What do you want to do for a Career?, Or state it if you got one. Options

Personally I want to end up working for Bethesda, using the Construction Set, or maybe writing the books. That would be a great thrill for me, having my own works found by adventurers far and wide across the face of Tamriel. Writing the quests, plot, and short stories found in an Elder Scrolls game would be a dream job for me... Too bad I need to go to collage first.

So how about all of you? What whould be your preffered job/career? Or, if you already have it, tell us what it is. Feel free to use all the detail you want, or lack there of.

Redsrock, man, I don't know about aiming for middle school teaching... it's can be a pain enough teaching college freshmen. It can be really rewarding too, granted, but it can sometimes be exasperating. I don't care to ever try my hand at middle schoolers. (If you do go that route, many props and much respect to you. Braver soul than I.)

What would you be brewing, Olen, if not beer?

Edit: I doubt I could teach English as a second language. I mean, I never, ever struggled with English classes in school. I never really had to LEARN it, like some folks have to work at it. When I was teaching composition I had the odd student who struggled with usage and grammar, and while I could correct them readily enough, I couldn't really teach them any rules to write by, in that sense. I mean, I just KNEW. That's all. That, and teaching grammar wasn't really supposed to be my job--that's what outside help like the writing center and tutors were supposed to be for. But it was frustrating.

Second edit: Don't suppose it helped my cause that I was a biology guy trying to teach comp. Hey, you take the TA jobs you can get. I submitted a writing sample. I took two english classes in college. That's it. I was coasting on natural ability, mostly. I'm guessing if Redsrock goes into teaching English, it will be with more formal training than I. Which would be good.
