    Be a nurse. I dunno about AU, but here they're in extremely high demand. Great pay, personal growth, flexible hours, sexy uniform, what's not to like?

    :slight_smile:

    It's like one of those Hosptial drama shows, without the sexy people!

    I am a Software Engineer. Though I write very little code. I mostly do system integration work.

    Well, I'm currently 2 credit hours from my associates in Information technology, but I almost went for a degree in music. So lets hope this works out.

    I checked engineering and IT, but I'm really only interested in It from an engineering point of view. I'm fascinated by electronics - apart from music, it's just about my only hobby :slight_smile:

    Just finished my Comp Sci degree, currently jobhunting. I also did 2.5 years of a maths degree, and if I go on to do postgrad study I'd like to do something which combines both...

    I'll be in health sciences/medicine. I'm a psych major, but I am also in pre-med, so I'm hoping to get into medical school. If I do, I'm looking at emergency medicine and psychiatry ^.^ . If I don't get into med school, I'll be going on to graduate school for clinical psychology.

    Something involving either singing/acting being a producer/director or being a chef/foodcritic. The odd one out is Psychology. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    There's extremely high demand, but the pay is still crap and the hours generally are bad as well, you can sometimes be expected to do 24 hours straight, which isn't only bad for you but dangerous for patients. Nurse uniforms here are really frumpy as well, not sexy. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: And drama shows, depends on the ward. Palliative care ward, extremely depressing place, emergency ward, fast paced, extremely difficult place.

    :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Anyway, I'd either like to become a professional bassoonist or research scientist in physics or chemistry at the moment.

    Haha, no one want to be a lawyer!

    In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. And the gays want nothing to do with either.

    DUN DUN.
