    I love science in general, and i also love buildings, since i was pretty young i started to play with LEGOs, that introduced me to the world of architecture, which is currently the career i am studying.

    Regarding the science thing i said first, since i was pretty young i was also pretty interested in planes, they really impressed me... They fly! So i really did not know if to study aeronautics or architecture at first. I may end up studying aeronautics once i end up architecture if i have the time.

    I also really like computers and anything related to them, i can not program, but i will try to learn it as well, i gave a try to those RPG makers software, and i really enjoyed my time with them (Like the time i enjoy when wiring stuff in Starbound, or my previous things with redstone in minecraft).

    I think that copes many things that i am interested in right now, i will skip usual things such music, films, etc, because i do like them, but i do love those i said earlier.

    I'm a carefree, friendly and creative guy. But I despise math. My deal's graphic design, conceptual art, music (violin), history, etc.

    I'm hoping to study archaeology when I get to university, and do art/music on the side as I study and work. Plus I like the outdoors and I'd love to travel around the world discovering things.

    I love to play tennis. I started playing in the 9th grade and continued to play because it was the only sport that I could play. I suck at sports. I do a lot of tabletop games with friends like Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder, and D&D (3.5e and 5). I write stories in my freetime, watch anime, read comics, and listen to music. I also run a board game club and Asian culture club in my school.

    Career-wise, I want to do anything in law-enforcement or business. So I compromised and I'm going to try for a degree in Accounting and then go the route to become a Federal Agent. Either an IRS special agent, or an FBI special agent. Otherwise, I'd like to become a police officer because I like being in a position where I can protect others.

    I play badminton. I do gaming, PC tinkering and to a minor extent ; the local troubleshooter guy. My hobbies are Games Workshop tabletop games, I began with a Tau army as my first because guns'n less-grimdark go well together. I also like to go see places on my bike, but more for recreative style of riding instead of racing and all that jazz. Dont like that anymore.

    Job-wise, I am unemployed. Finished a IT study all good'n fine, started to apply since then and they didnt want me time after time. I got enough experience already but I constantly get waved off on the most ****iest of reasons and am pretty fed up about it. Since I always wanted to work in the IT sector. Mainly as a person behind the scenes to keep stuff running.

    My hobbies and careers tend to blur.

    My current job is at Best Buy. It's retail, pays poorly, the hours are short, and the environment isn't friendly.
    I want to either be a computer programmer/software developer (like I used to be) or an administrator of a fully fledged community that's profitable enough to be a career.

    I love doing admin work, I also love writing programs. These two things play really nice together as I can build great things for people.
    Sadly, I'm not very good at making either of these things profitable - partly due to my own generosity. Being poor myself, I find it difficult to charge people for things I do as I think it's better for the world if they're free - but money is the name of the game, unfortunately.

    My hobbies are coding and playing games. I really like dota 2 and sometimes play in some amateur tournaments. I've run a minecraft server role play for over 2 years that has had varying levels of popularity from 50 unique daily players down to about 7 depending on the time of year. I've coded a few plugins for my server but nothing massive just a dive rolling and a few other things

    As for career im a manager at a rec center specifically over the pool area. Which just means I baby sit highschool lifeguards to make sure they do their job.

    I'm a SPESS MERHEEN sort of guy, but good to see someone else plays 40k. As far as what I do, I play Baseball, do the lights in Theaters, and play Super Smash Bros. surprisingly seriously.

    I enjoy 3d modeling of things like architecture and recreating scenes from my favorite games. Also take commissions on Second Life for some extra cash now and then. Though currently I've been utterly addicted to Elite:Dangerous, I also adore crazy spectacle fighters like KIller is Dead and Metal Gear Rising.. Now for some of my artwork/models if any are interested, I make these using Blender and photoshop in conjunction with one another.

    Heres some stuff I've made in Secondlife for a roleplay sim, kinda quit going there due to a god-awful community that existed there who wouldn't stop harassing me about my work:

    The 7th Heaven (Textures by a good freind.)

    I also have some personal artwork I do now and then:
    Link is breaking just copypasta tinypic.com/r/2a5yd1i/8

    And I won't be afraid to admit I'm totally an effing furry more interested in cutesey non-sexualized characters such as my own (SFW pic):

    As for career.. currently stuck living on government aid/commissions due to lack of interest in my profession in my area . :<

    FYI, your first few images don't work. The last one, the tinypic link works, though, looks nice.

    There isn't a link limit, but try uploading them as attachments instead.
