We've all been asked this question in school when we were younger:

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Well how about it? What's your dream job?


I want to be an architect, but also a musician and artist in my spare time (probably as hobbies, but a paid gig wouldn't hurt).

I would like to be a zoologist and maybe a paleoartist in my spare-time.

I wanted to be a Veterinarian in my younger days - but the cost and length of schooling I just found to be too unrealistic. The other career I was interested was being an Air Traffic Controller.

Now I am a certified dog trainer and am very happy with my choice of career. I am just happy to be working with animals and in the future I am looking forward to working with other types of animals.

Well at first I wanted to be a paleontologist, then I wanted to be an astrophysicist, and now I want to be a Virologist ever since the new ebola outbreak began.

I always wanted to either be an archaeologist or zookeeper, but since then I've done a bit of research about those professions, I found out that archaeologists from Belgium often (like, 90%) dig up things in Belgium or research about Belgian history (which I don't want) and that they earn very little money. There's barely any need for zookeepers in Belgium either.

With my current study I have quite a few possibilities.
First is being a teacher (meh, perhaps if I really don't find a job in any of the other possibilities)
Then I could go for interpreter or translator, but that's meh as well. While I think that I could do an additional Professional Translator/Interpreter master course if I don't feel like I'm done studying after my Corporative Communication master.
Ph.D is a possibility too, but since I don't intend on teaching in a university, I don't really consider this a viable option.
Then the final option is corporative communication, which is something I'm interested in doing. It usually involves lots of travelling and since I'll speak two of the most spoken languages on Earth, it should be fairly easy to find a job too. It's not purely languages, but you need to have basic knowledge about marketing and economy (which I'll get in my master), which is something I'm interested in as well.

If anyone's interested, I'm currently studying Applied Linguistics Dutch-Spanish-English (and as of next year, Portuguese)

I'm going with palaeontology - it's currently my dream job and has always been xD I hope I can do a biology license, and, as there are virtually no palaeontology universities in France, I hope I'll get to try the United States or Germany.

I remember a guy in Luxemburg who made his entire life with children allocations.
People called him the beaver.

I was joking with the retirement thing (altho that would be nice ;) )

I'd like to go into a career in art and/or writing

^If you want to be a fighter pilot, then that's true. But almost all other pilots (commercial flights, commercial helicopter flights, military transport and maybe even military helicopter) don't need to have perfect eyesight.

I would go with aquariology. For the first thing there's not many good aquariological institutes in India, but there's a one here, and I will start off in that, and after graduating, I would like to go to Zoo (Most probably Antwerp zoo) and begin off with my Career.

And I also want to be a veterinarian as their is a crisis, and therefore high payment for them in India. :D
