What are you guys majoring in, what do you plan to do when you finish studying? Graduate school? Travel? What are your life plans, in general? If you finished school and all that, what are you currently doing with your life?

I plan on finishing up getting my Associate in Applied Science Degree in Computer Aided Drafting. I hope that later, I will go to a four year univeristy and get a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. Before going on to get my Bachelor's, I hope to get a decent starting job as a Mechanical Drafter, then later, work as a Mechanical Engineer, Designing and building prototypes of automobiles, boats, motorcycles, etc... Would be great if I manage to snag a job with the military designing new toys for the soldiers, and a tank that I have in mind that would revolutionize tank technology. Once I hit retirement age, I'm doing lots of traveling and would like to meet the goals of fishing in every state and in lots of countries. I would also like to catch a 240+ pound catfish, and a large great white shark. All while these things are going on, I will be adding to my collection of medieval weapons, hopefully getting some authentic stuff. That's it I suppose.

Oh, sorry I didn't include my own in the OP. I have 5 semesters left to finish my BS in Medical Lab Science. I want to get into a work/study program to get a Master's degree in one of three fields that I have in mind. Hematology (most probable), Virology, or Immunology. I don't think I'd consider getting a PhD, really. I want to work in Europe or America to be far far away from all the Middle East shit. I looked up salaries that I might receive with a BS, and they're great. About 50-70k$/year. I'd look at more when I finish my Master's degree. I'm really leaning towards being a Hematologist because I want to work in research, rather than test piss, shit, and cum for diseases for the rest of my life, and hopefully do something that benefits humanity. I always like to set a goal for myself, no matter how far fetched it seems. My cousin is working in cancer research, and I'd really like to get into that, specifically in blood related cancers.
i work in a research lab at my uni. unless you like having downtime (sometimes up to days) then lab work isnt very fun. it is kinda cool to do groundbreaking experiments though.
im finishing up my BS in biology and im thinking about grad school in molecular cell bio or pub health. ive taken my mcat already (not telling you my score) and med school is also an option.

I'd never consider becoming a doctor. Not my cup of tea. Biology lab is sooooooo different than Medical Lab. I've had a Bio Lab course..boring as fuck.
I'm a bit confuzzled right now, will probably be attending a few major/career fairs...
Currently majoring in Computer Science but not sure what my concentration should be. We need to choose 2 concentrations that define what courses we take, and there are like 8 of them... for now I plan to take the two that deal with low level programming details and the other deals with databases and moving/organizing data in general. I'm pretty cozy with computer science (I seem to get A's in every course as long as it actually involves programming, and these are the only classes I can coordinate a group in), but there are other subjects I like, and I'm not as passionate about CS like some CS whizzes we have. Biology (taking this as my lab science), film (ehhhh... there was a club but it conflicts with... biology), and writing/drawing... but I don't see those as viable things to major in, sans biology. And with bio I am not really sure where I would go. BioMed seems interesting. I could mix CS and Bio maybe, they seem to mix well for some reason. I like psych too but really in the wrong college for that and I see that more of a self-learn area. Fortunately, CS is a pretty useful profession even if it doesn't end up as a career so I'm not too worried about it.
As you can see I'm sort of all over the place. Post-college? Yeah, let's not even go there.
Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
Lol, Meph, hating on me again.
Do you want to talk on MSN again?
Is the lack of my awesome voice/accent really affecting you that much?
Anyways, plans right now are to work for about a year or two, save up enough money to take a trip to somewhere in Europe, probably Ireland. If I don't have enough money left over for College/Uni at that point, work another one or two years, then head off for College/Uni. Still not sure which I'm shooting for to be honest, I've looked at their programs but I've still really gotta sit down and think about where they would take me, what pay I could expect, if I'd enjoy it in the long run, and all that shit.
Thinking of either going to become a teacher, or a doctor. I've got an 84 average coming out of high school, so hopefully those marks will be sufficient to land me a spot in wherever I choose to go to school.
If for some reason I can't get the schooling to become a doctor, I'll definitely become a nurse. In Canada right now, we're absolutely starved for medical staff. Over in Saskatchewan my Aunt knows a male nurse who makes a quarter of a million a year, shit you not. Our government is paying medical staff outrageous wages to keep them and to bring them in, we've got such a crazy shortage of them right now.

