What Do You Want to Be When You’re a Grown-Up?

Just thinking, I mean, we ask little kids that question all the time, and get answers back like 'A superhero!' and 'A monster-truck driver.'
But what do you, as a teenager or young adult, want to do after high school or college? Do you have any dreams you'd love to accomplish?

Parents, input from you would be appreciated as well. What did you want to be when you were a kid? Did it change a lot as you grew older? Did you stick with any of the professions you wanted to be as a child?

If there are any teachers or counselors on here, feel free to chime in. Answer the parent questions, or maybe things you see at schools that you find interesting about a teen's after-high school plans.

Here's a website that looks promising.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
