So what do you want to do with your life

[Juche]

Any goals, any bucket lists, anything that you would like to see achieved that you want to be a part of before you die?



I think I'd like to switch professions and work with the brain, but worry career options would be shite if I did. I'd also like to get more involved in progressive political issues on a more grassroots level. Like to live overseas for a while and eventually (I think) settle down to a nice, progressive town.

1. I WANT TO ROCK.

ROCK!

14. Nice work, Niedermayer

Thread over in one. :thumbsup:

3. I've always wanted to run a career from home, but only if the home

were a small cabin or farmhouse in upstate New York or Vermont.

[Initech]

5. I want to create something.

I dont know what that is yet. Something, anything.

[MorningGlow]

6. Dunno

But whatever it is, I'd like it to bring in just enough money so I don't have to lie awake worrying how to pay today's bills and provide for my dotage in the future.

7. I got this dream about buyin' some land

I'm gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then I'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything

[Juche]

9. Oh please

We both know you'll never stop movin, never stop groovin, since you're a rollin stone.

So lets not kid ourselves.

8. US State Department Foreign Service.

I've wanted to do that for almost 10 years now, and I pass the written exam with no problem, but keep running into a buzzsaw in the assessment center exercises.

I especially feel I want to do this now. Our diplomatic corps has a LOT of damage control to do, and I want to be a part of it.

[Juche]

10. Interesting

What is the applicant/opening ratio there? I would assume pretty high.

Are you looking at being a public diplomacy officer?

[arbusto_baboso]

11. About 1 in 6 of the people who get to the assessment center stage actually are offered a job.

And only about 10% of those who take the written exam pass. Don't know the exact applicant/opening ratio. It is VERY competitive for positions, though.

And I was looking at either Public Diplomacy or Consular career cones.

12. Did you ever get the question about being an FSO in Bangkok

and a group of American high school students have been arrested for desecrating a temple? I think I answered something brilliant like "I would fall back on my training" and that was pretty much the end of that assessment.:)

[arbusto_baboso]

13. Didn't get that one.

I haven't tested since 2003, though. I figure it's safe(r) to do so again.

15. I want to hone my harp skills

and be able to bring joy to others (I seem to have a bit of a start these days).

[Deja Q]

16. Become a successful marketer, ironic as that sounds.

[Creena]

17. Wildlife Rehabber

I initially started majoring in Anthropology, but I'm happiest saving or helping animals. I suppose a concentration in Physical Anthropology could potentially lead to Primatology, but I'd rather have a wider discipline.

[femmocrat]

18. I just want to live long enough to enjoy retirement!

That seems to keep getting pushed off further and further into the future, however.

If I ever get to retire while I can still walk, I want to visit every National Park. I especially want to go to Yellowstone.

Is that too much to ask?!

[Critters2]

19. I wanted to have children. Not gonna happen. nt

[704wipes]

20. I wanna go to Memmmmphhissssss...

And yes I want to see Graceland too, and by god next week I am doing it !!
