What do you want to do for a career? Why? Will you achieve it?

I want to be an engineer
I already achieved it

Now what?

>>34167217
I want to become a black pornstar.
So I can laugh about all these robot cucks and fuck beautiful women ever day with my big black cock.
I won't achieve it since I'm white with a 6' dick.

>>34167217
wanted to be a historian
family pressured me into medschool

I'm about to fail everything though. My chances of dropping out and returning to the simple life of a NEET are high.

I've always wanted to invent something. Currently working on engineering because reality sucks

>>34167217
Want to be joiner. Mostly because i really like wood and work with it. But also because having my own little workroom would provide me solitude at work and I wouldn't be forced to interact with people. Don't care about money really but they aren't worse if you are good. Am I gonna achieve it? Probably no. I am way to depressed and anxious to attend to 2 year course to actually get the certification I need.

Are you in the United States? How the fuck did you study for med school if you don't like it?

>>34167217
I want to be a musician. I probably could achieve it if I had the motivation and wasn't afraid of being judged.

>>34167307
Lol why do you lie on the internet

Do shit with computers and make $80k a year doing basic tasks for boomers

I want to write software. However, I don't want to be only actually writing it forever. I hope that in my mid 20s before I have kids or anything, I will be able to create a successful startup. If that fails I'll just work at a hedge fund

I think I will make it to the job itself as I have an internship and only one more year until I graduate. As for the startup, it depends on a lot of factors. I'm not super confident about it

Want to be a translator, because it's just about knowing languages and once you do it's easy

I won't achieve it because I'm a lazy piece of ass

>>34167454
nah I'm in central europe where you get to go to medschool right after highschool for a six year degree. I had to take an entry exam though.
I only studied for the it because I had a bad conscience for being NEET and I also wanted to prove that I'm a failure no matter how hard I try.

I'm still convinced that it was a crime to let me in. I saw the first real life vagina of my life on the corpse of some cachectic 80 year old woman. I was responsible for cutting it up so that we could study the pelvic bone

>>34167217

investment banker

>Long working hours
>extremely unsocial work environment
>well paid

>>34167217
Screenwriter, because I feel that it plays up my strengths.

I hate California and all who inhabit it, so no.

>>34167217
I'd like to work as a conservationist or a ranger at a national park, any work in the environmental sector of my countries government would be nice.
I'm working on my degree in Environmental studies, I've got work experience lined up at Galloway forest park on a rewilding project.
So yeah, I think I'm gonna make it, I don't need friends, I'll become part of the new male demographic that die virgins, but I'll do so with a long and happy career in forest and field related shit behind me.

Psychologist. It'd be cool to ANALyze people all the time.

>>34167217
I want to be involved with the narrative in video games. I don't care if it's lore or dialogue or whatever, I just know that my current path of trying to be an English teacher doesn't appeal to me anymore.

To be honest, I don't know if I'm gonna make it. But I gotta give it an honest effort, right?

>>34167800
Man thats the coziest lifestyle I've read on here, I really hope you can make it man, I'd envy the shit out of you.

>>34167217
I want to become a world-class composer and conductor.

I am well on my way. .

Musician/Producer/Artist/General creative auteur
No

>>34167354
I wanted to be a Historian too but I didn't want to go to Uni and had no idea how to actually be a Historian so I gave up.

Now I just lurk /his/ and cry that I'll never even be smart enough to shitpost about history.

>>34167785
As long as you're happy, who cares if you die a virgin? That's an admirable path, and I hope you end up where you want to be.

>>34167831
Thanks man, I appreciate that. I hope I do too, I just know it's an uphill fight trying to get in, y'know? I've only ever done personal story writing and some dialogue for a small project with my friends. I'm kinda hoping I'm not written off because of lack of experience.

>>34167217
>work related to field I'm interested in requires being social and good with people in general

It didn't have to end like this

>>34167851
That's incredible! Keep it up!

>>34167217
Currently in year 1 of med school. Already feeling like I'm gonna fail

>>34167923
Hold strong, anon. You had to be pretty damn smart to get into med school, so I know you can succeed!

