SERIOUSLY.

Well atm sadly still studying though hoping to study a bit further and maybe do a bit in journalism to help out my writing or maybe even study english further.
Though I am currently a free freelance writer (sadly not getting paid yet) ;(. Hoping to get more involved in the starcraft 2 scene above and beyond the interview I do over at polarfluke.co.za.
Looking at the poll I was surprised to see a lot of engineers and not information technology people but hey that's just me .

Job prospects are regional i guess. Here in the Netherlands the employment rate is very high (98.5% for my generation), pay is decent, but don't expect to get rich.
In your OP you suggest doing both chemical&civil - i personally don't see the added value of doing two engineering disciplines. I'd rather look into something that provides economical background and/or helps you to influence/manage people. Basicly what im doing is taking chemical engineer for sure because I love chemistry And then maybe, if the job market is slow or I dont feel done with school, consider taking a 2 year master program to build on my current enducation called "Industrial chemistry and biotechnology" roughly translated. That basicly allows me to get the civil engineer title and choose a bit more specificly what I want to work with, cause within this course there are several specialitys like "Process chemistry" "Bio tech" etc It also gives management and economy courses and that cant be a bad thing to have ^^
Ah... for me civil engineering is engineering related to roads, bridges, sewage piping, concrete etc. I think you mean something different by that term, hence the confusion. Definitely get a masters degree if you can!

Well im in High School in France and I want to be a surgeon.

Im currently studying a mixture of Chemistry, Music, and German. My problem is that I get really interested in one subject for a couple of years, and then move on to another one. First it was chemistry, then music, and now ESPORTS. (the German ive been doing all along, i just like the language.) As for what i plan to do with it all, I will almost certainly pursue some sort of PhD track, with the intent to teach at a university. Whether i do that as a musicologist, a composer, or a chemist has yet to be decided.

Might be me messing up translations, its called "Sivil ingeniør" in norwegian so :p
Anyways its a masters degree No confusion there ^^

Medical doctor ^^ Trying to specialize in either intensive care (anesthesia) or infectious diseases.
It wasn't something I knew all along, but I had one of the five best averages in the country so I could pretty much pick whatever I wanted when I left gymnasiet. I actually ended up rolling a dice when I had to decide which education to apply for as I was horrible conflicted over chemical engineer or medical doctor - both my father and my sister are chemical engineers so if you've got any questions I'll gladly try and shed some light on it if I can @ OP.
But yeah, my dice ended up showing chemical engineer but it simply felt wrong so I went with medical doctor instead. I'll admit there are moments (@ exams) when I regret it though - I'm far better at chemistry than medicine, but the human aspect is what makes medicine so special and I get to use a lot more of myself as a doctor which I find very fulfilling.
@Blix:
In scandinavia it isn't 2 different engineering disciplines, just our masters are called civil engineers when talking about engineers. You can either study chemisty as an engineer (so you will end up as a civil engineer in chemisty if you do the masters) or at the university. The university education is more geared towards research and less towards the industry than the civil engineers.

dreams are what i know cannot come true to me, aspiration is what i work towards (:
That's not true at all - my dream was to work in the video game industry - it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do with my life - ever. It took 3 years of harrrrrrd work and long hours after my 9-5 job, but, now I'm living my dream and I couldn't be happier. Granted, Pro Gaming isn't as "reliable" as other jobs, but if that's what you dream doing with your life - you have to put in the effort.
After I came home from work, I'd spend 5-6 hours each night working on 3d or working on levels for my portfolio...and I did this most days for the better part of 3 years, but, it paid off immensely. If you want to be a pro-gamer or ANYTHING for that matter, you have to put in the work.

The trading assistants, not necessarily, you just have to be able to read the mind of the trader you are assisting, ROFL.
It's not that. It's basically I have no interest in making an already financial giant, more money nor do I really give a sh!t. It's a personal thing. Problem is, I have studied/worked in these industries since 17 years old and I am 29...
Guess it's never too late huh.

I manage a lot of industrial/3d design, occasionally do some basic industrial design, but I don't have the skill set or education to claim to be a legitmate industrial designer.
I work in exhibit design, specializing in the 2D elements. Currently I managing other designers (graphics, architecture, landscape architecture, industrial/exhibits).
