This has been the story of my life for the past 2 years, except biking, swimming, and friends have always been a big part of my life. I am currently 17 years of age and attending high school. Within a week of graduation (I graduate this school year coming up) I will be boarding a plane and flying to Philadelphia Internationl Airport, and making my way 58 miles north east to my apartment building in Camden, NJ. I will be finding a roommate beforehand via personals so I will only have to pay for half the rent and will be able to support myself off of a part-time job. I will be attending Divers Academy International in Camden NJ where I will get my commericial divers lisence. Then I will be taking several different programs at the Lincoln Electric welding school, and finally getting more specialized training in the field of underwater welding. This will be a stepping stone for me, and not my final career. I will use underwater welding as a stepping stone to becoming an underwater welding engineer, or underwater welding trainer. Not much more to say about my life. I enjoy the occasional video game but am growing out of that. Also, the way I will manage paying for everything is i've been working part time jobs since I was 16. I havn't spent a cent of the money i've made (except for on food, my mom isn't willing to spend the required amounts to feed me and frankly i'm sure she can't afford it) so i've saved up quite a bit of money now. I don't think I will be able to continue bodybuilding after I leave, so if that is the case I will start eating a normal diet and I will save a lot more money that way too. I plan on working a part time job while attending school in Camden, so that combined will pay for anything I need. I really envy the clarity of your life goals. Sounds like you have it well sorted out and a firm sense of direction, when most people your age couldn´t begin to summarize what they want. What made you want to be an underwater welding engineer though? It sounds like a strange aspiration. | ||

My name is Tom,I come from Kielce,small city in Poland,and I am almost 16.I have been playing chess few years ago then I gave it up for starcraft and finally I moved to poker in April. I used to have some kind of job as semi model when I was 15 but poker was way better option for making some money so I stopped it.I usually spend my time with my friends,reading fantasy books or few internet forums,playing cards and enjoying the life as much as I possible can. I like listening to rock music like Guano Apes or Evanescence etc...,I am planning to start making investments at stock market and play cards until that day.Maybe I 'll go to economics university but I am planning to make one year break from education after finishing high school. very good thread by the way | ||

 Hi \\o_ My name is Pedro, I decided to drop out of college in the last month, because I realized it isn't what I want in my life (at all), so I'm playing poker for a living. I'm moving to my gf's city (we've been together for 2years) and then plan my life from that point on. Nice to meet all of you | ||

i dont want to give my real name because i think people i know might read this forum >_>. just call me andy .i tend to be awkward and shy in real life, i usually avoid people, but really don't mind conversation once in a while. i'm in that part of life where i'm trying to decide what to do, especially since my grades last year weren't so great (i'm starting my senior year in a month). i'm afraid of going to college right now, because i know i won't be at all motivated. so i'm taking a short cut out, im heading to china for a year after my senior year to gather my wits, sit down and work. socially, like i said, i'm awkward. never had a relationship before, but not from lack of trying  . anyway, these last few days i've been in contact with a friend, and i've had something of a revelation about people. i need to be less judgmental and paranoid about them, i guess.finally, i consider myself a writer, but my productivity isn't so great. i'll maybe churn out one short story a month and not too long ones by that. journalism is a possibility for me, but the idea of churning away at a local newspaper doing something i hate out of principle scares me. unless some sort of breakthrough success happens to me in terms of writing, i'm not going to be able to take care of myself that way. oh ya, i've completely given up gaming now. it's just boring. | ||

Not sure its wise to tell my real name... Just call me Learning. I'm 16, live in Cupertino, CA, USA. born 1989, March 27. Currently attending MontaVista Highschool, this is summer but when I get back I would be a Junior. I like to make movies with friends, drawing(i consider myself a artist ^_^)play starcraft, and make Flash animations if I have time. Do some karate classes and in the badminton team for school. I was born in china, and then moved to US till about 14 years old. I'm okay with people and all, but I dont got a huge friendlist in real life, mainly becaues ppl tend to think I'm crazy by the way I talk and all... Want to become a bio/chem majoy. GL HF :D | ||

My life revolves around training MMA. Most of the time I box in the ring but once a week I do NHB fighting in the ring. The life of a fighter is pretty much the life for me. My goal is to be in the sickest fighting shape and one day start teaching MMA itself. And even make a living playing poker. Fuck 9-5 jobs, im going to do what I want to do, not what I have to do. I am a simple guy, I don't drink anymore, I don't go out to clubs and parties anymore, those places just aren't where I want to spend time anymore. Too many fake people hanging around those places pretending to be people they are not. I am also very laid back. I guess that is it. Oooops, forgot to mention that I am also a nerd. | ||

Taking the plunge So obviously it is contract work, for projects. Common companies for hiring are companies such as NASA. They neglected to mention one key thing, there is the danger factor which depending on depth/location can triple your sallery. And if you don't know what welding is and you're American... Weird. Just google welding. | ||

I'm taking software engineering at unb in fredericton. i enjoy playing soccer and reading / writing, particularly satirical pieces. kurt vonnegut's my favourite author. i help edit/write a joke newspaper for the engineering department. i've been addicted to bw for a long time, in grade 11 i skipped week of school to stay home and play. the ironic part, of course, is that everyone else who i wanted to play with during the daytime was at school. i got a weeks worth of inschool suspension for it. | ||

I'm a 16 year old male living in Belgium studying sience with 6 hours of math and 2 extra hours of german. Why the german? Because I didnt feel like 8 hours of math, I'm too freakin lazy for that and rather spend my time on the computer than studying, hah. I like to draw in my spare time which I usually do on saturdays in the art academy where I have some cool friends. I'm a site-creator (Link!) , usually doing both the programming and the designing (and maintaining, creating intro's, doing PR, whatever..) I like anime, manga, gaming, etc. As for music, I recently leeched Micah(cow)'s entire collection on a Lan party You da man, micah \m/I plan to focus more on designing than anything else in the future, mainly pumping up my skills and combining them with Photoshop, Flash, 3dsMax and Maya. I like to hang around with my friends the most, we chill a lot =D Nice to meet you all | ||
