Off Topic What do you want to be/do with your life?

[gymgurl]

I thought this would make for an interesting thread anyone can participate if they want parents you can say what you wish you did or what you did do etc

What would you like to do when you finish school?
What do you want to do as a job/at uni?
Ideally, where would you be in 10 years time?

One for the parents - what area do you work in?

I'll start,

I have two options and i'm not sure which i would like to do more. The first is take a gap year to maybe South Africa or France and explore the world. The second is to go straight to University and study maybe going on a student exchange program to Paris

What i would love is something in the science field maybe medicine. I have interest in Medical Research, don't you think it would be incredible to find a cure for a disease that currently has none!!!!! I think i would love to work in cancer research. Or maybe a Psychologist I would love to help those who have trouble and help them back to happiness and i reckon it would be very rewarding to see your patients back to a healthy state of mind. I have also thought of studying sports coaching at a uni because i have considered moving into coaching after i finish my gymnastics. I have also considered various medical roles and physiotherapy, specialising in sports injuries

In 10 years i would love to be entering the workforce and just living life to the fullest

I'm about half way done at a 4-year University right now and I will hopefully be going to vet school after :] Otherwise I might be a teacher, maybe for elementary school. I would also love to be either a dance teacher or a gymnastics coach.

Someday I would like to be able to start my own business, although I'm not really sure what type of business yet.

Anyways, I would like to coach gymnastics. Definitely what I'm going to do, so I'll take physiotherapy and stuff to help out my gymnasts.

1. Own a gym- Coach gymnastics!
2. Be a gymnastics judge!
3. Sports photographer (mainly for gymnastics)
4. Crime scene investigator

Oh and a mom!

 

[lavinmeg]

I would like to somehow stay involved in gymnastics, I would love to own a gym but I don't know if I want gymn. to be my only job so I think coaching would be best. I would also like to be a radoligist or and orthopedic

 

[B Gymnast]

We think alike, gymnastjaiderz! I would like to own a gym/coach, Be a judge (probably when I'm alot older, though!), and be a gymnastics photographer! And if I had a kid they would probably do gymnastics Haha

 

[gymnastgets10]

I think I want to be a physical therapist. In college I want to major in exercise science and minor in classics (latin and greek). Then I'll have to go to grad school to become a PT. I've just started looking at colleges (i'll be a junior next year) and, wow, is it a lot to take in! I also definately want to stay involved in gymnastics; I'd love to be a compulsory coach and have some time to mess around in the gym.

 

[gymnastbeth]

I would love to do something with graphic design, I take a lot of computer classes, and I like playing around with Illustrator in my spare time.

 

[JBS]

I would like to retire and open a gym camp in Bora Bora. Here is my camp director chair...

 

[Deleted member 9865]

Ideally in 10years I'd like to have my HPC in both MAG and WAG and hopefully have finished a degree in biomechanics

But alas that is far away.

 

[Deleted member D3987]

JBS, let me know when you're ready. i'm all over that with you. i'll buy the house!

 

[Max Fire]

After finishing school I’d like to relax for some months like going camping and other stuff and when it’s time I will find a job with a satisfying salary, later on I will buy a car and a house and settle with that.

 

[SkiBumGymMom]

Neat thread!

I'm:
1) a Mom
2) Then I started as a sign language interpreter with an associates degree at a local community college(before my DD who is Deaf was born)
3) Then I became a special education teacher when I got a degree in that taking classes at night
4) Then I got my masters in Deaf Education and run the program for our entire school district

But that only pays the bills for part of the year!

I also:
1) Teach kids skiing. I have certification for children (7-14) and adaptive (from sit ski to cognitive/VI impairements such as Downs and autism). That's what I do on some weekends and over winter break now that my girls are older. I always did it over winter break.
2) During the summer I raft guide!

As I get closer to retirement (still awhile a way though) I just want to be a ski bum when I grow up. That's alL!

 

[henrik541]

What would you like to do when you finish school?

1-Go to Uni.
2-During Summer, visit London, USA and attend a Acrobatic Gymnastics Camp in this last one. Also, try Artistic Gymnastics in this last one.

What do you want to do as a job?

1- Be an actor (not so sure, anymore).
2- Be a designer (of something).

Ideally, where would you be in 10 years time?
I'm not sure about that time but, in the future, I have to be dancing, acting and doing gymnastics, for a long time...
If I have two children, they will be 2: one girl, older, that will start ballet or gym until she wants to stop, and a son, that will start any sport (prefer. gym) that develops him.
I have to work on something I like, I will live in USA, London and Spain, besides Portugal, be a coach, have my own gym, that helps lost people get in the right way.
I still have some aspects to work on, but that's basically it!

When I grow up I first definitely want to finish college. (I'm in the process of transferring which is really complicated. I loved by old school and the gym team there but now that I'm hurt I have more opportunities at my new school). My old majors were Physical Education Teaching (K-12 Emphasis) and Health Education Teaching with a minor in Coaching. Now they'll be Physical Education Teaching and Personal Training with a minor in Athletic Coaching. So pretty much the same.

I just got a job coaching cheerleading at a high school for the Deaf so I'm super excited. My dream in life is to open a gym for Deaf kids and anyone who uses sign language (kids and siblings of Deaf, etc.). It'd be open for adults too. Too many Deaf kids are told gymnastics isn't a sport for them, but that's not true. Until I can get the money for that I want to maybe start gymnastics programs in the DC area (high concentration of Deaf b/c of Gallaudet the Deaf college and other schools). Maybe start one at the high school I'm coaching (I can become a gym or health teacher there too, or maybe a trainer at the uni to make more money to save up for a gym while I do that) at and try to start a club gym team at the Deaf university I'm transferring to. I'll def. be busy but it'll be worth it! Then work my way up to being a gym owner!!

(Although most of this involves me moving from home and working in DC. Maybe if I get my gym big enough I can start more for Deaf kids across the country. Like a second gym in Southern California!! I always wanted to move somewhere warm when I was a kid, living in the mountains with all the snow wasn't my idea of fun. So yeah start a gym in DC then one in San Diego or LA )

 

[gymgirl1129]

I either want to be an ocupational therepist or an engineer. I also want to stay involved in gymnastics after high school so I am hoping to find a gym near my college to coach at!

 

[CoachSteph]

Well right now I have one more year and I'll be a certified mechanic. After that I want to go on to be able to design cars (Automotive designer.) I also want to continue coaching gymnastics and hopefully have a gym one day.

 

[sophgymnast]

I would love to be a doctor that specializes in sports, and maybe go to the olympics and other games as a doctor. That would be fun I would also like to coach gymnastics, and possibly open up a gym..
@JBS - I am so going to that camp! LOL

 

[GetaGrip]

Well, currently I am just about to start 10th grade, so I still have a lot of things to do! I would love to go to college and major in some sort of science. I am just about to start Chemistry, so we'll see how that goes, and if I like maybe i'll stick with it! I'm also very interested in Physics because of how much it influences sports like gymnastics. Basically I'm just a huge science nerd

But really, I just want to live life enjoying every day
