What will you do when you grow up?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

I don't see how that would surprise me :? So what is it exactly, just a name for the design route, or it it more broad than that? Plus, what degree would you get in the end? Bachelor of TechOne? :lol:

That would do the trick. I've decided what course I'm taking at university, it covers various elements of graphics design and other things in the general infotech field. It's called TechOne, I bet you're surprised at that name. Requirements aren't too high compared to my marks either. I just got to maintain the 5-8% window I have on them right now.

For any of my Vancouver homies it's at SFU.


Damn. I really wanna maximize my talent and study abroad but I don't see that happening. We got the same dreams. :wink: (Y)

Point was that it doesn't surprise anyone. It was a poor attempt at a joke, that now has no value since I've had to explain it.

But like I said, it covers all kinds of stuff in the info tech field. And in the first year there are certain courses you have to take, and other electives. As you go on, you can figure out what parts you like and focus on them more. You can end up with any of a number of degrees. At least that's what I gather so far.

They even have a little table on their website. :o

And that's Simon Fraser University.

Writer/Journalist (maybe even freelance writing)
Preferably something in the music industry.

If I back away from that 'dream', then probably something to do in IT...as I've been acing IT classes for the past 4 years.

But damn I should already know what I'm planning to do...final year of high school next year. :|

No your dreams will generally be crushed learning that either
1.) You do not have the money.
2.) You do not have the connections.
3.) You do not have the talent.
(With talent being least important and money being the most important)

to do whatever it is that you wanted to do. Let's say you did do whatever you wanted to do, still you'll probably regret it after a while. You'll realize that they were just dreams and that dreams cannot last any longer in this cruel world. Everyone just ends up dragging on just trying to pay their most recent bills and living day by day trying to sustain themselves, eventually learning that life sucks and complain about what could have been.

You might be able to accomplish maybe not all, but part of your dreams, as long as you're a determined hard worker. (Almost) anything's possible if you put your mind to it with dedication.
