Well I really would like to do Meteorology, which I only decided a couple of months ago. I really screwed up with my Year 12 subjects so now I spend my days and nights working out ways of weaseling into a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne Uni

Aerospace Engineering/Science in 2013 probs, hopefully the aeronautics/astronautics industries can be stronger after i graduate (2017-2018) if no or so, then i guess i would either have to work as a mechanical engineer in AUS or move to the USA and work as a Aeronautical engineer if i have a desire to work on airbus and Boeing. Mabes, if i have chance to work as an Astronautical engineer ftw (spacecraft awesomeness) if i have a desire learning about spacecraft. It just amazes me of how much science is behind it, trust me the science behind aerospace comes in a mixture from physics and chemistry, WELL A LOT OF BOTH OF THEM, but predominately physics :p. btw Aerospace engineers can be called 'rocket scientist'.

I'm pretty clueless. I don't even know what my major will be. Considering that the classes I'm shopping this semester range from multivariate calculus to Japanese sociology...

[Ghost!]

What do I want to be? Happy!

Oh, and Journalism!

I want to do a Bachelor of Science, studying Mathematics or Physics (ideally, both).
After that, I don't know, maybe work my way up to a PhD and then go into a research/academic type career.

I want to be an adult, and stuff. Heh. I don't know, really. I often resent having to make all these major, life-altering decisions when I'm only 16. I mean, who even let me do this stuff? No maths? I've probably screwed myself over for life, now. Why didn't anyone stop me? >.>

Honestly though, I'm aiming to get into Arts/Law at Monash, or just Arts at Melbourne and then go onto a JD if possible. I don't know what I want to do with myself. Whenever I'm confronted with my own future, I have a tendency to want to curl up in a little ball and cry a bit, because it's all a bit overwhelming and terrifying. My own interests, and the things I want to explore in life, are at odds with this whole 'being employed and having money to buy food' aspect of adulthood.

tbh, I'm not 100% sure.

it sounds depressing, but good to know there are peeps out there who are as clueless as i am. i have a feeling  ill be studying...and studying..and studying for the rest of my life...and never being able to ffind a job XP

I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I know that I want to study law and international studies because I find them extremely interesting fields, but after uni I don't know. What I want in my job is:

1. Ability to travel/ a job with opportunities to work for a couple of years in one place then move.
2. It has to help people somehow, particularly people in the world in most need of help.
3. I have to find it interesting and engaging.

I have thought about what sorts of jobs this would entail, and I have come up working for an NGO, diplomat, consulate and anything that fits the bill really... But I'll figure this all out more in detail in another 5 or 6 years when I've finished uni.

I think the problem is, everyone nowadays is looking for a quick fix to a job. Something that will provide us with every security and remuneration we can think of. I'll admit, it's definitely important to me, and I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable these days to think that way. But I think we all need to somewhat sacrifice some things to find something we enjoy...

But it's really not easy, I hope everyone here get's what they want and deserve, cos I'm definitely feeling the pressure of either choosing an alternate to pathway to Med or choosing a completely different career altogether, and it's not easy

I personally think half the fun is not knowing.
Come on, how boring would it be if we have every detail of our lives mapped out? We're still young, we can still change our minds and even if you do a course/part of a course that you don't get a job out of you still would have learnt so much from it. I'm excited about the future, not because I know what I'm going to do, but because for the first time in 12 years I'll have the freedom to chose.

I would quote the third Twilight movie here, but I think I'll spare you...

Personally, I think you should go into singing. "The Land is Mine" comes to mind for a possible chart topper
