Describe your dream future.  What careers might you be interested?  What do you think you would like to do after school?

Here are some sample "Dream Futures" from other students:

http://communityties.us/traverse/content/dream-future

Also think about if there is a place locally (anywhere in Marquette county) that could be a good place to shadow someone (observe what they do to find out more about the career) or a good place to have a part-time job or internship to gain more experience in the area you are interested in.

I have always wanted to travel and be a writer. One day I hope to be a producer and be able to share my experinces with others. I'm interested in anything in the broadcasting industry, but I would love to work for the "Stars and Stripes" newspaper in Germany.

I'm interning right now at the U.P. Catholic Newspaper and I've learned a lot since I've been there. I would like to get a part time job or an internship at a news station in the Marquette area. I think it will really help build my resume up and give me more experince before leaving NMU.

I plan to go to Michigan Tech after high school for a degree in one of their computer science programs. Afterwards I want to work as some kind of tech consultant, either privately or as tech support at a business.

The one job, or rather career that I'd love to have is in music, I currently already have a band started and will someday we'll take it somewhere. What I like about it is that you can travel the world doing shows for people and making fans.

I have two dreams for my future really. I am going into a SMP with ROTC army and the national guard while going to college. I want to study criminal justice in college and do millitary police for the national guard. I want to go active duty officer after i graduate so that i can travel the world. I think it will be really cool to do before i come home and settle down. When i retire from the millitary i want to open a business, maybe a resturant chain or somthing. It will keep my busy and i think it will be really cool.

I plan on attentding Northern Michigan University for a degree in the business field or in finance. I don't want to move away, atleast for awhile. After college I hope to find a job in Marquette County that will fit my career.

I have taken almost all of the business classes offered at IHS, and I have liked them all so I am considering a job in the business field. I have also taken Accounting I and Accounting II and I have really liked those classes as well so I am also considering a future in accounting and finance.

For my future Dream Job i would like to become a either a Archaeologist or Marine Biologist. History is my favorite subject and i like to learn about past civilizations so i think it would be cool to uncover a hidden city or something that no one has discovered for 100's of years and be able to take credit for it. I would like to become a marine biologist even though im not that good at science. But learning about new life or a different species of an animal fascinates me. But i dont tthink i can find any of these career paths staying in this city.

My "Dream Job" would be to become a Lawyer. I probally wouldn't be able to stay anywhere around marquette county for long because I don't think that Northern has a class where I could get a fully degree... according to my dad.

I plan to make a career in psychology. Out of all the possible majors and careers, its the only one that really interests me. It would be a cool job, just studying how different factors, such as drugs, hormones, and the environment, affect behavior. It's not a high paying career, psychologist salaries are usually below $90,000/year, but I think that's more than enough money to support a 4 or 5 member family. Hopefully it's a career that will lead me back to and allow me to support my hometown.

I really haven't put much thought into the future but I am pretty openminded about it. When I was younger I was dead set on being a vet but now I don't really think I would ever be able to put down an animal or see it suffer. I also wanted to be doctor way back, it's good paying job and It would feel good to save someone but I know I would not have the stomach for it. It just isn't the right job for me. Recently i have been talking about culinary school. I enjoy cooking but I have been reading up on it and cooks have bad hours and not very good pay. I'd like to think I would pick a job because I love it and not for the pay. I am also thinking about the brain. I find the brain so interesting and something in that field, who knows what, would be very cool, haha. Psychology? I guess I have thought about my future a lot more than I thought. It is scary to think about growing up and going off to college. Anyway I don't have one set and stone choice and I really don't think I am going to decide on what I am going to do in my life today.

Im not positive on what i would like to be yet. I like science and math a lot, and i was thinking about become some kind of engineer or sports medicine doctor. I wanna become a sports medicine doctor because since i have had surgery on both of knees, I have had a lot of experience in sports medicine and i know a lot about it, i think its really interesting too. I wanna be an engineer cuz i like to build. I used to want to be a surgeon, but i dont know if i would be able to handle the fact of holding someones life in my hands. I also kinda want to be some sort of art person, maybe as like a side job, i love to draw and stuff like that.. but like i said, im not positive. I would like to stay within marquette county, but if a job requires me to move, then i will. I don't wanna go to far, I dont want to go to big cities, just because i like knowing where everything is. Big cities scare me. I dont want to live in the country, cuz there nothing there. I have job shadowed a surgeon at bell in 8th grade, it was a good experience, and i learned a lot.

I want to either be in the Coast Guard, computer engineer, or working with radio. I have been wanting to start my own radio station for a few years. I could get an internship at the bear because i know a few people that work there and that would really help my chances at getting into a job like that.
For the Coast Guard i dont really have anyone that i could shadow so i dont really know if that will ever happen.
And then for computer engineer i dont really know about that either. I dont know anyone that does something like this and i doubt that i will ever find someone in ishpeming that does do this kind of stuff.
