I'm in school for economics but holy crap, I can't have a traditional job. It just can't work for me.

My current band is getting some A&R interest, so I hope that pans out. I just want to be big for a few years, and make a few million (haha who doesn't?) then spend the rest of my life day trading stocks. If money ever gets low, we'll do a reunion tour!

What are your current dreams, no matter how over the top/unrealistic?

I enjoy my job and it pays pretty well, so I guess my dream would be to be able to continue to work in this field until I retire. Sorry, I guess that's not really exciting but it's a great feeling to get up in the morning and not think there is something better out there for me.

Play bass for a living.

Granted, a sustainable living. No rock star stuff for me. But if all I had to do every day was play my bass, drink beer, eat bacon, and suckle boobs, and still be able to go home to my home in the end, I would be happy.

I also want a family. Lot's of kids.

I want to finish school with my degree in Accounting+Information Systems and either get a job doing accounting with a nonprofit, a job at the GAO or going to school for my masters then getting a job in the previously-stated two.

If you're getting into nonprofit for the warm fuzzies, do A LOT of research on the organizations you'd like to work for. I worked for one (not in accounting) and it was disheartening to say the least. I haven't brushed up on my federal laws, but it's possible a few of them were broken while I worked there.

Thanks for the advice, will certainly do more research than I would have now that I have that in mind.

:D

Playing bass for broadway shows.

At this point, I'm doing a nice early version. I'm working a part time job [3 days a week] while going to school and playing shows. Right now, I'm playing 4 shows a week until this one ends [Nov 2nd] and then I start a 3 show a week gig from November 18th {I think} until the Feb 2nd. I'm in talks to do a 12 show run in either April/May or March/April. As long as things go how I want them to-I'll be playing theater shows year round with less than 3 weeks between productions.

Essentially, I want to just move up the ladder to shows that run longer and pay more. If i have to work some sort of part time job to make ends meet-I'm up for it. I've got a lot of work to do in the shed and on the networking side, but it will be worth it.

Edit: BetterBottomEnd: Ting-a-ling? I've just started to read more of Vonnegut's work. I think i've read 3-4 of his books.

At the moment, to get through life without having to go by the rules of society....cash-only, no loans, so even though I have no credit I don't need. No 9-5 cookie-cutter jobs...I want something dynamic, that challenges my creativity, which is my strongest asset. (it's literally how I made it through high school)

I think right now I want a job doing custom work; I don't care if it's basses, cars, furniture, or even food...it's what I'm good at.

To be honest, in this economy, I'd be happy with just about any job I have to wear a tie to work. I'm graduating with a degree in business management with a concentration in management and a minor in accounting. I'm well rounded, and hope a company is looking for that.

Other than that, I'd be happy graduating on time.

I'm hoping to complete my EE and get into a job working for an amplifier or effects manufacturer, and ideally will have built a side business designing that stuff on my own.

Also my fiance has a possible job opp for a high-paying gig in Amsterdam... I am seriously hoping that comes through! I'm not sure yet how living there would hinder my continued schooling, but I'm almost positive it would be worth the trouble. :D

Call me a nerd, but after not doing as great as I expected in freshman year in high school, I want to try and get a 3.8-4.0 GPA average the rest of high school. Additionally, I'm trying to do more community work right now; more of a goal though.

If I do well in high school, I want to study political science, intern for a senator, do community work, graduate, and think of other stuff from there.

I'm dreaming big right now, but it's really the only job I'd like to have because I like to learn about politics. Other than that; Dreaming about a new rig. :hmm:

Well, if you ever build a FX25 clone with a good blend and a built in limiter, I'll be your first customer.

Right now my dream is to have a pastrami sandwich.

And I think I can make that happen.

Mine is pretty simple. I just want to get some cash together, go to trade school, become an electrician, get my licence, save some money, get myself a house out in the country, and in my spare time learn how to play bass better, learn to play guitar and make my own records which I'll release independently through a website... play the odd show here and there...

I'm a simple man with simple tastes.
