Here's mine:
I'm going to graduate college with a degree in computer animation. Then, I shall move to California (since a large majority of animation is done there), and get a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment. I'll buy all my furniture at Ikea, and have a fridge stocked full of Vitamin Water, various steaks and other meats, and organic vegetables. I'll have a nice couch with a plasma TV sitting right in front. Whatever game systems exist by then will be sitting below/to the side of the TV. I'll learn how to cook via the internet/Food Network, and be able to whip up a mean Prime Rib on special occasions. I'd have modern technology: Most likely an iPhone after a while, and the most kickass computer ever.
Of course, what life would be complete without the perfect female counterpart? Eh, I'll worry about that later. Living the above dream by myself is epic enough for now. | We all know that's a cover-up for your axolotl army, and their subsequent invasion of the planet, right?
Did I just blow your cover and all that resources we spent on secrecy? |

Oh, shit. | You made me remember my English teacher moaning about how the goverment doesn't give a shit about education.

It all depends on where you live, teachers in my school get paid really well actually. |

British Columbian teachers are ridiculously overpaid. I'm pretty sure that they make more than doctors. |

Yeah. My mom is a nurse, and a teacher EASILY makes more money than her... which is pretty sad, considering the fact that you're more likely to see a nurse or doctor before right before you die than a teacher.
Also, on the Pro-D days? They go kayaking. |

I was just using it as an example.
Although I'm pretty sure that their wages do surpass those of a regular doctor. |

Nurses should get paid just about as much as doctors cuz they need their medical degree and shiznaz as well. |

And Frozen: Doctors require at least 4 years for the pre-med degree, and another four for specialization, and even more, if I'm right. Nurses actually require less. My sister looked into it a while back, and she found that out. |

I'd love to get into animation or graphic novels, but probably graphic novels since you can make a high quality one by yourself.
I'm not saying that working with a group is bad, I'm just saying that if you jump into comics and you don't have a name, you aren't going to have any control over the project you are on.
Also I like words.
I'd also like to finish Black Jack at some point.
I'll probably end up dropping out of college and killing myself though. :U |

Yup, it goes four years of college, you can really major in whatever you want to as long as you take the required courses to get into med school. Then four years of med school, then 2-8 years of residency. You have to pass an exam to get into med school, and 3 during medical school to continue on with schooling, and to get a license. Nurses go to school for 4 years and take one exam to get a license. Nurses do not need to pay for professional liability insurance either, and they don't have to spend nearly as much money for college. So I think doctors should be making a lot more than nurses. |

Well, according to my sister, who's planning to become an oncologist. |

Fellowship is if you're going into further training and is after your residency. Residency is required, fellowship is only required for some specialty physicians.
