I'll start this off guys. My life goals are to become a voice actor.
As of right now I don't really have any life goals, but I always (and still do) want to attend the USMA at West Point, NY.
There's already a thread for this. (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=8788.0)
Whoops, sorry. I guess I should of checked Front Lawns. :P
But would tweaking the name fix anything?
The job I want is to become a dance studio owner, or at the very least a dance teacher.
I want to be a lawyer!

I'm pretty much living my dream job at the moment. Writing/farming.
I live on a farm (technically) but I do
nothing outside. I mean,
nothing. I get super severe poison ivy. I was doing a service project (actually with my fellow scouts) fixing/renovating/cleaning a nun's yard. I came back and my arm looked I was from Mars or something. it was all over my arm for months. my skin is discolored in several places, and it feels terrible to rub your hand across.

mine was about 10 times worse than the arm in this link. I could not bend my arm, I could not lift anything. It was a nightmare. my brother got the same thing but on his face, which is always 100 times worse than your arm because it is always exposed and you can't just keep it ac bandaged all the time. if only I had eaten more mangos as a child!
I spend basically all of my time either on the farm, on my phone, or asleep (not account ting for prayer or meals etc.)
(Currently dealing with a poison ivy infestation, I will avenge you!)
DEATH TO POION IVY!!!! BWWHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
another problem with poison ivy is that unlike most things, the more you get it, the more severe it comes back. I have only gotten it about 3 times, and it just gets worse and worse. the ironic thing is that was wearing long sleeves and long gloves the whole time. no more gardening for me.
I have never had a problem with poison ivy, just with >8( SAWGRASS :'(
some people get it a little, some none, some super badly (my family) my dad is from Puerto Rico and he grew up eating mangos so he doesn't get poison ivy.
what is sawgrass?
Tall grass with little micro saw like blade on the side of the shoot, if you walk through that will out long clothing you will come out with tons of super small and deep cuts all over you that hurt a lot.
I have a field of dense sawgrass that I didn't know existed. That was a painful day.
At least it took you only once to figure it out ;)

I have never seen sawgrass in MD, thankfully. if only I could exchange sawgrass for poison ivy!
Experience it before you make the trade...
which is worse:
extremely ichy painful bubbly poion ivy that if you scratch the bubbles they spread, if you don't scratch you go insane and have to deal with that for 2 months and have permninant scaring and a weird skin texture
--or--
tiny extremly painful little cuts all over you
??.??.??.??.??.???
I wouldn't know, I have only experienced one of those
Id say Ivy is comparatively worse for someone with Witess lack of mango power. Though both are horrible Ivy doesn't affect me and my cows eat it by the dozen so I'd say Sawgrass is worse for me.
lucky duck.
You better count your lucky

YOUR PROFILE PIC
haha, that was terrible. ;D
That is what made it so funny :P
partially because I had to look at the spoiler to get it...
What! I put it in italics!
I know.. I even saw that..
(Psst. Guys. Let's stay on topic in post-counting boards.)
Working in a library would be nice, I think.
You think... ;)
My sister thinks so too
LAWYER!!
It would be kinda cool to be a historian
it would be cool but it sounds kind of dull in my perspective.. then again, I really don't know much about to really have a particular side..
Being a voice actor seems really fun! You can do voice over from your home and such. If you were wondering Tungro, I wasn't intending to reply to your post and be rude. Cause being an historian sounds awesome too!
I'm unsure if eating mangoes helps with poison ivy resistance, from a quick Google search. I'm really confused on that, gonna dog into more later.
Anyway.
My dream job is to be a dance teacher/studio owner. I already am a dance teacher in a way, but I'd love to experience it without having to answer to someone I strongly dislike and without her breathing down my neck.
Full-time author would be my ideal job. But I wouldn't mind a career in voice acting, or as a critic, or even a Youtuber. I also wouldn't mind being a librarian, or working in a book shop.

