    What do you want to be if given the chance, assuming salary and so on aren't an issue?

    I'd love to work in game design, not necessarily programming, because i'm lazy as heck, but i come up with really random, creative ideas every now and then, that would make for some interesting game mechanics/elements.

    I also just love how games work, game mechanics etc and basic lore/world design.
    More specifically i'd love to one day work on an mmorpg that isn't just go kill 10 boars and where being a blacksmith that never leaves town is a valid option. With spore vehicle creator - like options as to how you can make your weapon and armour look when blacksmithing etc etc, with an in-depth, logical magic/skill system and experience stuff that makes sense. It's stupid that you need level 30 on your mage in order to be able to progress you smithing skill, why would a mage of level 30 be able to smith bether than a warrior of level 10? etc etc...

    So TLDR game design, without the effort of programming :p but that's not realistic.

    i'm currently just in a really lazy dumb life phase, if i manage to get my life sorted out and learn to get off my ass and work, by actually learning how to programm, i can do that, it's basically my dream, but i'm just a lazy fool that accomplishes nothing... Azeliblehehlel's( sorry if i butchered the name) post depressed me because i have parents that support me financially (granted i don't waste much money) and are there for me, but i'm just a lazy good-for-nothing atm... Like i work a bit on the side, but i have to study to get a real job eventually... ((I recently turned 20))

    Edit: hilariously enough i do stuff but most of the time but the stuff i do is based on my personal interests, like making those articles for the server, that takes quite some time and effort but it isn't really useful to me aside from contributing to the server. It doesn't progress me as a person, to become an independent responsible adult.

    I recommend codeacademy.com , its a free introduction to loads of coding languages and stuff, its even fun! I know the lowlife phase, I've been through them plenty of times... Give it a shot, emerge out of your phase!

    While game development would be cool, I have to go with voice acting. It's a way to make money with my mouth without having to juke the authorities.

    It's "Azeliblehblehbleh", dweeb! That's my new best friend, get it right!
    But seriously, the way my dad raised me, I'm the kind of guy who realises that with hard work comes great rewards. It's a great ethic to cling on to. You'll leave the couch potato phase behind soon, I'm sure of it!

    I hope so, i'm not just your regular couch potato though, i'm an advanced couch potato. I can lie in bed all day with my laptop. Seriously, if i'd win the lottery or something i'm confident i wouldn't work a day of my life... So yeah.

    I'm desperately caught between three fields, and Archaeology is one. Along with the field of Ornithology and some kind of political track. But I love two things. Biology and Social Sciences. Animals and people. Both are interesting and entertaining to me. Right now, I'm aiming at the Biology side, Ornithology mostly. Maybe, if it interests me enough, cellular biology (I'll admit that studying things like immortal animals would be amazing.)

    I'd love to be a history professor at a college. Or an archaeologist, but preferably a history professor. I'd like to specialize in teaching about the Dark Ages and the Renaissance, but I dunno.
