Dai the Socket Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm thinking about life at the moment. (Y) I'm really not sure what I want to be when i'm older. I'm thinking about the Police, but not 100% on that one. I was thinking about Architecture but I went there on work experience and it seemed so LAME! What do you want to be when you're older? :) I can't decide what to do. Apprenticeship, or 6th Form, then Uni? or what! Anyways. Gimme your opinions etc. Thanks for 'you time. -=Nick=- :D:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I want to do something to do with engieering. I'm doing manufacturing engineering at college at the moment and I love it (Y) Was thinking of going into shell oil or something like that, teacher said it would be good if i did anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Morris Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I want to work in television. It seems like a good place to work, something different happening each week, and it's well paid. I'm in my second year of University at the minute doing a degree in Media Studies, so hopefully that will set me off on the right path.

Sam Nichols Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 well im at sixth form currently.... but the plan so far is... 1 - Save loadsa cash during A levels. 2 - After A levels go to the UK with my car and bikes for a year or as long as I can keep myself in food and water for. 3 - Then either go to university, get a job in journalism or get a really high paid but probably boring bank job until about 2011 when I purchase a cycle shop jointly with a guy I know. 4 - Spend rest of my life working in the one place i love with the one thing i love - bikes :) 5 - Eventually set up mail order, couple of shops etc EXPANSION My careers teachers and teacher type people think i'm being silly and not think its jsut a dream, but hell I AM A DREAMER - however, this is one dream that WILL be realised... maybe i won't ever be good enough at cycling to get paid for it... but one way or another im going to earn money by working in the cycle industry (Y) apologies for the poor spelling/grammar - i get really excited talking about my plans and type very quick :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you like just be hired by a company, say ermmmmm. MBUK, and get paid to go the something, say the bikeshow, and take loads of ace pictures. Then MBUK will buy them off you, or they'll be included in the overall price? Stuff like that but for anything, not just biking? (Y) I really like photography too you see :D And Media stuff. Especially Graphic Design though, but my mum says unless you make it really big, then you dont get much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Architecture, but not boring stuff like flats... (Y)" ← The Architects place I went to was mega boring. They did loads of houses. Some conversions so that you can have a lift in your company's building. Then some really expensive posh houses. Seems v boring IMO. I need something that's interesting to me, design work, media, use of Mac's or computers preforably! Or a physical job like the police maybe. Something that's new every day. You've got space to progress into higher pay and stuff. I quite like advertisement and designs of posters / product design so maybe something in that might be good for me :) Edited March 31, 2005 by mod661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Quinn Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'd definately like to go into the computer feild but not so much the hardware puttin g them together type thing, more programming and web design/development. That's pretty much my dream as i've realised that being paid to ride (BMX or trials) isn't likely to happen (Y) . I also want to be freelance to give me more freedom.

tomturd Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Wanna do an MBA (a year long business degree add on thing) once I finish this course, set up a business of some description, get it worth alot, sell it while im still young and retire (in an ideal world..). Doubt that'll happen though, but eitherway I want to be setting up my own business somewhere along the line. Just need an idea now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm thinking of engineering atm. In my 6th form interview I was told that the subjects I had chosen were near enough perfect for it. We then got talking about University and he was saying how if you go to one of the major cities you can actually get paid to do your course by companies, as much as £30k a year (Y) . Not bad for a student :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 When I left 6th form I wanted to do something in engineering or mechanics, I ended up as an office administrator (Y) I dont know what I want to be, I never really have, erm, this posts not very useful, er, I think the point i'm making (badly) is that you dont neccessarily have to know what you want to do.

Royaltrials Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I want to be happy. On a side note, some of your aspirations... (Y) I know you're only young but I promise you, there's more to life than bicycles. This thread has a positive vibe :) Go for it! I'm doing an MSci chemistry degree. I don't want to be a scientist. Last year 43% of chemistry graduates went on to work for financial companies. My options are open. I want to get a first or a 2.1 from Bristol University. That will do nicely.

Steve-A Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I want to be happy. ← For me that is the main criteria. I would just like a job that is enjoyable, and I wont wake up everyday thinking " Oh no, I have work today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need something that's interesting to me, design work, media, use of Mac's or computers preforably! ← Fair enough, I was looking at the same as you, graphics design and other such, large format printing, etc. which is where I went to do work experience, but decided sitting inside all day working out why I couldn't justify my text to an article on Quark wasn't my thing... But I still enjoy design so I started looking at more 'practical' applications and such, so I started looking at architecture, and I think that's what I want to do.

Todge Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well, I still ldont have a clue. Though I am heading down the industrial and automotive design route at the momen, so maybe I will end up designing cars or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm doing an MSci chemistry degree. ← What's the difference between a MSci and a BSc? Right now, I'm doing medicine at uni. Kinda shoehorns me into one profession, but I don't mind at all. It's great. I'm sure I'll be happy doing that :) (Although I need to fight that feeling that is saying give up uni and go and live in France being a snowboard bum (Y) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
