[Discussion] What makes you want the career you want or that you have?

['Toxic]

When you think of a career or the job you want, what drives you to aim to be what you desire? Do any of you ever get the pressure of society? Do you have a personal story behind what you want to do?

Share it.

---------------------My Story-----------------------

I want to become a Biologist/Geneticist/Doctor (all 3 and mix it all into one)- I desire to cure or help find the cure to many deadly diseases; specially Cancer.

I lost my older brother to cancer, my aunt, close people to me and currently my cousin that's 19, is sick with Cancer. Yesterday, I heard news that the family doctor who use to treat me when I as a child, asked my aunt when would I return to the hometown I grew up because I promised him that one day I would become a doctor, he needs 'fixing' now; he has cancer.

It's probably a path I should take, there was a time when I had decided that it was my dream then I got lost and believed that the only reason I wanted to find the cure was because I felt guilty that I only stood and watched people who meant a lot to me die. So I let it go..and after doing so, my cousin falls ill to cancer, it hurt but I knew it wasn't for me to change it. So I went on with wanting to be a psychologist, then this news. When I heard of the promised I had made, I got reminded that I've been trying to turn away from it.
I've never been a man of god or religion but I have always been searching/seeking like some of you for my purpose in life and honestly, growing up and watching all this happen, did affect me. In a odd way, if such god exist or it's just mere coincidence, I believe that I have more reasons to do this, I want to be someone who helps in the race for the cure and other diseases.

---------------------

That's my personal story behind it. Do any of you guys ever feel like this or had picked a career because of things that have happened around you and want to change them?

Also don't joke around, if you want to share a story or just tell your career, feel free to. If you violate the NB global rules, I will not think twice before reporting you. ​

Am very sorry for your loss U_U I know how it feels, my father also had cancer...

When it comes to me I want to be a programmer When I chose that I didn't really have any purpose xd but it's mainly because it's something imo which is very interesting and attracted my attention.
It's something I enjoy learning and something you can learn at home aswell
You can make some funny or intersting small programs for yourself and show your friends how awesome you are xd (jk about the last part )

Sorry, :ghehe: that all I can think about atm

There are many things that I want to be..

But if I had to narrow it down I would pick engineering because science is interesting to me and math... I am good at math.

There are also many things that I would like to try as a job like dancing, video making, computer programming. Those things sound fun but to me engineering seems the most practical.

Thank you, I'm sorry to hear that..there's many people who have lost someone to this disease or have suffered due to it. It's never easy for anyone.
That's awesome xd I'm not good with such stuff lol I cant even fix my own computer if it stops working. I have a cousin who can, he can also build them U_U
And every dream counts, I'm not someone who will judge^^ Well I do like psychology to be honest so I might also take it as a minor and geneticist as a major then after I'm done with studying with both, I'll continue with getting my doctor degree. D; sounds like it's a lot but it will be worth it.​

umm i wanted to be an engineer but ma homies threw me out of home and told me to search for my own house and take care of myself
so now i work, study on my own
and i want to be a programmer and i along with my friends we are
developing a game on the windows platform and God knows what will happen

Hm, well, one of my first dreams was to be a psychologist, but because that study course has mathematics in it and maths is one of my weakest subjects, I had to let go of that dream.
I would have liked to study history, but with that I wouldn't have found a decent job.
So I settled on one of my other interests: languages. I hope to be a translator of books one day and an author too. Hopefully I'll manage to be both.

Thanks

But when it comes to having a motivation to study something, I really admire you for that and that is what actually helps you study seriously...
For me, I have no real purpose for learning what I'm studying right now lol and my grades suck xd so you can imagine

Very important to have a purpose or/and motivation :y

Math is also a weakness of mine..but I want to change that and become better at it. I will have to study harder to achieve what I want. I believe that if you truly want to take a job, you should never give up on it.
I wish you luck^^

Thank you and I guess so but like I told the person above me, if you truly have a dream to be that then even if you're not so great with ur grades in school, it's never too late to turn around. I use to have sucky grades in middle school and turned that around from D's C's to A's and one or two B's.
My weakness is math and it's highly needed to become a doctor/biologist..I failed both my Chemistry and Physics Final exams with a 64..never have I been that interested in physics, I'm more of a genetics, DNA, Biology man but I will become better for the sake of this dream I'm chasing.

I want to be a rapper for recognition and respect. I spent most of my life as a recluse, not knowing people and vice versa, so this is why i want to make up for it.

I also have an occasional desire to be a wrestler, an author or someone who writes scripts and to make my own anime/manga.
