Royal Airforce, I presume? Anyway, if that really is your life's ambition you should just pursue it. Almost anything is possible if you try hard enough.the ultimate ambition..... be a Red arrow pilot in the RAF.

2. Graduate work in England, or maybe a semester abroad.
3. Pursue a PhD in biology, write a lovely, if long winded, dissertation and perhaps develop it into a journal article.
4. Write a positively lovely and ultimately boring book.
5. Ideally: Make good money in university level instruction or research.
Realistically: Work as a corporate tool for the best years of my life, essentially as a lab mole with beakers and pipettes.
6. Make money, build clone army, obliterate the most powerful two nations on the planet, and make the world a lovely place for everyone who loves His Majesty Emperor Spencer. Or sometihng like that.
7. See to it that Marie-Reine-du-Monde Cathedrale in Montreal on Boul. Rene-Levesque ends up with a more... humbling name.

Yet, I can't even drive but I can fly a plane solo... best thing is it doesn't cost any money.
I am going to a tank driving experience next spring!
On the monster truck front; I have done my research and when I have a bit of an income and a lot more disposable cash, I know how to get one!
My rollercoaster dream is still a dream though, no chance of that happening anytime soon!

- Get a damn fine degree.
- Get employed in military intelligence. That's where the awesome is at.
- Get a car that costs as much a house in the neighbourhood, then pick a fight with the owner of said house so I can point out that my car is worth more than his house.
- Try as many mind-altering substances as a fortnight in Amsterdam will provide me with.
I'm playing the long game here, you might have noticed. If this place still exists in 20 years I might swing by for an update.

Be careful. Seriously. I went out there this year with 3 of my mates. You need to be in a nice comfortable room if your going to try shrooms and what not, and you need a sitter. That its the most important thing. Try and keep social contact to a minimum and also don’t go outside. It's a bad choice. Especially with trams and bikes and cars blazing around you with no care whether you're in the way or not.
And make sure you get low strength stuff. You will be surprised how strong it is. It's a pile off piss to find. They sell it in vending machines, in tourist shops and all sorts. Out there its as easy to get as buying a pint of milk
Oh, and be careful of the egg noodles

Also, @ Puppeteer: you're only just making your A Level choices? Would that make you only 15 years old? If so, I'm impressed, you come across as much older than that. I recommend English, History and Politics as a good combo. And don't do anything that ends in 'Studies' unless it begins with 'Business'. That's the only real one. Trust me.

No it's not. It's one of the least accepted subjects, and black listed by many "good" universities. But then again it depends what course you want to apply for.
Oh and the reason I say beware of the egg noodles is because my friends managed to convince me that the egg noodles I was eating contained hallucinogens. As a result I became paranoid, keep checking my heart rate, breathing rate and looking at my hand to see if it was swirling or anything odd. It provided them with about an hour of amusement, until I realised they were taking the piss!

Heh, you've got to admit, that's pretty funny. Toying with people's minds while they're tripping is one of the genuine pleasures of this world.

Now that's what I call style- Get a car that costs as much a house in the neighbourhood, then pick a fight with the owner of said house so I can point out that my car is worth more than his house.

I've got History (the Totalitarian Course, the one hardly anyone does at our school) and Further Maths as definite options. Thing is, I have no idea what I want to do when I'm older so I'd like a fine balance between arts and sciences. So I'm stuck now for last 2 options with French, Politics and Chemistry. Possibley English as well.I recommend English, History and Politics as a good combo.

Not anymore. Right-wing christians decided it was immoral to allow folks to mind their own fucking business, so mushrooms are now outlawed. Kids are now going into the woods to find their own, and I suspect the first reports of death by poisoning will be around somewhere next month. Fucking idiots.- Try as many mind-altering substances as a fortnight in Amsterdam will provide me with.

The only way to get mushrooms now is to go up and talk to shady people on streetcorners. You don't want that.
Difficult times, my friends.

- Earn some damned money again. Hoboing is great, but your wallet will hate you.
- Become qualified in something. Doing the odd consultancy is awesome. But it's not permanent.

1. Piss as many religious fanatics off as I can (my school is full of them).
2. Promote my minarchist causes.
3. Read. Write.
4. Get my black belt in Taekwon Do.
5. Improve my Spanish so that I can actually carry on a conversation with all the Mexicans around here.
Long term--
1. Do as little work as possible.
2. Get better grades than everyone else, while doing as little work as possible.
3. Eventually realize that sometime, I will actually have to do some work.
4. Avoid said work.
5. Do as little work as possible.
