I'm an Electronics Technician, Petty Officer Third Class in the US Navy. My lifelong ambition is to get published.

My ambition's the same as Syl's. I wanna walk into Walden Books or a Barnes & Noble, pick up my own book, and go to the checkout with it one day. I'll be like, "See the picture of the author on the back cover? That's me!!" Yeah, the checkout lady will either think I'm being a weirdo or be rather impressed, but who cares. Might make a good pickup line. And that, my friends, is why I'm writing a novel. Just ammunition for a complex pickup line . . .

You expect her to tell you if she is?

Well I suppose I'm pretty lucky. I'm an archaeologist and I've always wanted to be an archaeologist. As for ambition, I want to get my PhD and profess at some large university capable of funding my extravagant expeditions around the globe.

I'm a commercial lender for a bank. I make business loans to companies who are looking for money. I've made loans as small as $50,000 and as large as $5,000,000. I love my job...I get to be analytical, creative, and I also need to do a good deal of customer entertaining (i.e. golf, skiing, eating etc...)!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
My lifelong ambition is to live a long and healthy life, be a good parent to my soon-to-be-born-child, be a good husband and never to regret anything.
BTW I used to want to play professional basketball.

I'm a Computer Draftsman (CAD) for an Engineering / Land Surveying Company. My life long ambition? To be able to make enough money at writing, recording and performing my music and perhaps one day finish and get some of my fiction published.

Um... well, I'm a sophomore in high school, pretty impressive, eh?
I want to be a plastic surgeon or a neurologist or a psychologist or a writer or a marine biologist. I still have 2 more years to narrow it down but in the meantime I'll probably discover 7 more professions I want to do. But I guess it doesn't really matter what I do as long as I'm not stuck at a desk and I can get out and do stuff and I'm not all by myself.