Lol, I took a CS class as 1 of my 3 Humanity classes. Got an 81 on it. I already knew most of the things they were teaching in that course, so I didn't even attend any lecture. Sparknotes for the win!
I'm gonna get a minor in Public Health. I skipped English 203 and went directly into English 204 (Advanced English) because of the high score in Writing that I got in the SAT exam. SO now I get to choose any other class to make up for the credits. I choose Environmental Health, and with the other courses the faculty forces us to take, I get a minor. It's awesome how easy and clear cut it is, lol. It's too bad they don't have "concentrations" in my major.
I'm finishing highschool. Not sure how it's like in other countries but over here you have to choose a specialization at age 17ish, I went for engineering, mainly because I'm disgustingly good at maths and physics, at least to our country's educational standards. I'm not sure what to do next, but I'd like to study physics and go into the whole "alternative energy" field, or delve deeper into the modern physics: Relativity, quantum physics, string theory and such. I always get mesmerized reading about those things but I don't really understand them.
That would be my economically/profesionally-wise decision. Another path would be studying music. I've taken guitar lessons since I was 7, I'm fairly decent at it, and recently started writing my own songs. I played and sang the first song I ever wrote in a concert organized by my former guitar profesor and it was amazing. But, of course, I don't stand much of a chance if I dedicate myself only to that.
So, ideally, physics as a living, music as a hobby.
As of late, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I'm thinking that I'm going to graduate high school and just chill for a bit, keep working (if I have a job by then). If I'm up to it, I'll go to the local community college for a two year term.
Then I want to go to Finland and study there.
Yes. Finland. Free tuition, man. Plus, it has one of the highest ranked educational systems in the world (tied with New Zealand, Australia, and Denmark for first).
I plan on studying in Finland for four years, maybe six, and that' where my plan stops. I don't know if I'd want to come back to the U.S, I've grown tired of this place.

i worked in drug discovery and i had to wait hours for compounds to react. days for samples to grow. all whilst i sat on a chair and browsed the web. you said you wanted to do research, thats how research is. plus the paper i wrote got slammed by almost every journal i sent it too...lol that was to be expected though, no Phd. after my name
id do pub health but, this is going to sound so bad, i dont give a fck about some areas of the public. like the homeless and all that stuff.
med school is alot of work, but im talking to professors and hearing what they say about that and grad schools. maybe ill just get my phd and be a professor too, but when i think about, i cant really teach either lol.

"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
Yeah, that sounds like hard work, browsing the web and stuff. I DO THAT WHILE AT HOME! I wouldn't really mind. If I didn't go into research, I wouldn't mind at all. Working at a lab, a hospital, some company as a Something-ologist would also be great.
It's awesome how easy and clear cut it is, lol. It's too bad they don't have "concentrations" in my major.
Dunno, most majors here are fundamentally clear cut. E.g., you have computer, civic, environmental, aerospace, etc. engineering back here. But CS is like a one giant ball and they used to have no concentrations and everyone got lost in it. From what I am aware, CS is the only major here that has concentrations, and this is one of the few colleges that even bothered to do that to begin with.
Meph, I'm surprised you don't want to bio-engineer a virus, bacteria, or parasite (Basically a R&D project for you.) so you could turn the entire world into your sex slave. Good thing too because I'm not letting you into my anus anytime soon.
If you take hematology, could you find a way so people who can't donate blood due to medical reasons can donate. I can't donate because I had Human Pituitary Growth hormone shots when I was five and if I donate that blood, the receiver could die.

I have no fucking idea. Plan was to become an "master of science in engineering", my whole mindset since junior high was pretty much something with math or physics.
Turns out that wasn't really what I wanted to do though. Next week I'm starting with economics instead, and we'll see how that goes.
