He supposes that he will have to do something in the future, maybe simple things, but he doesn´t know for now, he just know one thing: he would rather being wealthy.

ZACH PETERSON
His dreams are doing something related with microbiology, and doing researches to find some cures, for cancer for example. He is fascinated by science and a teacher who taught him a couple of years ago, introduced him into this world. He really likes the idea of work in order to helping people, because he has a grandmother that a cancer is making her dying, and he feels impotent when he have to wait helplessly.

Jana Tran, 17 Photographer
she would like to finish college and has her degrees, has her own business and star taking pictures of people. Then possibly have her own apartment, she doesn't think she will be wealthy but she thinks she will be financially stable because right now it's hard to get a job and having 10 dollars right now it's ok for her, to spend it on clothes and shoes. But what keeps her going is taking pictures and she puts her pictures on flicker

Marvin Villas, 18 Pilot
Being a pilot has ever been his dream , for him it's not really money, it's teh experience of running an airplane, he has to be able to fix it and navigate it. He is not nervous it's basically something that he feels he's going to really work at it

Andrew Benedict-Philipp 17 Undecided
Maybe he's unexcited a little bit about what he's may be doing in the future, he thinks that he can do some cool things in the future he doesn't really know, and he thinks that if there was a button that said "wealthy" or "not wealthy" he would click the "wealthy"