if I was going to be an actor, I think was would enjoy being a voice actor, but arguing is in me and I am fairly good at making cases (on a computer is harder, though) so I think someday I might be a good lawyer. ever need one just call me up as soon as I graduate law school. (that may be a while)
@corn mangoes are part of the poison ivy family, believe it or not and the more you eat them you grow an immunity to poison ivy, if I was to start eating them I would get the same reaction that I got from the poison ivy, except
inside of me. you might find, say Grey never ate a mango but poison ivy doesn't effect him anyway. it differs with the person (and yes, my mom and aunt ate mangoes a little while back and that happened).
So, just food for thought here. I'm not going to discourage anyone from doing anything, but if I can possibly put a thought into your head. . .
If there is anything I would like to encourage, it would be to not choose what you "want to do for a job" because you like the way it sounds or because you would "be good at it", like being a doctor because you like the way it sounds, or being an engineer because you're good at math. Because by deciding "what" one wants to do does not necessarily give them control over the outcome long term.
Instead, perhaps a better idea might be to decide the outcome one wants (i.e. the amount of money one wants to make, the kind of life one wants to live, etc.), and find the process that will provide that.
Because no matter how much a person likes underwater basketweaving, there isn't much of a market for it, and they will be part of the statistic of "starving artists."
good advice, right there
It is always best to have a back up plan, but if you really want something - You need to fight for it and figure it out. Money doesn't necessarily buy happiness, but neither does starvation. Still, if you're too focused on money, are you really going to be happy? I think not. I know several people who are so focused on MORE MONEY that they're never satisfied with anything.
So, yeah. Fight for your dream, work towards it, but also have a plan B. Just saying even money doesn't matter if you hate your job.
I would love to be a semiprofessional goalkeeper, but slightly more realistically I have always had an interest in becoming a literary agent or a physical security tester/consultant. A job as a FSO would be enjoyable as well.

I'd have to agree. I wanted to be a doctor for several years until I actually began to fully comprehend the workload. Not that my current degree is a breeze (It isn't.), mind you, but it's the best option in terms of both finance and an actual enjoyable career.
interesting.. I have several doctors in the family my self but my grandpa, he sleeps about 4 hours every night, being called out on donors at random times, crazy. they want me to be a surgeon, too but I really don't find it a great thrill to help people that way, I mean, I know someone has to do it, but. . . .
I was in a class at the high school I take some classes at and there was an assignment to research and write about what career we would want to have as stuff like job openings, salary, and dangers for the job. When the assignment PowerPoints were shown in class all but four of the eighteen students wanted to go into medical careers.
O.O Whoa.
were you one of the 4?
Absolutely,yes, I did a PowerPoint for a FSO
enlighten me. what is a 'FSO'?
Sorry it's a foreign service officer also known as a diplomat.
okay, now you're speaking English!
Not if I get a job as a FSO I won't be!
do you speak any other languages besides English as of now?
I'm ok at Spanish since I've taken it since first grade and my family fostered three kids from Columbia, and I am learning Esperanto (yes I know cause I'll use that a lot) I will soon start learning Irish Gaelic as well. Also studdied Bahasa Indonesian for a few months last year.
that sounds good! (I wish my dad would just teach me Spanish. com on. it's his first language. it would cost me nothing, nor him a cent! please, dad?)

That's one way to look at it. But I see it this way: Do what works.
The way it seems to me is that people who need money they don't have are forever thinking about and stressing over it. People who have money they don't need are able to turn their minds AWAY from trying to earn a buck and toward things that matter more to them. For myself, it would be much easier mentally for me to do the things I love when I won't have to worry about where my next meal is coming from.
No one thinks about oxygen at every waking moment, yet it is vital for life. But that that away, be stuck underwater, then the only thought in their mind is their next breath. Money can be looked at in a similar way. At least, for me.

Too bad :-\, the only member of my family who fluently speaks another language lives several hundred miles away.
my aunt speaks Latin fairly fluently, too. (I mean, not like we speak English but enough to get me on the right path and assist me down it)
Now that I think about it I actually took a Latin class in 7th grade but I don't think I learned a thing.:)
yeah.. I feel like that with a lot of my classes. ;)

Corn's example makes more sense to me
Skarzssss example is basically how my family lives our lives already and I'm rather happy so of course I agree.

