CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

You sound like me... I like programming and games, but I also love writing...

In answer to your question I owrk at hastings

Right now I am working on a Computer information Systems degree. I then plan to get my foot into the door of the computer world. Once there I can look around and go where the money is. As long as I work with computers I'll be happy. So wherever the money is is where I'll go. I think networking sounds interesting.

If you have multiple interests, you can pick one career and keep the other as a hobby. It's hard to make a career out of any of those fields - medicine or writing or engineering, etc. They all require a lot of study and practice. Engineering and Computer Science lead to good, challenging jobs that require both your math skills and your creative skills. Once you make it through college and get a "real world" job, you can still pursue creative writing as a hobby, too. Things to think about.

Right now I'm working as an organic chem. tutor and I want to be a pharmaceutical researcher.

I'm a family practise resident (18 more months to go). I used to be a database administrator and developer before I went to medical school.

Well, to begin with I'd recommend taking courses as broadly as possible while you're still in highschool. This will at least give you a better idea of the nature of the field. Likewise, reading books on your subjects of interest is a good way of understanding what you like and what you don't.

Speaking as an engineer, there is a lot of room for creativity in the profession. After all, engineers are the ones who research and design the technologies that make the modern world. This requires a lot of ingineuity and a great willingness to learn (and to keep learning). It is also a field that is not restrictive- it is often cross-fertilized by other disciplines. For example, environmental engineering may require an understanding not just of engineering principles, but also of ecology, geology and politics. Much of my own research (which has mainly focussed on neural networks) draws from psychology and neurobiology. You could of course, always take a minor in subject if time permits.

Does anyone have a clue in what I should do???

First off, I didn't know at 16yr what I wanted to do w/ my life. Still confused sometimes. You're still in that age range where you should start thinking about it, but don't stress too much about it. My opinions changed every month. I wanted to be a doctor, then a pharmacist, dentist, then etc... etc...

WHat ever you choose should be your choice and not your parents. Well, because it's your life, not thiers. You have to life it. Personally, it's pointless to get a job if it makes you unhappy or miserable, even if it does pay a lot. So to anwser your question about what you should do.... It's not my choice, it's yours. Just keep your options open. Sometimes we find the anwsers to our questions indirectly (or out from nowhere).

Dishwasher, ameteur writer, Beyblader, student, general oddball, Fullmetal Alchemist, take you pick.

M.O.P.S = Watching little ones while moms have fun.

nice name, you are korean im guessing. (by your username, im korean too) I can definately voucher. My parents are like "you MUST be a doctor! or blahblah whatever not working at some liquor store or a dry cleaner"

well, i have some weird interest in psychology, like human behavior and stuff

Well, my job right now is working at a Christian bookstore. I'm working on becoming an author.

i am a waiter at a retirement home

i remember i went through about 2 years struggling with what i wanted to do...mom was pressuring for a high paying job too so i understand...and i was struggling where to go to school, in state, out-of-state, what field etc etc etc etc and then i decided to just stop worrying about it

well God finally revealed to me what he wanted me to do and that's for me to be a martial arts instructor ^^

i know it's hard but i think that you'll know when you find the job you want to do and i know it's frustrating and hard to have the patience to wait i suggest tho that you keep doing what you love...God isn't gonna drop the ball He'll show you where to go ^^ hang in there bro!

BANANA!!

I'm a database programmer.........::cries::

I wish I could be something exciting like a doctor, film director or even a rockstar. Ah well, it's all good in the neighborhood.

maintenance at my church

I'm a graduate research assistant (aka graduate student) in food science. My job varies from hardcore research stuff (i.e. analyzing phytochemicals, processing foods and developing value-added food products, running consumer taste panels, and writing papers for publications) to lab maintenance (keeping the inventory, fixing machines when it breaks down).

It's most likely that I'll be a sensory specialist in the future, who's responsible for collecting and analyzing marketing research data from taste panels for food companies. ^__^

I do construction... Would I recommend it as a career? No, probably not.

But it is pretty good as a part time job. And the stuff you learn is quite useful. And there's that whole WWJD thing... Jesus was a carpenter...

I worked construction on a jobsite last summer- I would suggest you stay as far away from jobsites as you possibly can. It was not fun, and two of the guys were living in halfway houses because they had committed crimes.

Currently I work Inventory at BestBuy unloading the trucks and putting the items on the self. I'm so used to manual labor... Done it all my life so it's hard for me to complain about any physical aspects of my job. I get really bored when they need me to cover security at Bestbuy, all I do is stand in one place watching the cameras and greet the customers when they walk in. Err...
Anyways, my job consist of constantly getting TV's down from the top shelves then loading 50+ TV's back up when the truck comes. Many that are 27" plus... some 50"... Then the dishwashers and dryers.... err.. Lifting TV's over my head all day gives me a good workout.

Before this job, I worked at a food store. Baggier to cashier to the grocery department. I was really the only guy in the grocery dept. that loaded the Frozen foods onto the shelves. I would spend 5hrs a day in those darn freezers... brr.... Also, I enjoyed the grocery department because I kepted busy, unloaded the trucks and such.

I've done (late night) stocking & inventory at a grocery store for the first few months I was out of high school, then some machinist & welding work at Kawasaki for one summer (which turned to an odd case, some of the managers are from Japan and one gave me good references for my student exchange trip and offered to help me find a nice apartment if i didnt want to be in the dorms).
