I'd like to be a pilot in future because I enjoy travelling, enjoy being in the sky and watching exciting views.

Heh, I will be a genetic engineer. I would like to find new animal species and to help people. But privately, I will open a teaching program where I will teach some kids how to speak English. And finally, I would like to be a famous blogger, who would speak about problems people have, and to help people to understand that they can live a better life.
