What to do??

[jcfla9]

Do you have an idea of what you want to do when you get older? Or if you already are "older" what is your current occupation? Here's mine:

When I turn 18 I hope to go into the Army. Once out of the Army (around age 21) I hope to join my local Sheriffs Department. I don't think I'm going to do college. I'm not sure. Please if you have suggestions on college for law enforcement. I would like to be a zone deputy. But anyways post away guys! :)

My ultimate goal is to compose music for film/tv, or become a music teacher. Possibly both! That would be perfect...

Baha, everyone says that. I know that when I finish my first proper album (I've done several EPs with various bands) I've got loads of people to thank :P

Thanks for the good luck, btw. And kudos for wanting to go into law enforcement, not enough kids do these days.

Problem is do you have enough time to balance work and college....

There is an edit button for a reason, please use it and do not double post.

12hrs on 36 off if your a normal zone deputy and dont work a sh*t load of details, i think its manageable. I plan on being a cop and running my own small business(web & graphic design), so yeah. :P

[jcfla9]

But isn't that half-time? I could do that and then go full time after college. I don't know if I would go all 4 years. That would be a pain in the ass.

No, thats full time. You work a 12 hour shift, have the other 12 hours and the next day off. LCSO has the A/B shift system. Kinda like block schedule, except instead of different classes you get the opposite day off.

Like lets say im A nights. I work my shift, then i have B day/night off, then A day off, then i got in and work my A night shift then. And so on.

I'm lost......Explain it too me Friday if you go.

no idea...I hope to go to a good college...I'm planning on doing a major that has something to do with accounting or computers...

[CaptainObvious]

I will be graduating from college at the end of this year, majoring in operations research and financial engineering. I'll be working for a boutique consulting company in Manhattan that focuses on strategy consulting for financial services entities (big investment banks, major exchanges, and so forth). I don't know if it's my dream job but it's definitely up there... and I didn't even really know what I would be doing after graduation until a couple of weeks ago. So don't stress it too much if you don't either.

Well of course I'm going to college, I really don't know why someone wouldn't want to. Afterwards, I would love to work in an investment firm, eventually opening my own.

[Theatheist of doom]

I've done a lot of self searching and well I started out wanting to be a lawyer and I searched myself and looked at other career options having to do with people and I realized being a lawyer is really what is best for me. I'm good at arguing and generally have good points to make. And one day I hope to handle some important cases. After I pass the bar test I'm going to do a one year program just to see what I'm getting into but for now I'm confident I've chosen the right path. I think it would be really entertaining to be involved in arguing a case. I don't think I could ever get bored with cases that are always different. And I think it would be a really fulfilling feeling to know that I did something good whether it be advising a good person/ company (for example some eco friendly company, or a politician who shares my political views) or arguing a case in court in order to protect the greater good.
Also I realize I don't have the drive or patience to go into medicine, and I hate math so I don't really want to do anything to do with sales. I have a deep rooting fear of dogs so I couldn't be a veterinarian. And I'm too lazy to be a politician. I'm not sure the whole essay thing was need I'm just really enthusiastic. Oh and the zero's on my pay are just an extra.. xD :D

After I finish the A levels i have at the college I'm at at the moment im going to go on to a specialist Animal college just outside the city i live in. Hopefully from there to university and from there to be a Vet. I've wanted to work with animals since i was about 4-5 years old. I've had animals at home all my life and i'd like to give something back.
