"What do you want to do, when you are older?"

When your a big person, and are looking for work, what do you want to be? maybe, a police man, in the army, a mechanic, lord high emporor of the world, or a milkman etc.

same question, with just a little twist to people who already have a full time job. What is your job, is it whjat you wanted to do, is there something else you want to do?

I want to work on some kind of magazine, hopefully a playstation one as you have to be intrested and enjoy what you do, if you want to do it well.

I wanna be a slug

I want to be in a band actually and do a cover of Manics and Radiohead when I'm famous... YAS

I'm divided. One one hand, films are what I love, I watch them all the time, and those of you who visit the DVD forum will know I know a fair bit about them. So I'd love to be a film critic, and also a part-time author while I'm doing this. I have no interest in acting, just watching and moaning. ;-).

BUT, scuba diving is what I do with my time when I'm not watching films. I started five years ago, and I'm currently in a part time job I hate in order to get the money I need to learn how to teach. So I hope to be a marine biologist or a scuba diving instructor. Any of the futures I want to happen would be just peachy.

I want to own a record store

I want to be a paratrooper.

I want to do it as i enjoy games and i enjoy writing about them. you would get to visit some great places, shows etc, interview some great people, and you dont have to dress smart.

shame about the low pay :(

my parents dont want me to go into magazine, every time they ask me if i have thaught about what i want to do i tell them, they change the subject. then ask again a week or two later like our previous converation didnt happen.

I've been recommended Journolism by like Ten people inc. the careers officer and both parents!
The cool thing is I could do stuff like games or car mags or something and get to try out the latest games/cars!

Life can be good. Life can be very good.

I've wanted to go into the games business for ages, this thought in my mind that I'm going to make games in my own company. La de da.

I hate coding, can't stand it... but that's probably something to do with me not doing a hell of a lot of it, and not really learning at a very fast pace.

What I do enjoy, however, is design. Modelling characters, level design, animation, stuff like that. Anything visual. I've been doing it since January time, and I still really enjoy doing it. I'm actually beginning to get good now as well, which is odd.

I wrote to Rareware nearing January, explaining how dedicated I was to going into the games business as a 3D artist, and asking if work experience was possible. They said no, and offered me a job instead when I left school.

Since then I started doing the Fog Story animations, which I blag about at every chance I have. I wanted to animated some of the stories we wrote on here for personal reasons I suppose, as well as the fact that it would set me up a great portfolio for when I needed it.

I wrote a letter recently too, and the same still applies, so quite likely to have an interview August/September time next year.
