If we're giving more than just age:
I haven't had a job yet. I have been driving fairly far daily for two years. I'm going to the University of Oklahoma starting August 16 on a National Merit Scholarship that covers nearly everything for 4 years and tuition for 5 years, with $1500 cash when I show up and $1500 if I study abroad. I'll be studying aerospace engineering, maybe minor in computer science. I have had my one and only girlfriend for about 992 days. (around 2.75yrs) Somewhat due to life situations, it's not always easy but I'd like to make it last much much longer. I love her for her personality, her looks are just a bonus. ;) We're used to time apart, but the next year will be very trying if I don't see her more than a few times.
Other than that I'm not too nervous about going to college. The staff are great, I can tell I'll be more than a number to the school, campus is not too big, all the right amenities, little worry about workload or money at this point. The only thing is that my Monday schedule is PACKED with no breaks, gotta find time to shove some food in me. Tuesdays and Thursdays are virtually empty. Overall, it'll be less course hours than standard. (combination of AP credit, deferring courses, and filling in gaps)

Pushing 21 in a couple of months.

Izack is younger than me? I always assume that you're nearing 25 something :lol:

will be 22 at the end of next month, have been legal for a whisky since a year ago, and still hasn't bought it because of budget constraint (I'm living far away from my parents and still in school) well hopefully seeing what my current education is, I'll be independent by 29 (yeah a long time, you don't get money from being an intern or a resident in Indonesian Hospitals, you even still pay for admission and tuition). The Mission is to find a girlfriend quick enough, who doesn't mind an unproductive dude until he gets his specialist title, and can only marry after 30.

I'm 19 soon to be 20 on July 24th! I'm currently going to a university, working on a bachelor's of science in computer information systems. Been on this forum since 2010, but a huge fan of orbiter way before then. I've been enjoying orbiter since the 2005 version.

29. Broke artist. Still feel 18, no interest in settling down.

Been cruising in my DG, nodding my head to the music since '08.

33, with army service (but I missed Kosovo by a few days, only combat experience against German teenagers), not married, but also not really planning to do so, no children I know of. Software developer for CAE software. Working in engineering and metrology for quite a while now, mostly aerospace in the past, automotive lately.

Orbiting since late 2003.

I'm 22 years old.
Just graduated university in steel construction engineering.
Almost two years in rocket engineering (it's just my hobby). i very like to calculate launch vehicles and propulsion systems. Now I've been preparing one huge rocket project that I'm gonna post and share with you here in "backyard rocketry" topic later.

I've been orbiting the Sun for 4.661e8 seconds. (14 years and 9 months for those who don't think in hundreds of megaseconds ;))

Why just tell the age? It's like judging a book by it's thickness.
Look away from the screen, and look at the people and objects around you at this time. Get a good feel for the moment's scenery and melody.
That's where your story is at now.

What is it like?
How did you get there, to this moment in life, and how do you feel about it?
Where do you think your life is going? What new things are getting in, what old stuff is getting out?


25 years, wandering around the world and between domains of knowledge, looking for understanding that can improve this world (and make me rich or omnipotent).
Been in love for the last 10 years, but it didn't work out and the Venus transit on june 4th was the last thing we seen together.
The job is fun, the trip to and from the place i work at is wearisomely long.
Contemplating whether to take a trip to antarctica this winter, or get a pilot's license. The price tag is similar, but for the latter i'll still have to buy a plane and fight the laws to get into the air.
Then again, i'll be defending the PhD this fall, and after that there would be enough opportunities to multiply the income enough for both.

I'm 18, and I've been orbiting since I was 15, but playing Flight Simulator since I was about 11.

I've applied to study physics and astronomy starting October of this year, with my first choice university being Durham (in the north), and second choice being Lancaster (near Manchester).

As for what I want to do with my life - I don't have any solid plans. I'd love to become a commercial pilot, if I can find an airline to sponsor me, but I'd equally like to work for NASA, ESA, etc... - heck I'd even move to China if that was where the space scene was at. I'm also really enjoying computers and programming, so maybe I'll take that route.
One thing that I know I want to do is travel and see the world (I'll be doing a bit of that in the summer), and I'd also like to work abroad some time, probably because the UK is so small compared to the rest of the world.

I suppose things will start to kick off a bit more when I get to university.

Just 29 years old. Yes there is a small inconsistency with what is displayed on my profile. Hoping to be young enough to see a Mars manned landing. Trying to get a teacher job but thats not easy, especially the oral exams. Learning C++ on the pile. Like sailing, swimming, hiking, playing tennis. Not a big fan of running. Other interests : reading, everything that flies, theater, history, geography, geopolitics, philosophy, psychology, camping, travels (especially when it means a ride on a plane)... I'd like to take gliding lessons, will be high in my priorities when I'll get a steady job. And who knows, maybe one day a private pilot license if I'm not too old at this point.

Edit : oh and I forgot music. Playing the guitar and giving lessons for living.