I study law, I am probably aiming to work in environmental/planning law. :)
My goal in life is to illustrate children's books, or write them, or both. Other than that something to do with zoology, like be a park ranger or a marine biologist.
Currently im a biology major so, a step in that direction.
Video game tester. Lol. I don't want to have a very social life. :laugh:
I always wanted to be a pro gamer and earn money while playing games.
Locksmithing would be fun and it is an option open to me. I would also like to be a writer but at the moment, that's more of a hobby. I could potentially do other kinds of writing like journalism or something. Ideally though, I'll have children and homeschool them so that might be a full time job. I guess I'll leave it up to God for the ultimate decision making and, in the mean time, learn whatever I can.
Either a gunsmith or an interpreter. But I don't want to plan the future much, because anything can happen. Like Shisteer, I'll leave it up to God.
Interpreting would be an interesting job. What languages do you know?
Not very many, I'm afraid. I'm not quite sure I'm "cut-out" to be an interpreter, but I enjoy researching the etymology of words, the roots of many English words, and where they come from. Just from what I've heard, it can be difficult to find a good language teaching program that isn't a brick-and-mortar school.
A writer.
Do you want to branch out from writing Redwall and Rangers Apprentice-inspired books?
I probably will.

I've already started writing an original fantasy book.
What is it about?
SPOILERS!
Oh. :(
I've done a little bit of writing besides Ranger's Apprentice and Redwall too. I ran our homeschool group newspaper for about six months (I was the only one who ever did anything for it so it kind of died) and I've written a couple of original short stories. I also work as my younger sister's scribe when she gets an idea for a story.
Long-term, I would like to be an author and editor. But I would like to work in Hobbiton for a while as well. ^-^

What aspects are you mainly interested in?
When it comes to looking for a job, identifying the type of job you want is the single most important thing you can do. This will make it easier to be effective in your job search while also ensuring that you're focusing on roles that match your interests and your skill set.
Here's what you need to know about landing the job you really want.
1. Identify your career goals
Although it may seem a bit intimidating to outline your five-year plan when you're just starting out, setting career goals is a great way to ensure that you're focusing on the big picture and looking for roles that fit with your long-term plans. The best way to do this is by determining a specific career goal and outlining the steps you'll need to take in order to get there. With this goal in place, you'll be able to create a clear path for yourself and increase your chances of landing your dream job.
Pro Tip: If you want to outline more than one goal that's okay too, but be sure that at least one of your goals is something you can achieve within the next one to two years. Short-term goals are great for maintaining focus in general and when you're just starting out, having achievable goals is even more important.
2. Develop the right skills
Once you've identified your career goals, it's time to take stock of your skills and identify opportunities for learning and improvement. This will help you determine where to focus your energies and also give you a better idea of how to showcase your current skills in an impressive way.
Pro tip: Don't panic if you don't have all the skills you need for a specific job. Instead, look for ways to develop those skills by taking classes or taking on projects. Hiring managers are always impressed by candidates who take a proactive approach to learning and building your skill set in this way will show them that you're a self-starter who is motivated to learn and grow.
3. Have a great resume
Although having a strong skill set is important, those skills aren't enough without a great resume to showcase them. When writing your resume, be sure to focus on your key achievements in each previous role (including internships and part-time jobs) and to use numbers to quantify those achievements.
Pro Tip: Your resume should represent not only your accomplishments, but also the fact that you're a well-rounded person, so don't be afraid to include skills and achievements from extracurricular activities or individual projects.
4. Network effectively
Networking is a key component of professional success and it's especially important if you're just starting out in a particular industry (or when you're looking to change industries). The best way to go about it is by reaching out to people in your alumni and social networks and staying in touch with co-workers and managers from your previous jobs. This is a great way to ensure that you'll hear about new opportunities directly from people in your network and that you'll already be on their radar when they're looking to recruit for that the role that might just be your dream job.
Pro Tip: If you don't have any contacts in your particular industry, don't be afraid to send a cold email to someone you admire asking them to grab a cup of coffee or have a 15-minute phone chat. Chances are, they'll say yes and you'll have the opportunity to connect with someone who can help you understand the ins and outs of the industry.
5. Nail the interview
The final step to landing the perfect job is nailing the interview and this comes down to doing your research and being prepared.
A physical therapist or physical therapist assistant would be cool :)
My sister's husband does that, seems pretty neat, nice choice!
Not sure on it but thanks ^-^ That's cool you know someone who does that!

I always wanted to be an investor so I started investing in crypto. Esp I'm interested in airdrops. They provide an opportunity to receive free tokens or coins. What could be better. I joined Best crypto communities (https://cryptoset.gg/communities) to heck all info about current crypto airdrops. The crypto space is susceptible to scams, and some airdrops may be fraudulent. It's essential to conduct thorough research before participating in any airdrop to ensure the legitimacy of the project.
