What do you want to do with your life, SE++?

Davoid · February 2009

Life is a pretty sweet fruit, SE++, but ya gotta have a goal if'n ya wanna score

So what do you want to do with your life SE++? Who's looking to be a movie star? Who wants to cure cancer? Who wants to be ruler of the universe?

I want to a biological scientist SE++! That's a pretty fun goal, right?

What do you want to be?

I am basically still a little kid in that all my aspirations are unrealistic and ridiculous

be Indiana Jones
be James Bond
fly around space and fight evil aliens
etc.

Seriously though I mainly just want to be a good father and husband
I think I'm a pretty good designer and I enjoy it so I wouldn't mind doing that for an income

But I'd love to be a stay-at-home dad.

I want to be a bear.

I am studying to be an archaeologist

Will I be happy in this field? I don't have a goddamn clue
sure, right now it sounds great, but down the line, who knows?
But you never know until you do the damn thing

But there is so much more I want to do in this life, but when will I have the time to do it?
I don't have an answer for that either

Also because of this thread I will probably have an existential crisis now

you want to be indiana jones, crisis averted.

Wrong, crisis MAGNIFIED

Because I want to be Indiana Jones but acting like Indy would get me fired, arrested, or killed really damn fast and hence I cannot be Indiana Jones, no matter how much I want to be

well ok, you need to find something the redefines history, like the arch or something. Than you can do whatever the fuck you want. Just like indiana jones. I got the order wrong but maybe thats the difference between movies an real life...think about it.

Davoid · February 2009

Well, my goal is to a scientist who also plays rock and roll guitar

I am trying to make it happen

the only part of my dream I think won't come true is the part where I have a giant space age Dexter's-esque lab under my house

Bioinformatics research

so I guess cure cancer is pretty close

I was considering going into bioinformatics

What's it like? I'm doing biotech stuff right now

I'm not in bioinformatics yet; finishing up software engineering in a few months then switching to bioinformatics for my master's.

My final undergrad project is applying the Cell BE to protein matching and it is way awesome.

Short term, I'm just hoping for weekends off (dare to dream...).

In actuality I applied for the military. Reasoning being, surely that BA in history is good for something!

Oh man that sounds like 15 kinds of badass.

I will definitely look into it after I finish my degree in biotech

I want to study psychology, because it is really the only thing I can even fathom being passionate about for the rest of my days.

This is kind of weird. But I swear that one day it will make me go insane if I'm any good at it. I mean look at all the famous psychologists who actually contributed something.

Grey Ghost · February 2009

See, in high school I got hella good grades and people were always telling me I was so best and one day I was gonna be real successful and shit, and I was like "I am just doing very slightly above average, I just look good cause everyone else at the school is subpar!"

and now that I'm out in college, and soon to be the real world, I realize that I'm not really great at any one thing

there is no single thing that when people think "who is good at x?" they realize that "oh yeah, Graham is good at x" (for that is my name)

I do not have a thing, I am just sort of here, doing stuff

I have no passion for anything I'm doing right now! I have to force myself to give a shit about school, I don't have any hobbies that I really give a damn about, I don't feel at home in the city where I go to school or the town where I went to high school and where my family still lives

I don't care about anything, and it sucks

Doodmann · February 2009

Sounds like you need to start singing the I'm a middle class white guy suffering from a lack of identity blues. You could make millions!
