Well, that's not true. I have SOME idea. I'm interested in going into physics, biology, math, music, and theatre.

Currently I'm dual-concentrating in business management and marketing along with a minor in English/writing. My dream is to do something business related that also makes use of my writing talents. |
fiction or non fiction writing

I want to be a volcanologist. But that would require leaving my state eventually since there are no volcanoes here at all. But yeah my interests are all centered around plate tectonics. |

But for business purposes, professional writing is the way to go.
Also, protip for those wishing to go to college (every major pretty much):
LEARN TO WRITE! If you think you're already pretty good, get better! One of the top things hiring companies hate about college grads is that a lot of them don't know how to write. Being a solid writer puts you a step ahead of the competition.

I'm pretty much an all-around gamer. (Aren't we all?)
I'm right now using flash. Still a noob, but I'm progressing.
I already have an idea anyways for a video game, and I'll do everything I can to make that game idea a reality.

Well, I guess playing for a top premier league team would be awesome.
Otherwise, Doctor Who.

i used to want to do sound design in video games. but as with all of us, life happens and changes us. my interests in sound and sound design hasn't deminished, but life has pushed other interests past my old interests

For me, writing as a career doesn't appeal to me. Being an author is an unreliable source of income, and being a teacher isn't up my alley. I've also tried my hand at journalism, and while a great experience that's improved my writing exponentially, it's not for me. And thus, I throw it in the hobby category.
Besides...you don't need an English degree to be published.

On a side note, I sound so damn old >.<

Through life (and especially college) you learn to separate your talents into two categories: Careers and hobbies. For me, writing as a career doesn't appeal to me.

if it makes you feel better, i am pretty freaking good at electronics (like wiring and fixing circuit cards) but that is def not going to be my career

Totally unrealistic, but that's the point of the word 'dream', right?

I'll be a video game programmer, preferably at Valve. I'll also do some graphic design and stuff.
In other words, exactly what I do now, except at a higher level of difficulty/reward, and at Valve.
