The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
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?
Alright mister what do you think you're doing
You call this a room? This is pigsty.
I want you to straighten up this area now!
YOU ARE A DIGUSTING SLOB!
STAND UP STRAIGHT. TUCK IN THAT SHIRT. ADJUST THAT BELT BUCKLE. TIE THOSE SHOES.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?!

I want to design cars
I wanna be the guy that says
"I think this company needs a V10 sports sedan, because that would be cool"
And then everyone would bustle along and make it
and it would roar at the stars as it tears the asphalt from the earth

here's one I prepared earlier
in 2018 I hope to be the owner of a small design studio staffed by people much more talented than me, swooping in twice a week to talk shit with my employees and art direct a photoshoot for a big name band album cover, spending most of my time looking after my son and daughter while my wife rehearses for an upcoming symphony.
in 2018 I will probably be a midweight mac-monkey, working at a local newspaper with a boss like Jonah Jameson, going home nightly to look at photos of my wife and ask myself why she had to kill herself 6 months after our wedding.
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
I would like a job where someone else could not just come in and replace me and get the same results. I really don't see this happening since I am pretty mediocre at everything and have no drive.

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

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

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.

University of North Dakota's apparently got a pretty stellar aviation program, so that's looking to be a big candidate so far.
Chico, stop!
I'm blushing
And get changed.
Satans..... hints.....
I was considering going into bioinformatics
What's it like? I'm doing biotech stuff right now
YEAH YEAH OKAY

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

It's going great so far
Well, what are you good at Rock Lobster? Also, I liked the album you have in your avatar and sig.
Are your hands warm?
you want to be indiana jones, crisis averted.
I guess that is reasonable
I have been wondering if I am smart enough for science, as calculus keeps ripping me a new one
but we gotta press on, right?
OH WAIT I ALREADY AM

Me too! Hi5
See, this is the attitude we all need!
be Indiana Jones
be James Bond
fly around space and fight evil aliens
etc.

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

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
You can't be a bear.
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.
Hell yeah
If you need to look us up, just turn your phonebooks to page "Awesome"
:maul:
In actuality I applied for the military. Reasoning being, surely that BA in history is good for something!
