To and fro the island.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After doing a search, I was unsuccessful in finding a thread of a similar topic, and therefore decided to make one of my own.

The question is simple: "When you are older, whether older meaning out of High School or after College, or simply later in life, what do you want to do with your life?

I have various hopes for my future.

- Journalism: Since I was a child, I've enjoyed writing, and have always wanted to be a novelist. As I've grown, however, that desire to be a novelist has become something a bit more concrete, being a journalist. Becoming even more concrete, in the recent months I have taken a large interest in political happenings, in which being a political journalist would be my desire.

- Politician: Growing up a shy, timid individual, leadership is the last thing many would think I'd be interested in. That said, as I've gotten older my views have become solid, and I've gained quite a few opinions of my own, opinions I think are solid enough to go head to head with that of some of my elders. My mere issue is speaking my opinion. I still am not one to take control in all situations, in which I think it vital to my success in this field. It's something I've been working on quite a bit over the past month or so, and something I think will take time, but I'll break out of this rather timid and pessimistic stage in due time.

My true hope would be to some day become President of The United States, something I really would like to do to help the nation in which has lost many of the values it once had. I'd also very much like to be a Justice, or Chief Justice, in the Supreme Court of The United States. You may think that they are silly desires, but they are that of mine, and if I set my mind to it I think I could achieve one of these things.

People like yourself still have many options to pursue, thus the reason why I said "later in life".



Very nice. We all know you'd be a great writer, and I'm sure you'd excel in graphic design as well. Graphic design used to be something I'd be very interested in, but I became less and less interested in such things as I got older, taking more interest into literature and writing it, then drawing and creating art and things of that regards.


I'm currently a P.E. teacher, but never thought that would be my outcome at a younger age.

No, not really. Would you rather be the commander or the commanded? NCO's don't get the same recognition or authority tht CO's get. Plus, enlisting is more dangerous than going to college first. Don't get me wrong, enlisting is a fine backup option, but I think most would prefer to lead, given the opportunity.

If you want to fly, you have to be an officer with a 4 year degree.

The current General of the Army, Marine Corps and Admiral of the Navy didnt enlist. Enlisting doesn't make you a leader, it makes you a follower until you reach the NCO rank.

You get trained on how to lead men into battle--1 to 2 years of training and NCOs will help you.

Unless you do gay porn, male porn stars dont get paid shit. Supply and demand..there is a high supply of competent, eager male porn stars and not nearly as many slots for them. I legitimately looked into it lol

Ever since I was little, I was fascinated in being a Video Camera Operator (cameraman). I really like the idea that what you do is being broadcast to thousands, and possibility millions of viewers, which is always a rush. I really like filming sports and concerts, so I really want to get into it.
