I was hoping to go to Stanford University and study Psychology to become a Clinical Psycholist. However, plans change, life changes, and I am now a freshman at Arizona State University, studying Psychology, and not sure about career. Thinking just a masters in Clinical Counseling so I can work in inpatient.

Where I am now , getting my nuclear degree! Then grad school (not really sure where) for plasma physics. Career? Hmmm. It'd be cool to work at the National Ignition Facility, but I really don't know other than something with fusion power.

Franklin Pierce University for Psychology.. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that yet as the possibilities are endless to me, but I'll figure it out before I get my degree.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics; followed by another university (maybe Cambridge in the U.K., Princeton, or Cornell University) to get my PhD in physics. I hope to get a PhD in mathematics at some point as well. After my PhD in physics, I'd like to work either at the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics in Ontario, the LHC in Geneva, or at another university teaching and doing research.

As far as universities go I never really had a dream university. Dream career? Photographer. But thats always just beena dream. I'm an ENglish major and at the end of this year hoping to get my degree. Then Im applying to Elementary Education. Kind of far from photography hey?

I would love to go to Stanford, but my grades aren't good enough for that. Realistically, I want to be at UC San Diego. I'm debating with my career choices. I either want to become a child psychologist, a teacher, or a lawyer. The lawyer thing is a bit of a stretch though.

I've considered being a psychologist a lot, it's awesome how many of you want to!
And those of you who wanted to attend Stanford, don't worry about it! It's definitely a hard school to get into and expensive as well.

I'm not sure what college I want, maybe Yale since I live right near it or NYU, but I want to become an infectious disease specialist.

I'm already at university studying Biomedical Science but I'd like to do at least a Master's in a specialised area of this and then go on to work in the health sector doing whatever I chose to specialise in.
