And, Blacula has it. All the places I wanted to go were gone by the time I got to pick (we were chosen randomly), so I took the company that paid the highest wage. Even if turns out to be a horrible worksite it's only for 6 months.
Just so you know they are all big companies involved in bitumen extraction here in the Alberta oil sands.

Filmmaking - I actually studied this a few years ago (at the New York Film Academy - DO NOT go there!). Loved the creativity and camaraderie of the industry. Wasn't so keen on the lack of money or opportunities without connections.
Town Planning - This is a field I've become very interested in, mainly because the city I live in at the moment (Perth) seems to have put zero forethought into how to develop this city for the future, but no, I won't be pursuing a degree in it.

Asian Business Studies - I was trying to think of subjects to pad out my list with and remembered that this was one of the courses on my list of University preferences when I did my first degree many years ago. I have no idea why as I don't have much interest in Asia (other than as a short holiday destination) or Business Studies so it was lucky I got into one of my first choices.

Primary School Teaching - I have a lot of friends in this field but I am not much of a children-person and can think of few things worse than being surrounded by them all day. So no, I won't be studying Primary School Teaching.
Journalism - When I did my first degree (Communications) I chose a lot of (print) Journalism units and greatly enjoyed them - especially the editing/newsroom side. I could've seen myself becoming a newspaper journalist/editor but life took me down a different path after graduation.
So here's what's left -
1. Photography 2. Town Planning 3. Primary School Teaching 4. Law 5. Medicine 6. Journalism 7. Filmmaking 8. Asian Business Studies 9. Acting 10. Comic Book Writing

Medicine - I don't think I could handle the blood.
Law - is CORRECT! Some background info re: me - I come from a family of lawyers. Dad. Brother. Sister. Uncle. Two Cousins. Needless to say, when I was at school I wanted to be *anything* but a lawyer when I grew up. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future. I got a job working for an anti-corruption organisation and through them got to work with different Attorney General's offices and other legal organisations around the world. And to my great surprise - I found I really liked it! So after my flirtation with filmmaking didn't work out I decided I'd focus on a field that I was interested in *and* already had a lot of connections within. So Law it is.
Your question dedman.