>>34167948
I have an inferiority complex. I can't stop judging myself by looking at everyone around me and realising they're much more adapted to everything than i am. 2 months before i started studying for med school I was a complete fucking waste to society and now that i've settled in the routine of this life i'm becoming retarded again.
1 reason is because i live in a shitty dorm
the other reason is because i fucking hate my roommates

>>34167851
Delusional. If you're posting here I can tell you're not even close

Something related to astronomy. It's the only thing that catches my attention so if I fail this I am screwed, more than I currently am.

>>34167217
I want to be a startup founder and builder of tools and services people use daily and need.

I have been working on this for the passed year and finally getting results. I tell you it is amazing to see your name on clothes people wear that are apart of your company that you made. It feels great conducting business and it feels great being positive and working with people to build connections.

I will succeed cause I am telling myself to.

want to be many things including web dev, botanist, biologist, translator

won't achieve any of it and just applied for some near minimum wage jobs

Defense attorney. Get paid well, and get to become a master of deception and words.

>>34168027
If it's any consolation, I'm the same way. People getting higher grades, doing something with their lives that isn't playing an MMO, going out and traveling, getting awards...it's very easy to get caught up in seeing what everyone else is doing and how they're behaving, and expecting the same for yourself. But you have to remember that you're an individual, and you should be proud of yourself based on your own merits. You got into med school, my man! Shitty roommates and a shitty dorm can't take that away from you. That's something to be proud of, not everyone's smart enough or has enough drive to pull themselves together and get into med school. Focus on working hard for yourself. Work hard, make yourself happy and remember that you're an individual. Not that "special snowflake" shit, but in the sense that comparing yourself to someone else is like comparing apples and televisions.

Not that I really WANT to do it but I'm probably going to try and be a fully qualified bookkeeper or accountant. I'm a bookkeeping assistant at the moment since my mother's a bookkeeper and gave me a job as her assistant since I was a NEET and gave up looking for work.

It's dull, frustrating work but it's better than nothing I guess.

>>34167217
Astronaut. No, I'm 24 with no degree (although in college) and with a 6 year gap in my resume and I'm not American or Russian. A part of me is still holding up to the hope of private companies to start recruiting when I have my shit together in a couple decades and have hopefully done something noteworthy but I know it's pretty implausible.

Aside from that I'd like to start a company one day and become filthy rich but only to help people instead of hoarding it. Yes, I know that's not a sound business policy but it's my imaginary money and I'll do what I want with it.

>>34167217
went to uni and just about to finish my history degree (meme degree yes i know) and hoping to go into teaching

i really want a comfy admin office job for a uni history department, with books everywhere and a desk and a cosy fire like in the movies

>will never happen

>>34167217
>Be a cynical asshole.
>Make a career out of it.
>Success!

>>34167217
Win the lottery and be a neet with financial security

Work from home and be ultimately/comfy/, financially secure and I wouldn't have to talk to another wage slave again.

Work in an office

I am a simple man

I want to start a retail website with a small wholesale section based in Japan, along the lines of J-List/J-Box but with a better, less shitty website.

>Why?
I dont have the skills to be accepted for living there so the only other option is to have a business based there at least half the year.

>Will you achieve it?
Once I find the right team. Gonna learn the language and give up my current job to work towards it this year. Currently looking into assembling a team and pricing up a small warehouse. Even if it only breaks even it's an opportunity to do what I want.

>>34167217
I want to be a clinical psychologist or mental health counselor, depending on how much I can tolerate hardcore academic research. If yes, the former, if no, the latter.

>Will you achieve it?
I better. I sacrificed the chance to have an actually meaning undergraduate career to major in psychology so the risk of choosing such a unemployable Bachelor's better pay off.

>what I want
High-tier finance (IB, quant, actuary) because I am interested in the field and they pay 100k starting.
>will I get it
If I get into a target uni, then probably.

What's a career that doesn't involve dealing with other people? I just want to be left alone and be able to afford to live alone. I have no other criteria in my life.

>>34167217

I want to be either a writer or a professor.

