   What are you doing?
  In life right now, you are either doing something, or preparing to do something, or thinking about preparing to do something, or not doing anything at all.What are your career plans in life right now?  Whats up?  Do you have a stable job, go to elementary school like some of our valued members, tech school?  What do you plan on doing?  Where are you going after your current job/school?I ask because I wish I knew what I am doing next year. 
  I was writing my report for English, but my jackass brother came upstairs and began an argument with me. Apparently I'm a homosexual because I'd rather spend my time doing something productive rather than spending 3 hours a day on the phone with a girl that I'll break up with in a month.Ah well, now that he's gone I'm back to writing my report and taking breaks every now and then to view the boards.  I'm off of school on summer break right now. When I go back I'll be a junior. I'm hoping to go to Virginia Tech after I'm done with high school, but I hear it's hard to get in. My grades are good enough (4.0), but I'm going to need to do well on the SAT test. I took the PSAT last year and got somewhere between a 1010-1100, so if I study a bit I can get it up to where I need it.

Since I don't really have a goal in life besides being all that I can be, I choose to get degrees until I'm a University Professor.  A Dr. of something.

I recommend you do it. I make pizza for a living.Not that I'm complaining. It pays all the bills and allows me plenty of time to work on my own projects as well as take the occasionally continuing education course. I couldn't stand the classroom anymore. They are filled with uninspired idiots who would rather work on nailing the cute girl in class rather than make a future for themselves. So I dropped out of college and am studying on my own. My province is pretty good at helping out adults expand thier education.And at the moment I'm browsing the forums while I wait for the paint on a miniature I'm painting to dry. Most people would use a hairdryer, but I don't want to risk cracking the paint. After that I will go mix up a new batch of magic-wash. A 3/1 mix of water and future floor finish makes a perfect paint extender and costs nowhere near as much as the extenders sold in art shops. I can make several gallons of extender for the same price of 350ml bottle of the artsy stuff.And this  is the figure I am painting. Though I am no where near as skilled as the guy that painted this one. He makes me want to cry with his blending mastery.

I hope to get a CS degree afterwards, if money and time persist.  If not?  I''ll have to settle with database programming with game dev hobby. ;  It's 2:27 AM here, and I find myself at a creative peak, so I'm working on the support services section of a design document that I've neglected for several days.Oh in life?Well, I'm in school. And thats about it really. I take technical exams every few months. I'm currently studying for my MCSE certification.   [edited by - raymondo on August 16, 2003 4:40:39 AM];  After getting my A-Level results two days ago (I got ADD), I got a leter this morning saying I''ve been accepted to study computer science at Kent (they wanted a BBB). So I might go study computer science there. ;  I have a Computer Science BS degree and am currently in a custom business app development position.A few years back I wanted to get into game programming, but my life had just enough of a balance of work, hobby, friendship and dreams to stay in balance.  That got thrown out of whack, and now I''m trying to figure out what I really want to do.  I''m not so convinced game programming is what I want.It''s easy to think you want to do something because it feels good from where you are.  But when it comes down to going out there and really doing it, how the world and the people in your life actually respond to it does matter.  Find out what you can about what you want to do before you take the actual dive. ;  I'm starting my second year(I think)of college in a week.  Currently I'm studying Software Engineering, but I'm thinking about changing majors and probably schools.  I figure I can learn any programming on my own, since I taught myself C++ a couple years before I even started in college, so maybe I'll switch to a math or physics major or something.  Or maybe I'll do a double major.  And then every once in a while I think about changing to a music major.  The main reason I'mm thinking about transferring to a new school is because I'm sick of living in the desert.  I intend to earn a BS degree at least, and hopefully move on to a Master's later.As for work,  right now I deliver pizza.  It's not a great job, but it pays the bills, and the hours are easy to work around school.  I'd like to be a professional game programmer, but I haven't decided what type of job I want as far as being in a large company, or a smaller dev team, or indie.  I also haven't decided whether to do graphics, AI, physics, or something else.  Arg, so many choices.

The nasty thing is that I''ll have to invest about 100 USD/month for the servers, and also some money for advertising, so it would really suck if I won''t get money out of it.Starting today, I have a part time job as a cook (I guess) in a pitza restaurant, I hope it will go out OK. That should give some money for the bills.   Height Map Editor | Eternal Lands | Fast User Directory
