Re: So, what does everybody 'do' here?

I'm a (just-turned) 19 years old Singaporean in my 2nd year of
studying for a diploma in IT. I went to junior college for half a year
when I was 16-17 but decided that I didn't want to waste my time
studying economics and general paper, though I really miss learning
mathematics at a much more advanced level than what is taught in my
diploma right now...

One and a half year later, I will have completed the course and will
be liable to serve in the army for two years, no thanks to my
country's government =( I just hope I will be posted to a
technological department so that I can still at least continue to
pursue my interest during the two years of impending boredom.

Further on, I hope I will have become the next Bill Gates/Mark
Zuckerberg (fat hope lol) and be accepted into the Singapore branch of
the America's Digipen Institute of Technology to study game-making and
animation.

When I'm 30 years old or so, I may study for a degree and Ph.D in
mathematics, neuroscience, physics or computer science. The performing
arts interest me too, especially the complexity of the music pieces
the piano can produce. Most importantly, I will hopefully have enough
money by then to found an organization which aim is to provide
education, with an emphasis on morality and character development, to
as many people in the world as possible. It includes overthrowing
education systems that churn out workers or employers with all
knowledge and no morality.
