Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I'd like to believe not all of you are socially awkward NEETs living off what your parents fork over in an attempt to help what you called "get back in your feet" so you finally get out of the basement after thirty years.

So what do you guys do?

Do you like it? Would you rather do something else? Do you have a degree? On what?
What's your dream job? Will you be doing it in the future?

Summin that I like. Cheers.
Also what the fuck is that picture while I'm at it

Some show from adult swim or something.

I think i'd like to either go into animation or forensic investigation, depending on how the next 2 or so years play out.

What if you had to pick between both?
I once thought about going into forensics too, sounds cool.

I'm about to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice.

I actually liked to study them after a BDeadSM session.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering.

Currently getting my Master's degree in the same field. I'm hoping to graduate somewhere in 2015.

It's a toss-up between the two for me. Forensics is rad as fuck, but it takes a lot of paperwork and it must be stressful to have the outcome of a case in your hands. Animation is a hobby of mine that I enjoy, but it's very competitive and i'd probably wind up tweening in a windowless room every day for however long it would take to get a promotion that isn't shitty.

If I get a chance to make a career in blood spatter analysis specifically then i'm going with that, but I'd love to do some animation with my artsy gal pal and see where that goes.

I'm a worthless human being and my greatest dream is to work in a record shop and make just enough to afford comfortably living alone in a small apartment until I eventually die.

Isn't making fun of people for living with parents kind of an antiquated notion now?

You can't earn a decent living in this country anymore, so what are people supposed to do?

Kill and steal, obviously.

Mechanical Engineering and Physics (Double Major).

In other words: railguns n' shit

Mathematics, going for doctorate. In other words; numbers 'n shit

A life of dastardly crime and villainy.

I always wondered what it would be like to like maths let alone love it and make a living out of it.

I'm sorry to say you'll never get to use the phrase "it's not rocket science".
That's really cool, I never thought someone here in NG did something like that.
So you're preparing to design spaceships?

I'll go ahead and put in my two cents in case you want them. Animating seems really frustrating. If you're not really good and really original I doubt you can make it for real, and you'll be stuck forever in that windowless room you said. You could even stop enjoying your hobby, which would suck major dick.
I guess in forensics you always get cases, solve cases, put bad guys in jail, etc. It sounds interesting, plus your pussy game ridiculous.
I don't know I just feel it sounds more safe and steady and interesting.
I get what you mean in that outcome of the case, I'll be in a similar situation for real in a not so distant future. But you'll be good at it, they'll train you well, and I'm sure people a lot more dumb than you are doing it and well. I wouldn't be afraid of blowing a case in your scenario.

I heard the Dexter finale was really bad.

Sometimes I wish I could strive for that, I mean, you'll settle for that, and all you have ahead is discovering music and pulling indie pussy and collecting vinyl. If you ever happen to make this happen, I'll be your bro and listen to stuff you recommend and buy shit music because of your shit taste at your shit record shop.

Looks pretty good. Do these come up in magazines or online? Maybe I've seen your work and don't know it.

I don't know which country you're refering to specifically so I just made fun of everyone.

I'm an erotic dancer and SAT prep tutor.

Probably the United States, with its 36.2% labor non-participation rate, ~23% real unemployment, and 7.3% calculated unemployment. Even with that high unemployment and labor non-participation, you'll find that the employed folks spend most of their time not working while they're on the clock because of advances in technology. There are very few hard workers in the first world.

I wouldn't be shocked to discover that most of the people on this forum are posting from their smart phones at work.

i have been studying japanese for about 2 and a half years, I'm almost fluent in it, I'm also studying mandarin chinese now. i have an interest in languages and i want to learn many of them. however i also have many other interests, and i'm not sure what i want to do for a living, i've always been a negligent student and my grades are bad, i just finished my high school exams but i'm not sure if i will be accepted into any university.
i've also been getting into poker recently, so making a living through that and other types of gambling seems appealing.

I'm planning to major in biology or chemistry to pursue a dream of pharmacy.

2nd year of my physics degree atm, not sure at all what I want to do in the future

The work I do for money no, it's corporate design that only really exists within the business world. Personally though, I post a lot of my side-projects online on my tumblr. Here's an example:
