next year I'm doing my grad school apps n shit I suddenly go 'lol nawwwww'.
idk, I haven't had any moments of wavering ever since I hit college, even though a lot of people around me 1) haven't decided on a major yet 2) switched to entirely different majors 3) almost completely broke down from having to be in their major so I'm just paranoid thinking, I either got really lucky and hit the bulls-eye early on, or I'm gonna be that person who graduates and doesn't want anything to do with my major after that.

this is actually really cool though, like that's a really interesting skill set. you could become a food blogger with focus on the history of culinary cultures or something, tie it all together somehow if you wanted to
[/size][/quote] i'm not much of a blogger, tbh. i tried a couple of years ago, failed miserably 8'| and i watched a tv special about this chef making a christmas feast based on old royal favourites. one of the ingredients: sperm whale vomit. yep. idk, i don't think i'd like to know about food evolutions, haha. but it would be interesting just a little, maybe? hm.

I wanted to be a scientist. Just scientist, and then I learned what science actually entailed Then a cartoonist, then a movie critic (on a whim), animator, graphic design, and now "something art related" cause I have such a clear life goal. But above all I don't want to grow up

ohh this is such an interesting thread! a couple of people have said this, too, but ever since i could remember, i wanted to be a marine biologist. and honestly, i still do! there are days where i sit back and look at the path i've chosen and wonder if will really make me happy, because i love the ocean. i love fish and marine mammals and reef life and deep sea mysteries and just ugh ;A; i could go on and on
unfortunately someone told me getting a job in marine biology is impossibly difficult, (and my grades in biology weren't good enough) and it discouraged me, so my last year if high school i panicked and explored authorship, video game design, fashion design/construction, and foreign language
i settled on language and while i don't regret it, i don't really know what i'm going to do after the uni graduation and a term or two in the peace corps u__u;

I'm following the path of a writer. It's the only dream I've ever really wanted to pursue and a few weeks ago I had my tarot cards read which told me that I had to follow what I wanted to do and I could make something good happen (the girl is someone I work with and she had no idea about my being torn).
I work long hours for a bank/credit union and it's pretty terrible in terms of time but I'm hoping it can lower and I can once more chase my dream. Because I just want to make people happy with the things I write. and maybe make them cry manly tears like authors like John Green and Suzanne Collins

I wanted to be a lotta things when I was growing up. Author, artist, photographer, etc. =u= Funny because my strict Asian parents discouraged everything but -yup you guessed it- being a doctor. What's becoming a friggen' doctor gunna do for me?! Seriously!! In their heads, a doctor is like, the top of the top and nothing can top the top of the top unless I become effing president of America or Asia. /rant end
When I told them I wanted to become a pastry chef, they were like, "HELL NO", in that Asian accent. But I went to culinary school anyway and graduated with a shiny medal. =u= My parents were not proud.
So now I'm working at getting a job in a nice little bakery or cafe as well as getting my driver's license since I avoided that until now. lolz
But I see a lotta people who aren't sure if they can survive in their field or do good. D: I feel the exact same way. It's super scary because there's always gunna be people who look down on you, talk down to you, and basically kill your dreams and self esteem.
BUT!! REMEMBER THAT AIRPLANES WERE ONCE A BIG FLAT BORING PIECE OF METAL AND NOW LOOK AT IT IT'S FLYING IN THE AIR GOING TO JAPAN AND CHINA AND AUSTRALIA. By the laws of physics and gravity and whatever else laws there are, that plain piece of metal should not be flying. It shouldn't even be leaving the ground let alone turning into an airplane. BUT IT'S AN AIRPLANE AND IT DIDN'T GET THERE ALONE THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE WHO ARE GUNNA SUPPORT YOU SO EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT AN AIRPLANE NOW YOUR TIME WILL COME.

When I was little I had a really specific dream that I didn't know where it came from. I wanted to own an animal shelter and take care of animals. Like legit. I have no idea...I loved animals and really wanted to be a vet, specializing in equines. The shelter just sounded like so much fun to me.
Then I wanted to be an author, I still sort of do. I've always started books but never finished them by even coming close. I can't even come up with a really good idea right now sooooooo. Yeah.
I also went through a mini secret phase of being an actress. Didn't last very long.
I also went through this phase of being an awesome musician and playing instruments and singing and shiz.
Oh-oh! There was also that time when I wanted to be a famous YouTuber. Still sorta do, actually.
Now I currently want to be a number of things that I'm bouncing around in my head. I like the idea of graphic or web design. However, I want to do something where I can travel, and frankly there aren't many options. I thought about being an English Teacher abroad, I've been told countless times that I would be a good teacher (apparently I'm patient with people or something) or even a translator because I like the idea of languages - not too sure if I'm good at learning them yet or not though. And I'm working with my church's media department this summer filming stuff and I've taken some video production classes and that stuff is pretty fun too. I've also thought about set design or something...but idk if that's actually a real job that I can study in school or what. I just thought it'd be fun and heeeeeeey designing sets for famous people yeeee.
IDK I'M JUST A BIG BALL OF INDECISIVENESS OKAY?
