I was just wondering what you guys are planning on doing after High School/College
Wanted to know how many people were going to try to get into the whole "game creation" crap and stuff, since everybody
says that's what they want to do.

Graphic designer, or maybe interactive design/game development.
Depends on what I major in...not 100% sure yet, but thinking about majoring in Interactive Design/Game Dev and minoring in Graphic Design.

I'm thinking of graphic design as well (print & digital advertisements, etc, etc.). Either that, or I'd want to work at a company like Apple...not necessarily for writing code and stuff, just working in marketing or testing or something. I have no idea how to get into that, though, I'm focusing on doing something with graphics.

Garbage man.
I really don't know yet to be honest. Something to do with computers, most likely...

As for me, I'm going to become a Lawyer, and then try for Supreme Court Judge.
Law Interests me.

I've considered that... In fact, if I knew I could be one, I'd take all the steps necissary... but I've long figured that there seems to be very very few of them... making it damn hard to be one.

Same here. Although I tend to go towards the law enforcement side, not the whole judge/lawyer side.
As for me, I intend to join the Marine Corps for 4-8 years depending on how I like it, if I really like it i'll stay in for the whole 20 years and retire.
Then when I quit, if needed i'll go to college to get my bachelors, then I'm joining the Police Force wherever I end up. I don't remember if military service bypasses the experience thing that normally means some college.
Then in my spare time, I intend to be a photographer and graphic design artist, but that's not a huge priority.

My degree covers a lot of things in the IT industry...So somewhere in that.
Honestly I'm not totally sure which field I shall go into afterwards, but just somewhere there.

I dunno if it still counts since I already graduated, but it was just this summer. I'm doing locksmithing. And 3d game development on the side for cash later.

(Even if I haven't started High-School, I still know what want to be.)
Anyway, I'd want to be an IT manager (Already got a job at Geek Squad) and a Professional 3D Artist.
Possibly something on the Graphics Design side as well, but I'll have to brush up my Photoshop skills to do that.

Fix'd. You'd probably use those programs more than Photoshop.

Software development, and then possibly game development later on. Halo is good practice =P

I'll not be making computers/video games my job. I'm in Business Management, and I think marketing or personnel sounds great.

I thought about the army, but that sheep dip in the royal marines training looks like hell...
Game designer?
The first time I
ever played Halo 3, the first thing I said to my friend was: "That's a nice detailed object collection".
Of course, he was like: "WTF?! TIME TO PWN SOME NOOBS!!!1!!"
Maybe, just maybe, I'll work for bungie some day... [/fantasy]
