What do you want to be when you grow up?
I have spent the past few years having conversations about what, exactly, I and my friends will do when we grow up. When we emerge from the arrested development of study into the wide world, with shiny degrees and heads full of ideas. Given the current climate within British academia, these conversations have taken an increasingly bleak turn of late. But what if we were to concentrate not on what we won't be doing (writing books, travelling the world, talking to fascinating people, digging through exotic archives) and instead collect the outcomes of conversations about what other options exist? What if we compiled every possible alternative future in one place? What do you want to be when you grow up?
