I was just wondering what everyone's up to. Where are you headed? Do you have a plan? Or are you just coasting for now?

I'm a second year psych. major at a small university in Ontario. I haven't exactly decided what I'm doing but I'll either end up owning a store, becoming a psychologist or a drama teacher.

Right now, though, I'm a customer service attendant at a variety store, yeah, that's just fancy talk for I'm a cashier at Mac's. (:

So, what do you do? Are you going to school? What are you going to do?

I have a year left at the University of Southern Indiana, where I'm a threatre major with a psyc minor. When I graduate in may I plan of saving money and getting the fuck out of Dodge. Destination: Sunny Southern California. While I'm there I'll be holding down a crap job while seeing what I can do about persueing an acting career. Mostly holding down a crap job

Working my rear off as a pre-Physicians' Assistant student(or pre-nursing if I am crushed by this semesters' load ) until my honey boy fulfills his military obligations.Then,next year,...it all depends on where I go for my Masters' ..or for that 'Plan B' BSN. Once that is completed, it all depends on where he wants to get his Law Degree.
In other words, I will be a successively more and more overworked nomad for the next 3 or 4 years.

I eventually want to do Integrative Medicine(mixing 'regular' medicine with Acupuncture/Ayurveda,etc) but that won't be for a while.

I'm currently starting a gap year before going to University to study for a BA (Hons) in Music Technology. Hopefully i'll be able to rustle up enough cash to come out of Uni with little debt.

Maybe even in credit :S

I am currently enrolled in nursing school. As of this moment, I am quite sure I will never know what I want to be when I grow up. At 32 this will be the fourth time I have returned to school for a career change... (electronics engineering, information technology, and film were my previous majors.) I think my ultimate goal may be drug and alcohol counseling. Presently I am recovering from addiction myself. I just completed rehab on the 24th.

cool thing about overcoming addiction PaleAngel. Well im trying to get thru my senior year in high school. Go to college in Tonkawa, oklahoma and major in graphic design. after that maybe move to montana or France.

I'm working as a programmer, developing software for banks. Planning on saving up some money at the end of the year so me and my lady can get our own place and move in together. I also have student loans to pay off, having just graduated a year ago. Eventually I'd like to work my way up to a computer security position careerwise.

I am entering my second year at a major acting conservatory in Los Angeles, while using most of my free time to get in shape and develop my skills. A year from now, I will either be in the third year "company" program, or else pounding the pavement for roles (hopefully with the help of a good agent . . . finally) and trying to sell my screenplays. The plan is to be a working actor/writer/director, although what I really want is to start my own theatre company and film production house. Mostly, I just want to get married to blood_rose and start a family, which is far more important than any vain career prospects I may have.

I graduated in December with a degree in Forensic Anthropology, and am currently working as a medical office assistant. I've decided not to get a master's in anthro, but I'm going back to school for a degree in fashion design.

Right now, though, my plans are up in the air. I'm going through some tough times emotionally, and I want to sort that out before I leave. I've also got to settle my grandmother's estate before I do anything. It's a big mess, and I'll be glad when it's over.

Wow. We have two actors in the mix. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of acting. I've done my fair share, but nothing much came of it, yet. So, I'm studying my psych until that dare-to-be-great moment comes along...

Sketch <-- Future World Famous Actress :p

Five years out of college with a BA in Organizational Communications and Management of Not-for-Profit Organizations, I'm back at square one.

No, I haven't returned to school (though it isn't out of the question -- I would like the graduate degrees), but I've found myself re-learning to stand on my own two feet. To pay the bills, I slave away at a job I pretty much hate but that is pretty good for this town. Otherwise, I've launched my own Mary Kay business (extra money & flexibility) and am working on three novels. Ultimately, I no longer wish to be a corporate slave. If life were perfect, I'd become a published author. I don't care if I'm rich, but it'd be nice to make ends meet with my writing. But, even if that never happens, if one person reads my work and sees its effect in themselves, it's worth it.

Long term future beyond that? Who knows? I most likely won't be around my current locale much longer. Too many places to see. At some point, I'd like to have some type of family, I suppose -- though most of the time, it seems that isn't quite in the cards for me. Right now, it's all about breaking the boundaries of what I'm supposed to be and becoming who I am.

I'm studying literature at the University of Oslo, and should have my bachelor's degree in about two and a half years, if everything goes according to plan. After that, I will most likely try to get into one of the writer's academies we have in this country (schools where published and often quite famous authors teach you how to write), as the first real step towards a career as a writer. Not to say that I'm not learning from what I'm doing right now.

Like scarlettdraelynkhar, I am also of the opinion that if one person reads what I write and gets something out of it, it's all worth it. Still, considering the choices I have made in my life up until now, I don't really have a choice but to pursue a full-time career as a writer, and I hope to get a novel or short story collection published before I'm 30.

Other than that, I want to travel a lot, and see as much of the world as possible. I have already explored parts of the Americas, so I really want to see Asia and Africa. I dream about owning a house in the African countryside, far away from modern life, where I can just be in peace and concentrate on my writing.

You certainly do have a wonderful way with words. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you end up as an author. What kind of literature do you write?

Well, I'm a junior history major at a PA University. I'm also living in an apartment with 2 other girls, which is so much better than being in a dorm. After college, I have no idea of what I want to do, other than something in the history field. I may get my master's if I can't get a good job without it or if I ever do decide to teach. It drives me insane whenever I tell people my major--their respsonse is always, "So you're going to be a teacher?"

In October, I'll be taking a trip to Boston and Salem, so that should be a lot of fun.

Since 1985, I've been running our sporting goods store, along with my husband. We'll never get rich at it, but we make a decent living and get to live in this beautiful place. The best part of my life...the commute. I have to go downstairs to go to work, which is excellent when it's -20 degrees F in January. We'll be doing this until we retire.
