One thing I've been looking into is what kinds of careers level designers and modders seem to go into. There seems to be some loose correlation with writers, at least from people I know.
What kind of career fields are you guys going into (or currently in)?
I have an interest in engineering, as I have and always will have a passion for creation. My dream job would be to work for Valve though, of course. ^_^
Your Career

I own a cocktail and BBQ stand right beside my house, which I work just part time. And when I am not doing that, I prepare and ship out the orders I get from my online business located at: http://coquimart.ecrater.com/ . I am currently involved with a major, renovation construction project that keeps me busy for the rest of my time.

Once my military enlistment ended some years ago, one of the first I things I did was to use my G.I. Bill collage funds towards getting a small business management certificate. Nothing fancy, just the basics.

Something in Engineering, probably Mechanical.
I've always loved math and building / designing, so this just comes naturally.

Majoring in English and Math Education. When I'm done with it, I'm hoping to get into the JET program for a year, followed by moving to Japan and teaching English as a career. But if JET falls though, there's plenty of alternatives.

Something in the automotive industry for sure, probably some greasy-ass technician since that's the kind of stuff I enjoy doing.
I think we'll find this a very interesting thread, because while the expectation is that the average mapper is looking to get into some highly technical computer-related industry, in reality I believe there is no average mapper.

When I was younger I hoped I'll be a doctor, but the risks are too high(like malpraxis) and the learning procces too long.

Hey Unbreakable, I know all about the Circuit City stores, but I am not familiar with 'The Source by Circuit City' you mentioned, what is that about?

A bigger branch of it, though.
I have 8 little peoples to boss around
Also a much faster commute. 15 minute on the bus, on a service that runs every 10 mins.
Much improved since last time it was 50 minutes on an hourly service.

The Source by circuit city, and circuit city are actualy two different companies. Last I've heard Circuit City is actually going out of business at which time we will probably be know as 'The Source'. I'm not too sure at what actually happened but it's pretty much the same store, just defferent owners so to speak... well, its actually a corporation soo.. I guess theres no owners.. bah, hard to explain.. sorry

I'm going to study business science(it's one of the top (and most difficult) business degrees you can get, very hard to get accepted, only offered by a few Universities), and the hopefully get a nice business job, and climb up the corporate ladder. I might even start my own business. From what I have heard from graduated business science students, they get extremely good jobs straight out of University, in New York, London, etc.
If I don't get into business sci, I will do computer science, or maybe engineering.
