    So I've been thinking a lot recently about my future and I think that I want to be a Spanish teacher after I go and teach English in South Korea and Japan. So my question is, what do you guys want to be in the future once you're done with college?

    I have been thinking about that a lot recently as well, because I will have to make a decision about which subjects I will do in school and these will impact my career choice in a few years.

    I've been thinking about it for weeks and honestly I have no idea. I have a strong interest in languages so I'd love to do something in that field, but I also love science and I think working in a lab and doing research could be more enjoyable to me. But I haven't decided on the specifics yet, these are just ideas.

    I too want to teach English in South Korea! But, I definitely know I want to pursue a career in neurology in the future. Exactly what, I don't know. However, I do know, that whether it be academic neurology, behavioral, movement disorders, etc., I will probably really enjoy my career.

    The plan so far is to keep working with children with special/complex needs and go down that route...it's pretty vague but it works.

    I want to study science or biomedicine with languages in university for undergrad studies. I'm still working out what I want to do with my life.

    I have no idea. Honestly I'd love to just be a nomad and teach English traveling the world. But I'm not sure how realistic that is.

    Well, I still haven't decided what I want to do for sure just yet. I've thought about a number of career paths over the years, but right now I'm leaning toward becoming a counselor. It would be nice to help people going through tough times, because I can relate and hate that so many people feel like they have to go it alone.

    I'm majoring in Education right now, but I'm still struggling between which I want to do more: elementary or secondary. Both have about an equal share of pros and cons for me, so it's torture trying to decide. I need to know what I'm doing once April rolls around, as I begin to apply for next semester's courses.

    wow, sure are a lot of aspiring educators. Well, that's good, a country's foundation begins with its youth.

    As for me, I hope to be able to publish my books electronically while im in college. Once I'm out, I wana do counseling.

    I'm thinking about studying medicine, but I'm not sure if I want to specialize on immunology or psychiatry.
    I also like history and political sciences.

    I'll have to make this decision in a few months unfortunately.
    I'm between biology and psychology but I fear that the maths and physics contents in biology would simply be too much for me, but my dream job would be to do biological research.

    Well, I've been accepted onto the Journalism degree I wanted to get on, but I still have literally no idea on what I actually want to do. Or whether I actually want to do that degree. Basically, I have no idea about anything involving my future. Yay.

    I want to do something related with Investigative Journalism and Political Science, and maybe pursue some type of career in politics.

    I would like to be an elementary music teacher, and perhaps start performing electro-acustic music and maybe start some kind of band.

    I'm way done with college. Have two masters degrees and am doing what I want to and love it. Took a while to realize it though.

    I want to work in the music industry, not promoting music but creating music. I was thinking I could start writing small tunes for short films and move on to those transition songs you hear on TV shows and then become a film composer which of course would take about a decade worth of experience.
