We all know as a kid, everyone had a dream job. Astronaut, fireman, bus driver, hooker, lawyer, teacher, stripper, doctor, salesman. Every kid had a dream that they wanted to be someone who made a difference. So my question to you is, between then and now, what do you think has changed in your ideal career? Do you still want to be what you thought when you were 10 years old?

When I was little, I wanted to be a cowboy. Do I want to now? Er, well, aside from riding horses and looking good in cowboy gear, not really! :P

Currently I'm aiming for a career in acting, but I have to achieve a few other goals before I can really devote myself to that.

When I was ten, I wanted to do nothing.. At 6 I wanted to be a bus driver and do all that fun stuff, but at 10, I just wanted to be out of school and having fun.

Now we all know what I wanna be - I wanna be a game designer, and I want a family with Nell and only Nell, and I feel like that I'm meant to make people laugh or at least be some kind of entertainer. So we'll see about that, too.

~Mistress of the Bow~

When I was around 6 I wanted to be a singer or a model... HA :P Not saying anymore on that :P

In primary school and through a bit of high school I wanted to be a cartoonist. Then I started branching out to wanting to be an anime cartoonist or a manga artist. Then I started having thoughts of getting into game design when I was graduating.

I would still like to get into the gaming industry but I can't as yet, not with parents that don't support me <_< As I was so close to getting accepted but they refused to let me go any further :-_-:

So now I'm doing something I never thought I would do. But I'm enjoying it, and it will give me a chance to branch out and work up the ranks so it's okay for now. Might do something later *shrugs* Who knows, life seems to take everyone down a path they never expect coming :)

If you ever wanna go back into the game design thing, I'll see what I can do for you, eh? At least, when I get my own company started, you won't have to worry about college education, because though I may be picky, and I don't necessarily pick favorites, you could work for me. :lol: Mostly because you have talent, so I know what to expect from you.

I think, when I was really young, I wanted to be a marine biologist. That kind of fell through the floor, though. I think I got interested in drawing, but I always knew that I probably wouldn't make it, so I also was kind of thinking that I would do animation. I still do enjoy animation, but now I've changed my mind again. I'd probably shoot for having a job that includes both Japanese (language) and psychology. Maybe psycholinguistics or something. Still, it would be a shame for me to throw away my incredible spatial intelligence.

I guess it's too hard to see the future clearly. There are a lot of paths that I can take or blaze, and I'm still working to get to that particular fork in the road.

I'll be quite honest; I don't care about helping, either. Lol. My interest is in how the brain works, not in helping people.

So, I wouldn't be a clinical psychologist, by any means. No, I wouldn't be able to stand the complaints of people. I would most likely do something like research or the application of research in other ways besides clinical.

As a kid, I wanted to be a Formula One driver as my father watched it alot and was a huge fan, so I got into it.

As I grew up, I wanted something in the field of music, like a composer, then moved to making my own music in the hopes of going into video games music (I was around 13-14) but basically my music teacher was a traditionalist midget ***** who didn't encourage music or anythign new so I quit, was aimless for awhile then wanted to go into teaching in a field like geography but during college I found no love for the subject (I was good at it years before) and flunked in exams.
Crashcoursed 4 subjects in a year when I was 19 to get into uni and really rekindled my love for film and started doing outside projects, music videos etc and martial arts choreography for fun etc and ended up studying Film for 3 years at uni (Which im graduating from), hopefully I can find internship at a film company (Which im pretty darn close too with any luck) and continue my aspirations as a film maker/camerman or producer.

[size=1]A psychologist is my next option, i care a lot about people, how they feel and supporting them, too many psychologist dont take their jobs seriously. I mean if people would just give chances to oneanother, we all would be much happier. In my eyes everyone deserves a chance to be heard, i mean i know some people just like to rant, but there are real people in the world, and they deserve to be given the chance to change, a lot of people don't know how it is to trust another person, so if i do become a psychologist it'll be more than just a job to me.[/size]

We're allowed to say "bitch", ya know. :P But that makes sense, I had a teacher like that. Not a midget, but when you tried anything related to music, he was flippin his wig. And his last name was Rath.. funny, huh..

Um, perhaps you'd want to be a psychologist and not a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are more in line with the medical aspect. In other words, they give the pills. I suppose it does help some, but I tend to think that the more humanitarian aspect lies in psychology.

The way I look at it is this: There are a lot of things we don't know about the brain, and less about the mind, perhaps. For the betterment of mankind, or for ourselves, what does it matter? If I make a breakthrough study that ends up helping millions of people, what does it matter what my intentions are? There are plenty of people in psychology who aren't doing it "just to help people". There's clinical psychologists, for sure, but there's also industrial/operational psychologists and teaching psychologists, to name a few. There's no denying the interpersonal aspect, but it would be wrong to say that it's the defining part of psychology. You don't have to do it "out of the good of your heart" to make a change, and that's what matters.

For example, I would probably never end up as a clinical psychologist. I have poor interpersonal skills (at least, I think so; some strongly disagree with me on this, actually). But if I could unlock the secrets of the conscious, or implement a program involving groundbreaking research regarding, say, the psychological aspect of terrorism, I could definitely make a difference. Perhaps it isn't necessarily "to help others", in my opinion, but to bring to the table my skills when paired with a complicated situation, which in turn drives my flow. Regardless of my motivations, we have a common goal, and that's really what brings it all together.

I think there are about.. umm.. I think it was 30+ psychologist occupations, and only a few work with people. But when I was in Psychology this past quarter, we had to review EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM!! @_0

And there was a time in 8th grade, when I was 13 that I wanted to be a marine biologist. I still, in a way, kinda do want that one because I love the ocean and the millions of possibilities that you can experience with it..

The ocean is so-so for me, nowadays. Nothing special. Heh. And I don't feel like biology, because there are a lot more interesting things. The only thing I might possibly be interested in is human health and neuroscience.

Our book kind of hits all over the place when it comes to psychological stuff. Sure, we have chapters that would relate to clinical psychology, but how would understanding sensation and perception help when giving someone counseling? Or how about biopsychology? Sure, I guess if you prescribe pills, maybe. But that's not all people do.

I don't know, I think that being a research psychologist would be interesting. I wouldn't mind teaching, as long as I was teaching upperclassmen in college or something.

I think in that sense, your sense of psychology is more about studying the mind in general instead of personal. Studying brain and learning something new all the time, then realizing what part of your brain you used to learn something new. :P
