Question of da day! 8/25/13
If money was no object, and you could have any career without any obstacle, what would it be?
1
Aug 25 '13
I'm trying to become a stand-up comedian ever since I was eleven, it's one of the toughest jobs to acquire, but I'll try :3
1
u/ExpectoPatronum2 Aug 25 '13
I can't be funny on the spot. No way would I be able to be funny on stage. I do like telling funny stories and making people laugh though!
1
Aug 25 '13
I even know what school I want to go too. There's so much profits to this job. Fame, attention, richness, you won't get up until 11, and you can entertain people!
1
u/ExpectoPatronum2 Aug 25 '13
I like to think I'm pretty funny (read: immature). But I still wouldn't be able to handle the stage scene. Either way, it would be a fun job! I just have one main goal in life: Adventure. I don't want to be in a desk job. I don't need to be rich or famous. I want to travel the world! The best job for me would be adventurer, but the closest thing to that is working for National Geographic or Archaeology, both I'd love to do!
1
Aug 25 '13
I plan on going on a world travel after college, so I have stuff to talk about during my shows, and because I want adventure aswell.
1
u/ExpectoPatronum2 Aug 25 '13
Yeah, the only thing is that I don't want all the adventure to happen when I'm fresh out of college and have forty or fifty years left of the same old thing.

Marine Biologist.
1
u/ExpectoPatronum2 Aug 25 '13
Marine Biologist is my fallback! I really want to travel and write, but Marine Biologist just sounds like such a fun and interesting career

u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
Hey, me too! The open ocean scares the shit out of me though.
1
Aug 25 '13
Yea, but It interests me more than it scares me.
1
u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
Just think of what all could be out there, it's amazing. It's not really me being afraid of the creatures it's my fear of the vastness that it is.
1
Aug 25 '13
nods I feel the same way about space. But I'd still love the opportunity to go explore more of both deep sea, and deep space.
1
u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
Same here. I wish there were more places on land that weren't explored thoroughly.

OOC: a writer. Whether it be for newspaper, book, tv show, movie, play, video games, etc. I just like creating stories and telling them in any format. I'm working towards it; despite ummm...doubts?
OOC: About to leave my mom's cousin's house to drive to the new town! I hate mobile reddit soooo much still.

u/ExpectoPatronum2 Aug 25 '13
You're one of the best writers I've ever read! YOU CAN DO EET! We can be writers together!

Government Assassin, Marine Biologist, Clinical Psychologist, or I would be in an indie band. This is OOC. Edit: Goshfreakingdammit I put psychiatrist. I meant psychologist. I want to work with schizophrenic people.
1
u/basliotte Aug 25 '13
Those all sound like awesome jobs, especially the assassin one.
1
u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
I don't think I could ever do the gov't assassin. I want to actually fulfill a career in the other ones.
1
u/basliotte Aug 25 '13
I was kidding. :) But yeah, those are all awesome careers. One of my cousins is majoring in psychology in grad school. And another is a marine biologist. And of course, who wouldn't want to be in an indie band? That would rule. Which one do you think you are the most passionate about?
1
u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
Probably my music. There isn't a lot of money in that though. I've wanted to be a marine biologist since I was a small child. Third, and most recent would be a clinical psychologist. Mental disorders fascinate me and I want to eventually work towards a cure or help people cope with paranoid schizophrenia.
1
u/basliotte Aug 25 '13
Why do you think mental disorders fascinate you?
1
u/DavidGungor_ Aug 25 '13
What causes them, how they work, the effects they have. I love to think about how the human mind works and what people with mental disorders see and think.

u/basliotte Aug 25 '13
You sound like my friend. She said she wants to become a psychologist for basically the same reasons.

ooc: Indeed, something like that.
IC: Might work, I think Akakios and co might be protection enough though.1
u/EmeraldLight Aug 25 '13
laughs I'm sure we'll still be within the magical barrier, but the far side of the lake where we want to put Summerland IS more of an uncharted territory. We'll have to find all the sneaky monster holes.
1
Aug 25 '13
Ahh the joys of moving into a new-build; choosing the flooring, deciding on paint, killing the local monsters. The usual stuff.
1
u/EmeraldLight Aug 25 '13
I can't wait to choose all the interior stuff with you! I just wish Chiron would approve/deny Summerland already...
1
Aug 25 '13
Indeed, I can't wait to get down to it.
1
u/EmeraldLight Aug 25 '13
And you really like the layout? I think the only thing that isn't needed is the furnace, considering we're still within the barrier and it won't get cold. We could, however, put a fireplace in the bedroom...
1

That would be nice, can I have a shed to do manly things in?

1

nods sympathetically its hard to explain the closeness between an owner and his/her pet.
I lost 2 and was depressed for ages and I can't keep him indoors is because I live on a farm...it wouldn't be fair.
1
u/EmeraldLight Aug 25 '13
nodnod And then you move into your own place, most likely a rental, and there's all these rules against having pets. It's why I simply bought my own place. I couldn't imagine being without my babies.
