    22. my job at the minute is great (Armed forces) I get to see a lot of the world. in the six years I have served I think I have touched pretty much every country (stand fast Iran/Iraq for obvious reasons. Bit hard to reach on a ship) from the age of thirteen to sixteen before I joined, I was really into my boxing. I wasn't the best but I'd like to think if I had the time to carry on I would gotten somewhere in the professional ranks. (discounted the training which I joined) failing that I think i would of liked to do something in law. Now however I think I'd settle for anything that lets me go home on a night to see my eight month old son more.

    47 and enjoying the experience of writing this current novel. I've written some short-form stuff I was really happy with, but this is the first long-form piece that has really come together for me.

    I'd love to do this for a living. If I could stay with my current main character and watch him grow into a series, I would be one seriously happy camper.

    17 and anything that lets me get my poetry/lyrics out there. Me and my friend work together and write songs. He's the music, I'm the lyrics. So far it's going really good. Don't have a 'beautiful' singing voice, but neither did any of my heroes (Jim Morrison and so on) so we could be heading in the right direction. Ideally I'd be in a band.

    20. Random paper-pusher in the bureaucracy.


    No, really, something simple and repetitive and boring. I like that.


    That way, I can focus more on my writing. ;)

    22, and I think just a writer would be enough for me, if I could end up on a level like Stephen King though. Otherwise, I've been with Disney for 3 years and I am perfectly happy to continue climbing the ladder there and learning all I can to progress.

    21. I love the book I'm currently writing and would love to become a popular young adult novelist like Kevin Brooks or Suzanne Collins. It would be my dream to see my story turned into a movie someday. But not totally botched like Twilight :p

    I'm 16 right now. About to turn 17. My goal is to become an animator for Disney Animation Studios, and before anyone tells me how impossible it is and that it's not the best place to work blah blah blah, I've done my research. I know what I want to do. I'm already trying to plan an art school to go to.

    I'm 12 and I'm good at everything that has to do with arts.... I just kind of suck at dancing but I know some footwork that doesn't let me be a total loser! My ideal job would be as a musician or actress..... Well I kind of steal things from my friends, and I'm reaaaaallyyyyy athletic and sneaky, so I think I would also be a good thief..... My best friend told me that....

    I'm 19 years old and would love to become a journalist/photographer studying wild Tigers and their habitat, I have a huge respect/love for Tigers and my upcoming story is about a species of Tiger that went extinct due to poaching/deforestation. I also of course would like to publish a book, and be an author some day, but my biggest dream would be to become a Zookeeper so I could care for dozens of animal species and constantly do research to help keep them safe and healthy in captivity and in the wild. :)