A writer because it allows me to work as I want and where I like. I've always wanted to live somewhere that's a bit secluded and serene, writing would let me do that.

A professor just so I could spend my life researching things I'm interested in and maybe even pass some knowledge onto the next generation.

>>34167217

I just want to grow plants and own my own tree and flower nursery, but I will never have enough capital to even start nor will I ever be able to afford enough land to do it right.

>>34169150

Online business, programming, translating, late night jobs like shelf stacking, security, etc.

>>34169257
You can start a business on a surprisingly small amount of money. Also the government usually have loans and grants available for start-ups, all you need is a business plan and knowledge of what you want to do. If you have relevant experience or qualifications it helps, but it's not needed. You could rent the land, it's not too expensive to rent compared to trying to buy somewhere.

I don't know. Nothing. I have no dreams or aspirations. Anything that takes little effort and time but still pays enough to survive on would be fine, I suppose.

>>34167855
Well that is a very broad thing to say. I have my MA in history (though I am a teacher now).

I did my MA in public history so I worked a lot in museums and archives. Once in grad school (especially at a PHD level), you can a good gauge on what you want to do in relation to the feild of history.

>>34167528
I do this, but I only make 28k.

>>34167217
I want to become a physical chemist. Looking pretty good so far; I just joined a physical chemistry lab.

I'd like to play music, too, but not professionally.

i want to be a web developer, but i'm very lazy. i'm scared that later i will have no job and starve to seath/suicide

>>34171040
death*, i'm sorry

honestly, corrupting the youth on 4chan is the greatest high

>tfw set on making my own animated feature length film
>controversial subject matter
>thinking about releasing it to the public and having people criticize it and me makes me wish for the sweet release of death

And I'm not even past the writing process. Fuck.

I'll go insane.

I wanna write encouraging stories to cheer people up and give them hope.
If I doubt my ability to achieve it then I'd have no place writing such stories.

I don't even know what my dream job/career is.
I'm thinking about becoming an electrician though. It pays well and doesn't seem too bad so why not? I can always quit and find something else if I don't like it.

>>34167217

I want to be a filmmaker. I want to write and direct movies.

I'm almost 30 and I've seen only failures until now. I'm having doubt in myself. I have nobody around me to share my passion and I'm losing hope. I'm thinking I'll be one of those numerous people who never got to achieve their dreams. The difference most of them (as far as I've see until now) abandoned their dreams in their early 20s or never seriously pursued them at all, so there's that.

>>34171040
Well if you don't try to do it will you be better off?

>>34171376
what's so controversial that you're scared to do it?

>>34171938
I'm 31 and about to quit my job to pursue my dream, so you should just go for it. 30s isn't even that old anymore, don't let age stop you.

Have any of you ever felt like you haven't seen enough of the world yet to come to such abrupt career decisions?

This is how I've always felt since graduating high school. I'm 20 now, and I've been stuck like this for 4 years. I'm going to be 21 in a month.

What do you suggest I do to get out of feeling like this?

>>34172699
Travel if you feel like you haven't seen the world. Go to some far off city on your own, that's what I did.

You can try a bunch of careers out, but it's better to pick one that'll make money and go for it, otherwise you'll regret it later. You can see all you want of the world as long as you know you can alk into a job anywhere because you have the skills for it.

I wan't to be a euphonium player/composer, fairly soon I will join a military band7, and I think I will acheive it.

>>34167851
Nice, if you want feed back on something you're working on just ask me, also write stuff for the euphonium.

I've recently looked into accounting. I already have an English degree but I chose it more out of "what do I do with myself" more than anything. Now, I'm thinking of becoming certified. And, you don't have to neccessarily be good at math.

As of now, the positives of becoming an accountant, from the little I've read is that:

1. The work is repetitive and routine
2. You are independent most of the time, if not all of the time.
3. Job stability is...stable.
4. Usually pays well.

These are things that draw me into accounting. I gave up the idea of combining "joy" and work. I find simple pleasures in doing routine work, and listening to music, drinking coffee anyway, and I've been working in data entry for 3 years now. I'm used to routine.
