    Wow if only this was possible :c

    My ideal career right now would probably be helping design and develop video games, this is because i've studied Computer design in college for 3 years along with Business studies and also have a Microsoft qualification to prove this.

    It just sucks now a days that there isn't many openings to jobs like these... ; _ ;
     
    As boring as it is, I'd just keep being a designer as I am now (well with a design related job that is xD).
     
    Well I'm going to school to become a pharmacist so if I could be one tomorrow without all of the schooling that lies ahead for me still then that would be nice. My goal is to be a pharmacist or the person who actually makes and researches new drugs.
     
    I wish this was possible now, it would be amazing :) I'd be a Special effects Artist :) I'd love to be doing that now but oneday I plan to go to the specialist college in London that worked on the 'Harry Potter' movies making the masks for the Goblins, The magical creatures ect. I'm very excited :D
     
    A professional makeup artist working with celebrity clients or a psychologist.
     
    Maybe a graphic designer or something that involves music composition.
     
    I'm studying to be a doctor (but I am also seriously interested in teaching), so ideally if I could have a career without the study: a full time doctor/part time teacher.
     
    I'd like to be a psychologist or a palaeontologist. Past experiences have made me strongly want to become a psychologist and help others however I can but I'm also really interested in ancient history so I'm not really sure. I have a while to think about it but I'd definitely like to get involved in a job that involves either history or psychology. :]

    I'd quite like to be a voice actor. There aren't enough English voices in anime or video games these days, and whilst my dulcet tones are hardly eargasm material, I'd make a good villain or voice for those dry, deadpan snarkers you either love or hate.
     
    I'd be a screenwriter or a musician. Although I must say that just becoming a teacher sounds really appealing too
     
    I'd like to be allowed to suddenly write fiction all day and make a huge load of money off it and take a week here and there to travel around the world for inspiration (and to meet online people!)
     
    I would be a writer. I don't know how I'd make it, but that would be something I'd love to do the most though. That is... if I can actually FINISH something. XD I love writing more than anything else in life... well... besides J-rock/visual kei anyway.
     
    I would work as a creator of some sort. Video production, video game design, screenwriting, you name it. They all interest me and I do some already as a hobby.

    However, I currently work as a YouTube channel developer and manager for several big American brands. So in essence I do already get to work as a creator, just vicariously. I get to say things like "Your content sucks, get gud. Your metadata is fail, get gud. Your thumbnail's done by a preschooler, get gud." And when they make the right changes and pull in a few thousand subscribers a week, everyone's happy. They get their numbers, they pay my company, my company pays me.

    But yeah, if I didn't have to worry about paying bills and building professional experience, I'd just run my own YouTube channel full-time and do other creative things to fill out my daily schedule.

    This is pretty much me as far as wanting to be a writer (or specifically, a ghost writer) and/or game developer goes. Unfortunately, there isn't too many employment opportunities for such professions around here. And I worry that my writing pace is too delayed to be of any use in a professional setting. Some day, perhaps. *sigh*

    Self-publication would usually be the place to start until you have something to show for your portfolio.

    Team up with like-minded individuals and go the indie-route to start. Anyone can get a game published on Steam nowadays.

    Brushing up on marketing and digital media would help, though. That's essential for anything social nowadays. I never went to school for it, but every job I worked since graduation demanded those skills and I just learned on the fly.
     
    this is 100% my ideal lmao because i dont think i can get through higher education but i have always been a very good teacher/tutor for the 8-14 age range so like. yeah that. also author/artist would be nice but the ability to come up with interesting stuff is kind of necessary :')
     
    I would be an art and/or film critic, writing for various magazines, and one day even get published in a journal or write my own book. Then after that, save up and run my own art gallery.

    If I could do that all, it would be amazing. I'm saving up now to go to grad school for art history in a few years, so maybe at least of those can happen in the future? Maybe? I sure hope so :)
     
    I'd advise against writing for a publication nowadays and go with starting your own digital media group. This works both in the sense of reality and also this topic where monetary value isn't a factor. In reality you'd be hard-pressed to find a staff position as a writer unless you have some kind of pre-existing connection with staff and your writing specifically brings in views. I mean all this digitally, by the way, as print is largely dead and has been dead or dying for many years now. You can write and submit content to get your feet wet, but the ceiling is super low.

    The joys of owning and managing your own media group also means calling your own shots. I don't know about you, but I don't particularly enjoy writing for someone else and having them dictate what I should/shouldn't cover, and afterwards going through ages of editing to suit the publication's voice and what pleases other media groups and the general public.

    Two cents. In case it's something you're actually planning on pursuing since it's quite the reachable goal within the next 5-10 years (or even sooner depending on personal effort and connections).
