What do you want to be when you "grow up?"

I've been doing a lot of re-evaluating lately of my career goals and what my next steps are. What are everyone else's aspirations?

I am realizing that although I know many of you and even what you studied/are studying at school, I don't know where you'd like to go.

So...spill.

seven more years to go, then I teach.

I'm going to university of waterloo, just finished second year in applied health studies. It's broad enough that I can go into multiple fields when I complete my four years, yet I can really narrow down and focus on certain fields in particular if I want to as well.

Currently I want to finish my four years and apply overseas at medical schools and come back and practise as a specialist. Don't really want to be a GP, want to specialize in something more.

If this doesnt work out for me, there are numerous other options in the Health field that I can look into.

But that's years from now...who knows what will happen really, right?

just finished my 2nd year at ryerson for architectural science. in 3rd and 4th year im going to be specializing in architectural design. so yes, i want to become an architect.

after graduation i'm leaning in the direction of taking the 2 year masters program at ryerson. then after many other provincial tests and exams, i'll be licensed. so if anyone needs a house/condo building/club, im ur man.

I want to get married and have babies.









I went to university whilst working so I have been at my career for 10 years now, the past 5 years have seen me earning a fairly substantial amount of dosh. I bought my first house at 20 and moved here on my own at 25.

Now I aspire to be a housewife.

So shoot me.

Nice! Sounds a little like my own situation, minus the house part (though if all goes according to plan I will most likely have one by the end of the year!)

At the moment I am focusing on my new job and hope to climb the ladder a bit eventually, but ultimately I plan to one day be running my own biz. It won't happen overnight, but it's my goal for sure!

p.s. - nothing wrong with wanting to stay home and have babies

Shit I can do anything with my nursing degree. I'd like to dabble in all areas for a bit. Palliative care really interests me atm. I wouldn't mind doing med-surg, and I definitely want to do ER, and maybe the psych ward too.

I'd like to be a nursing instructor and mentor one day too. So many of my own have inspired me to do the same.


Who knows, maybe I'll open my own practice someday.

I am in my 4th year of Interior Design, and I have a 6 month internship coming up which will be in either NYC or Toronto. I am specializing in restaurant and nightclub design. I plan on moving to another country that greatly differs in culture to work as a designer at some point...

If health care in Canada ever becomes privatized I would like to pursue healthcare design.

What is healthcare design?

On topic:

Right now I'm finishing up my comp sci degree, while working on an internship. I've realized comp sci is what I do best, and I more or less like it, so this is my career of choice for now. I have a broad spectrum of jobs that I can do with that degree, but ideally I would like to get into software engineering with a graphics aspect, as I really enjoyed that in a course I took.

At the same time, I can see myself doing many other things for my career - automotive engineering, psychology, teaching, or even entrepreneur. There are so many things that I'd want to do that sometimes I find myself doubting whether or not comp sci is really the right choice because my heart is pulled in so many different directions. But, I'm sticking with comp sci for now, and if later down the line I decide I don't like it anymore, I'll just switch to something else that I wanted to do.

It is the interior design and architecture of healthcare facilities. There is going to be a massive demand for facilities because of the aging baby boomers in Canada. Currently there arent very many nice hospitals here, and many baby boomers would be willing to pay for such a service I am sure.

Here is an example of a dental clinic in Berlin that I love.....

You would be the perfect person to ask about this. The current healthcare facilities in Canada have a long way to come even when it comes to functionality, do you agree? We went on a tour recently of a hospital where the grab bars in the washrooms were not usable, and the showers were not wheelchair accessible. Horrible !

The older places for sure! The facility where I did my clinical placement had both old and new wings. The new wings were fantastic, but the old wings weren't built for all the new equipment we use now, like recliner wheelchairs and lifts and such.

I went to school for Environmental Studies and Geography. I wanted to do research and other boring crap but ended up becoming an insurance adjuster and have been at it for over 10 years now. I still want to specialize in environmental insurance claims....but that means even more schooling.....but also means bigger bucks.


Posted by DannyPINK on May-15-2007 22:31:

I just graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design (I.E. Urban Planning) with a Minor in Architecture.

During my schooling I also learned a great deal of graphic design.

So... I'm currently looking at firms in Toronto in Planning, Branding, and Design. Whatever I get into I want to work my way UP!

My plan is to be one of those $200/hr IT/software consultants. If that fails, maybe IP Law.

A daddy eventually. Thats the one thing I can say I want to be with 100% certainty.
