"That is hard to say, at one point I..."
That is hard to say, at one point I wanted the easy way out of things and play my odds against being something cool like something to do with video games such as a beta tester. After realizing that aspiring to get a job in video games is about as cliche and as unlikely as being a professional athelete or a famous musician (as exploitive of democracy as these careers are), I thought about something in electronics. My dream job kinda changes a bit because I am a guinea pig to society's interpretation of what is a respectable degree.
Like right now, I would love to be a Computer Technician, and have my own business building custom pc's and doing tech work because I am capitalizing on the fact that the little knowledge I gained by installing programs in Windows for the past 5 years could be put to good use by charging people who are slightly less clueless than me.
But what I am actually on the road to do right now is Forensic Science, which I believe I have a head start in because I avidly watch Forensic Science specials on the Discovery Channel. This is not based on the TV show CSI, I wanted to do this job long before that show ever existed/I watched it (which includes that first time I accidentally tuned into the Discovery Channel instead of Cartoon Network to watch my DBZ episodes). The show that got me interested doesn't exist any more because it most likely was as dull as my life, but it was conveniently called "Forensic Science" because I am a deterministic asshole who lets TV shows decide what I like and what I don't like.
