Hey Whyville. Bankacc here. I'm very interested in what other people want to do with their lives. I always ask people, randomly, "So hey, what do you want to be when you are older?" Most of the time I hear a professional sports player of some sort from the guys, and the girls are usually different.

But anyway, what better thing to do than ask our fellow Whyvillians about what they want to be when they are older? Maybe these interviews will inspire you to choose what you want to be!

First, I interviewed moo6776:

bankacc: How old are you?
moo6776: I am 13.
bankacc: What do you want to be when you are older?
moo6776: I want to be a veternarian.
bankacc: If you don't mind, say if you do, what college do you want to go to?
moo6776: I want to go to Boston college.
bankacc: When did you decide you were going to do this, your job?
moo6776: I decided when I was 10.
bankacc: What, or who, inspired you to want to do this?
moo6776: My dad always told me to follow my heart.
bankacc: Any last comments on your "future job"?
moo6776: You have to work hard but in the end it is rewarding.
bankacc: That's the spirit! Thanks a bunch!

Then, I went to BmXBoy0:

bankacc: How old are you?
BmXBoy0: I'm 14.
bankacc: What do you want to be when you are older?
BmXBoy0: I want to be a lawyer when I'm older.
bankacc: If you don't mind, say if you do, what college do you want to go to?
BmXBoy0: I want to go to Harvard.
bankacc: When did you decide you were going to do this, your job?
BmXBoy0: I decided I wanted to do this when I was 9 years old.
bankacc: What, or who, inspired you to want to do this?
BmXBoy0: One day my parents went to buy a couch that they saw in a newspaper ad and we went in this person's large house and I had a small house. My parents said if I get a good job I can have a house that is big so I decided to become a lawyer because they earn big bucks.
bankacc: Any last comments on your "future job"?
BmXBoy0: I hope this job isn't really boring though. LoL.
bankacc: I hope it isn't either! Thanks!

Next, I interviewed Sam77777:

bankacc: How old are you?
Sam77777: I'm 13 years old.
bankacc: What do you want to be when you are older?
Sam77777: When I'm older I would like to an Anthropologist. An anthropologist is a scientist who studies the origin, the behavior, and physical, social, and cultural developments of humans.
bankacc: If you don't mind, say if you do, what college do you want to go to?
Sam77777: Either New York State or Ohio State.
bankacc: When did you decide you were going to do this, your job?
Sam77777: Last year.
bankacc: What, or who, inspired you to want to do this?
Sam77777: The person who inspired me to become an Anthropologist was Kathy Reichs, the woman who writes the books that inspire the show Bones on FOX.
bankacc: Any last comments on your "future job"?
Sam77777: I have learned that to be able to become and Anthropologist I have to go to many years of school, but I think I can take it!
bankacc: I bet you can too! Gracias! LoL.

I moved on over to Usher0093:

bankacc: How old are you?
Usher0093: I'm 13.
bankacc: What do you want to be when you are older?
Usher0093: When I am older I would like to work with younger kids. Maybe at a school or a daycare.
bankacc: If you don't mind, say if you do, what college do you want to go to?
Usher0093: Conneticut.
bankacc: When did you decide you were going to do this, your job?
Usher0093: When I was like, 10.
bankacc: What, or who, inspired you to want to do this?
Usher0093: My mom is a teacher and I go in to her classrooms sometimes and I just love it.
bankacc: Any last comments on your "future job"?
Usher0093: I think working with little kids will be a lot of fun.
bankacc: I think it will be too. Thanks.

wrldcup06: Nope.
bankacc: Thanks! P.S. I can see you really want to be one, 'cause of your Whyville username! LoL!

Hey, if you all don't mind, maybe I can answer my own questions! Well first off, I'm 12 years old. I want to be a novelist, columnist, or an anchorwoman when I am older. I am actually not very sure of what college I want to go to, maybe Tampa Bay University, where my sister went, I'm not 100 percent sure yet. I decided I wanted to do this this year as a matter of fact. Last school year I was on the school news show and that brought my hopes up for being a anchorwoman. When I went to New York City, I saw the hosts of Good Morning America on that giant TV screen in Times Square, I really want to be on that show! That was what inspired me. For writing, well, I love to read and write about anything, so I pretty much inspire myself, I guess you can put it that way.

Once agian, thank you guys and girls for letting me interview you. I enjoyed myself a lot! Readers, if my five, well six, interviews didnt help you . . . well sorry. But at least we know our fellow Whyvillians know what they want to have ahead of them! I sure hope you do too! Well, sooner or later. Remember, stay in school! If you don't suceed, try and try agian! Who knows, maybe you will be a famous person that goes down in world history! For a good cause, I hope.
