current mood: ambitious
My dream job is to not have to work :-p
While this proves to not feasible (ish), I have come up with a better solution. I want to be an archaeologist. Why? Because about 10 years ago, when I was a wee lass, I saw for the first time, Indiana Jones. I was hooked ever since. And even though I know it won't be like that at all, I still pursue that career field.
I don't know what exactly appeals to me about that career (okay, I do, I wanna dig in the dirt...), it's hard to know whether or not I will ever have it. I plan on attending a school next fall that has that as a major, but if it's something I can actually -have- a job with is questionable. The job field itself is very small, and there are numerous people who pursue this path. Most will end up professors.
I have come to the conclusion that I will ultimately major in History (as to work in a museum, hopefully the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.), and minor in Archaeology just in case the situation arises that I can actually become a full blown archaeologist.
At this point in time, I need at least four more years of schooling to get my Master's, so if all goes well, May 2014 I will have a Masters degree in either History or preferably, Archaeology. So here's hoping! :)
Oh, actually, thanks to Top Gear (and even before I saw the show) I want to be a stunt driver. I have a need for speed and making pretty cars look prettier as they drive along slick and curvy mountain roads. I think it's mainly the speed though.
