What do you guys want to be when  you grow up?? I want to work for NASA in the area of Astro-physics, or be a scientist for the human-genome project. And, of course, and author, but who doesn't?? I also sometimes fantasize about working for the circus :D:D:D as a clown or trapeze artist, or one of those ladies that dances on the backs of running horses :D:D:D Anyhoo, I was wondering what you guys want to do when you grow up.

You might end up regretting it. Someday when  you're too old to have children, you'll start to think, and then wind up wishing that you had had a child of your own. Just think about that for a minute: having a life grow inside of you! Isn't that a fascinating enough thought to have at least one kid?

It's a fascinating thought, and it would be fun, but... I'd still just rather not. I know it's a major sacrifice, but I think it's worth it. You guys can have as many children as you want, but I'll just

OOPS! *blushes, because males can't give birth unless they're sea horses*) can have as many children as you want, but I think I'll just adopt. Of course, there's no telling for sure that I won't change my mind at some point (look at my age!), but I don't think it will.

I think we've got a little while before we have to decide, as you said. :)

If everyone decided that there were enough people in the world, there would be no more people. If our parents decided not to have kids, none of us would be here! A Catholic priest won't marry a couple if they don't intend to have children, because that is what the married life is for: to have a family of your own, to sacrifice for one another, bearing each others faults and raising children. It's just one less person who might do something great in the world. But I've got my opinions, and you've got yours. Friends, I hope? :)

I agree with you, Koffee. I want to have at

least one kid of my own someday. Adoption

could always be an option after that. :D

I might be a professional actor. NOT in Hollywood, too nasty, I mean in actual live theatre. By the way, I'm having a play in a few weeks. I will be Oliver Warbucks in Annie.

Congratulations! And sorry about all this talk about having children; it must sound really weird to you.

Oh yeah... Anyway. Acting sounds like fun, Cramer! I like acting too, but I've never actually done any major plays.

It is my deepest desire is to be an apologist, and/or missionary and religion teacher. This is not like an I-want-to-be-a-ballerina-and-wear-a-pink-tutu kind of thing, but is a very serious passion of mine. Being on this website and listening to you has helped me realize what I need to be doing out there. Divine Providence is the reason that I am here and have you friends, not a coincidence. Thank you, everyone!
