TC, I worked as a sports writer for our university newspaper for about one week, a little over a month ago. And... I learned that I was completely off the mark in terms of what I was expecting. I quit not long after.

Let me say this: If you really want to be a sports writer, you have to be willing to let your heart break every so often.

:P I'm with you on this! I cant say I dreamed of being a Customs Compliance Specialist when growing up, but thats where my career path led me. I still refuse to mentally grow up, however, and will still be playing MLBPP and other video games as long as my fingers still work. Much to my wifes dismay...

I want to be an Alaskna crab fisherman. Ever seen Deadliest Catch? That's what i want to do. Deadliest job on earth. Lose a man a week and a ship a year on average. Big, Big $$$ in it for those who catch the most crab. I do want a college degree, and as far as i know, you can't get a degree in that, so i want to be an athletic trainer (think beach volleyball :mrgreen: )kidding

i do actually want to get a degree in that though. I'm only in 8th, so it could (and probably will) change.

yeah, i'm also in 8th, so i have time to prepare for football tryouts in high school.
hoping by that time, my growth spurt will have finished, though i've been told it just started...

I wanted to be an engineer just like my father, so that is what I became! (and not the type that drives the train) I knew it since I was in the 7th/8th grade. I used to love to play on my dad's 286 computer with 64k of RAM, and 512k hard drive. I would hack this text based basketball game to make players like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. It was a lot of fun. So what I am today is a controls lead engineer respsonsible for developing algorithms and software to run a natural gas fueled engine.

While, yes, you are catching the crab for the purpose of killing and eating them, the fisherman don't do it. The stay alive in a holding tank and are sold to distributors in Alaska. If the fisherman killed the crab on the boat, they would go bad quickly.
Edit: Here's the wiki page about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_king_crab_fishing
