When I grow up, I want to be a principal or a caterpillar
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

I want to be the President.
Before that I'd like to be in congress or a governor.

Aside from being an elected official though I plan to go into corporate law or criminal defense. My only other thing that I want to do is go into business (kind of a reason I want to do corporate law, it'll be a mix) and be like a CEO or something major like that. However being a lawyer is the most realistic and probably what will happen.

It would have been nice to design video games, but right now I'm thinking I'm shooting for scientist in math or science or engineering.
errr... something like that...

Virtually the same.

Some sort of (big) business law for a while, state rep, senate ;)!

I don't care what I am.  I just want to be happy doing whatever it is I do.  It'll probably be something to do with science, but not sure!
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Good question.  I remain unsure at this point, but I'm fairly certain it will be in the fields of computer science or mathematics and that I want to attend graduate school, focusing on one of those subjects.  Software engineer seems fun, but so does staying in academia -- specifically, being a professor.  If the latter is the case, I'd get a Ph.D.  I guess it all depends on how my undergraduate career goes.  It's going very well now, but that doesn't tell me much about what I want to do... :)

Well, confidence is good, but too much just makes you look like a dick. ;) Just watch. You'll be running for something, and someone from x86 will post all the asinine things you've said in the past. I didn't say me! No, never me!

And yeah, I want to be an astrophysicist, biochemist, a composer, and an English teacher. But, I'm going to do my part to society and breed with an extra smart male so my children turn out even smarter and rule the world.

I don't really know what my real plans are right now. I'd really, really like to be an artist. But I'm lacking sufficient talent at the moment; soooo, I may just get a physics degree and see how things go from there.

So long as everything comes out in the context it's said I believe trust is good.
