?What do you want to be when you grow up ?. I wanna be in business (Stockbroker - London Stock Exchange). My sisters have jobs in inner city london in massive sky-scrapers with huge banks. They commute to London everyday. That kinda life has fascinated me. The smell of london the culture and being among all those skyscrapers. I cant actually explain it. Its the feeling london gives me. Thats partly why I wanna be a stockbroker or something along those lines. But I heard the pay isn't good........who cares ?

EDIT : Is anyone here a stockbroker ?

Well I am going to finish my education and then head to the finacial world too. I am going to do it after I've a degree in economics and/or accoutancy though which I hope to start in September 2006. I love stocks 'n shares and the whole concept of playing with money, but not in gambling. Though the stocks and shares is similar to a gambling machine in many ways.

Cool,
       Has'nt London ever tempted you. I think its the most beautiful city in the world. The smell in the morning just as the city is waking up, the hustle and bustle of commuters. The flow of energy in that place is crazy.

The question is "Who do you wanna do?"

The topic of the thread is "What do you want to be?"

Those are so fundamentally different.

Lol!
Yeah London is attractive - but I live in the Highlands of Scotland and that is about 550 miles away from London, but that sort of degree may take me down there looking for work.

Currently 14. I'll be a freshman next year. I want to acumulate hours slowly and have my PPL by the time I go to college. I'll probably just go to a local school. Then I'll join the Air Force and be an officer. Then I'll come out of the Air Force and get hired by a major airline and live happily after. After I retire, I want to buy my own airplane to screw around in.

thats what I want to do with my life but if God has other plans, then thats cool too! :)

I have grown up and now I'm myself. Not a stockbrocker. And I work for 25 years now.

And there are a lot of things I would like to do (taking flying lessons for instance).
