I know it's the question we all dread second most in the world (the first being 'So, finished that Extended Essay yet?'   ), but I thought I'd make a thread for us to compare and contrast our dreams for the future. Who knows, maybe somebody out there also wants to be a professional orthinologist, just like you!

So, for my part: I, like all girls my age, have always dreamed of being Supreme Ruler of the Universe. I'm told the University of Ballarat has an excellent course in Omnipotent Lordship, but I have to get 40 or up to qualify...



Oh, you wanted a serious answer!

I want to study Production at VCA. I want to be involved in plays and film and television - I want to make it all happen. I don't even care if I end up carrying the basket of muffins around a film set, I just want to be involved in the process of turning words on a page into real life. That's my dream. And if it doesn't happen, then the Supreme Ruler of the Universe thing sounds good too.

Your turn.

oohh yaaaay! my favorite question ever

firstly: DOH! so close to the 40 points *reaches out hand*... though one day I will become the supreme ruler of the world... evil ruler that is me and captain scarlet from TSR have that all planned out already

secondly: the plan is to party away 2 years of communication and media at loughborough, get serious the last year to get my grades high enough to apply to a decent Uni for my masters... then slave away into the world of books and notes from then on.. you might think "from then on" refers to a year for my master, but it really is 5 for a masters and a PhD... if the plans goes through and I get some fool to fund me for my research (which ever major I decide to pursue at that time) then I should be getting my PhD when I'm 25 woohoo

see what I would have preferred to do was take English A1 HL, gotten a 5 in that, perhaps scraped a 6, and then taken world literature from the beginning till the end. But since my dad said it was not a "career" major.. I'm going to become a journalist and then work my way into the world of literature.. hopefully as a writer.


and she lived... well I dunno how she lived yet.. but she's still alive

the end

Well, I am not much of a planner type person. Por example I am yet to decide whether I am going on a gap year next year.

But, when I grow up I want to be perhaps a medical aid worker, surgeon or psycologist, that is if I get into Medicine (preferably at Melbourne Uni(I would be astounded if I got into Med at MelbUni) or Monash Uni). If I don't I might go to ANU and do a PhB or at MelbUni Science or Commerce, then become a rich and powerful businessman horribly depressed (it will happen no matter what I do). But really the rest of my life depends on whether I get into Med.

Wow that's awesome. If you're that passionate about it then your dream more than likely will come true (hmm...optimism. isn't it great ) Personally, I'm into that kind of stuff and art, but only as hobbies. I'm actually planning to be a pediatrician when I grow up, however.

High five . I really hope I can get into med school and become a pediatrician. Either that or a psychiatrist. Don't really know yet.

I have a large amount of respect for pediatricians! I could never have the heart to be around sick children. My old bio teacher told me a story about a little girl she had to do surgery on who died in the surgery.. she told me she cried and was in church for the whole week after! I think I would never leave church if something like that happened with me!

good luck guys

I want to get into some good uni and then go on to a career in Investment Banking, where I toil away spending umpteen hours, earning a lot, have no time to spend all my money. Ahhh that's the life.

Who are you? My soul-mate?  

Anyways, I want to study medicine and become a doctor and/or surgeon. Something I have always wanted and I am so excited about it.    Some branches that I am very interested in: pediatrics, psychiatry, cardiology, pulmonology, gynaecology and emergency medicine.

Or in short - I am going to have a tough decision to choose *is greedy  

There are many in my school I know and now I see this thread heh. Good luck everyone!
