My vision is excellent, i have not been tested, but i can read road signs from a LONG distance, and on most nights i can drive without any headlights on (tried it a few times, i pretty well dont need em XD)

I remember that even though I was young, I still really wanted to be a Video Game Tester when I found out it was a job you could be paid for. They made it look like so much fun that that old show "Popular Mechanics for Kids". I now was given that chance for EA as a summer job. It was still a lot of fun but not as fun as expected. I wouldn't mind giving it another shot though.

When I was a young pup.... ~thinking~ I had a few, but the one that pops into my head... everyone can laugh. I wanted to be a Power Ranger. The pink one... yup. That was my dream job when I was younger and now it's just what ever job I can get and a dream in my head that I want to make into reality in a few years time if I can.

Yeah... man... playtesting. I did that for EA back in 2002 myself and I absolutely hated it, though I hear it's not as bad as it once was with crunch time and all (any truth to that?). I just remember working 13 hours a day every single day for a month.

There was lots of team camaraderie, but there pretty much had to be to keep you from going insane. It's one of those jobs that makes you say "wow, playing video games for money? Sign me up!" and then the truth is that you don't so much "play" the game as hammer on a certain part of it over and over and over.

Audio engineer + producer. I'd like to run my own studio and record label, with time to still DJ and do live mixing on the road for bands.

Big goals!

I am in line to be an audio engineer myself, but coming up with the money for the equipment is tricky.



Don't enroll at PAVI  D:   Sure their facility looks nice but they don't give you studio time, and if they do its just to point out all the sweet equipment you will never be able to touch...   >___>

Harbourside Institute of Technology is a local school worth investing in, if you want to be trained with sound works and recording and have significant studio practice. : )

Well funnily enough when Chi was younger he actually wrote a poem about how he wanted to be a writer and that poem (which was seriously a journal entry NOT a poem... but since every teacher in the school disagreed. photocopied and posted it frakkin everywhere I gave up) eventually ended up being published so... Go Me ^_^

Haloth

Well then, do you have a copy or a link to this poem?    I must read it.    : O

Thanks for telling me dude, cause I actually had PAVI in mind...
Right now ideally would probably be the Art Institute... the program is 2 and a half years and totally accredited.

A good idea, seeing that Harbourside has been around for a few years now, but they are not accredited.   

But their business ethics seem solid.

I don't know if it's different for audio, but AI is getting a bad rep in the video game / film industries for art, programming, etc.  I hear they've really gone downhill in the last few years.

I always and still want to be on stage in a metalband, rocking out in front of Thousands of fans, watching there fist pump in the air to the beat!

Now more realisticly, id love to be a private guitar teacher :)
