    Ha!  You guys said crotch.....

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    I've recently had the same type of realization myself. I hit 25 and realized I had no education, no savings, a 13 year old dying car and only six years of experience at a call center to put on a resume. Within just 4 months I now have a new job(5x better in every way), am starting school in a few weeks, have a brand new car, and finally have money in the savings account. The point is, I too hate how long it took for me to realize what I wanted to do with my life. I started college right after High School but had absolutely no drive or direction and gave it up after just a handful of credit hours. Now I'm going to have to kill myself to get a Bachelors in just 3 years instead of 4, and since I'll need at least a Masters to even have a shot at a dream job in  the Anthropology field, I'll be at least 30 before I can even start climbing the job ladder. I would really love to smack the crap out of my younger self for not figuring things out earlier.

    Now we know you're new here and not an alternate account. Or you're misleading us.  Where'd I put that bubble wrap aluminum foil?

     

     

    I really am new here.  And now I think I'm hiding from you!  image

     

     

    Edited to add:  I'm thinking about anthropology, too, Laserwolf, and I'm pushing forty, so I guess I'll have to smack myself almost twice as hard as you will.  And add another slap because I have my heart set on a PhD.  Mostly so I can giggle when people call me "Dr."

    I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

    What is your dream job in the anthropology field?

     

    Edit: For both of you who want to get into anthropology.

    I'm still a bit vague on that one.  I know that I'm too old and too tired to go mucking around after pottery shards in the dirt, and I already hate people enough without going into forensic anthropology and working on current murder cases (although it would be fascinating).  And sadly, unless I can figure out how to get a computer to do all the math and math related science for me, genetic anthropology is out.

     

    So I'm looking for a way to spend the next twenty or thirty years hiding in libraries and behind my computer researching and writing in that area where anthropology, history, and sociology meet.  I'm particularly interested in religion, as that strange form of socially acceptable psychosis seems to have been with us for a very long time and is still with us, but I'm scared to look at what has already been done on it, because I'm afraid there's probably not much left unsaid on the subject.  Plus, in case you can't tell by my wording, I still have an axe to grind on the matter of religion, and I'd have to spend a few more years calming down before I could look at it objectively at all.

    Very cool. You're never too old to learn, and if you ever have any questions about the field you can PM me anytime.

    I have a bachelor's in psychology (which I loathe as a 'science', hence the reason I went a more scientific route the second time) and I'm currently studying science-based archaeology and physical osteo and paleoanthropology (bones and human evolution, basically). It's refreshing to see something that has become mundane to me seen as the 'dream career' of, apparently, multiple people. It's amazing and I'm grateful. All in the spirit of this thread, that's how I know this is my calling in life.

    I have to admit, I've always wanted to go to Egypt or Peru and sift through the ruins, discover new things they did we originally would think impossible. Hell, I'd be happy to do nothing all day but brush dirt off ancient pottery with tiny brushes. Plus, I do have to admit I'd love to find evidence of ancient astronauts having visited thousands or  evn millions of years ago.image

    Unfortunately, I don't think they'd actually pay me to do that without the experience and I'm barely scraping by as it is without adding more student loans ( still have two already hanging over my head from vocational schools).

    Well... my choice so far has been an Apprenticeship as an Electrician.  I kinda wished I started it just out of high school instead of dicking around for a couple of years doing nonsense.  I would have been done by now.

    I'm not far from finishing my training and figure I'd keep this as my source of income while I look for something else to pursuie.  This way I know that I'm good with at least one thing.  I was thinking I'd look into a pyrotechnic license after I finish my electrical stuff and see if I can marry those 2 together and find an exciting way to make it a job.  However, I have no concrete plans as to what I'm gonna do in a year and a half when all this stuff comes to it's conclusion.  I guess time will tell.

    1) is your dream job to make an attraction that people will go to?

    2) does your dream job involve writing?

    3) how impossible is it to accomplish your idea? for example I have an idea that involves using holograms to make twin racing rollercoasters ride right on through eachother.... so you would be crashing through the hologram image of the other rollercoaster that you are racing

    Yeah huh, I just realised she basically said nothing about this new infatuation, so I am just going to pretend it's pole dancing and call it a day.

     

    I"m not reading the entire thread, just assuming Teala never said what it was.

     I said my dream job is feasible...sheesh...it is getting that job that is hard.   It's not like I can go to school and tada I am working at my dream job.   Trust me...I have been researching mountains of information on how to make this happen and as I said this will be no easy task.    I will do this though....I have committed myself to making it happen.    I have all ready started the journey.   I am not turning back now.   :)

    You know what sucks...it sucks to read an entire thread and find out nothing of substance was said by the OP the entire time.

     

    Although that fortune cookie message is spot on, and I don't have the gumption to drop everything I've worked towards and do what I want to do. Not that I even know what I want to do, but after a year in the social work field, I know that sure as hell isnt what I want. That's why I called in today and decided to sit around my house drinking beer.

    I'm 29 and graduating this fall with an Urban Land Use major.  If I cannot get a job next year it looks like I will be stuck at P.F. Chang's China bistro Serving tables for many years to come.  No matter how shitty the economy gets people must eat, correct? I've been in the service industry since I was 15, and it's kinda depressing when it seems this black hole just keeps me stuck there, it is hard to get out of that 'easy money hustle' mode.  I'll just have to wait and see what doors open up, and that will take some time.

    You say it like walking away with 70 bucks in your pocket on weekdays, and upwards of 200 on weekends, for a 5 hour shift is a bad thing.

     

    Honestly, I was in the service industry right up until I graduated. I bitched and bitched, but looking back, as a server at a good restaurant I got about the same money I get now and all I had to worry about was some asshole who gripes about his food being wrong. And I got to show up at 5 pm. And it's cash money in your pocket on a daily basis, so you always have spending money.

    Yea I get insurance and sick leave, but it was nice getting drunk with my manager, getting paid damn good money, and having no real responsibilities. Hell, the $250 paycheck every two weeks was like a bonus.

     

    I just wish I could go back in time and enjoy how frivolous restaurant life is. I worried about it back then of course.

    If I told you all what my dream job is, most would laugh, some would say good luck - then laugh, and the rest would think I am crazy.  But everyone of you would probably also think, "...frak that is so cool - I wanna do that!"  That is why I am not saying what it is yet.  ::sigh::  I can tell you this about it - right now on the whole planet Earth there are less than dozen people that do this job.   I wish to be one of them - but what I wish to do is a little different than the dozen that do it today.   ^_^  

    My dream job is a cross between what these dozen people do, and probably another 100k+ around  the world do on a daily basis.   Other than that I really can't say any more.   The day will come though and I'll be able to tell you.   Until then.   Just wish me luck/   I have a very, very, very daunting task ahead of me.
