5 and 10 year goals?

Where you gon' be in 5 and 10 magne?

Or are you one of those day-by-day, "fly by the seat of your pants" type-a-folks?

 

Five, aerospace engineering job, ten, owning a farm, and a few small businesses.

 

My only 5 year goal is to get out of Vegas. As for 10 years, married, I hope.

 

day-by-day

 

What are you doing to get there if you don't mind me asking?

Metalgypsy... Without trying to seem like I'm picking this apart, cause I'm not, you know you can get out of Vegas pretty quick and relatively cheap right? Seems like you're selling yourself short at 5 years if it's something you really want as bad as it sounds....

 

5 years- have my masters degree and be enrolled in a decent Ph.D. program to get my doctorate in psychology

10 years- not sure yet

 

Are you pretty close to your bachelors or are you planning on pulling double time?

 

i will have my bachelors degree in 2010. ill be in grad school in 2011

 

5- have sex.
10- have sex once more.

 

I want to save up enough money to travel around South East Asia and India (or just live somewhere exotic for a while), do the trip then come home and return to university.

 

Guess I've got you pegged on the quality vs quantity thread too...

For real though....

 

Going to be taking classes\tests\making friends with alumni (joined a lot of alumni forums) to get recommends for the school I want, meantime, making my school app look better any way possible (americorps, classes, alum recommendations, high test scores, etc.)

Plan on going into debt for the school, but part time job through it, I've already started on the course work, so I'll be prepared when I get there.

 

in 5 years i should be a couple years past getting my second bachelor's degree and will hopefully be working in a park or similar setting. i haven't decided exactly what position i want to be in yet; i'm thinking park ranger sounds pretty good for me, but i want to do more research before i make a definite decision.

in 10 years, i don't know... sex?

 

5, have accomplished my diploma, degree, and possibly teacher's college if I fasttrack the rest.

10, be married, be a mother, have done much more travelling, own at least my own apartment, feel happy with self, and have a quality job (even if that is stay at home mama).

 

5 years- I will finished with my bachelors, maybe start a masters, part-time. I'm going into social work/child psychology. Hopefully I'll be a mommy a second time over.

10 years- Have a huge ass house and shitloads of money.

 

Wow, a lot of people going to school. What made you guys pick the majors you did?

 

Of all your goals, the mommy thing sounds easiest... haha

 

liberal arts mostly are preaching.

and I've got a knack for it.

 

5 years I will be on a lifelong spiritual sabbatical on the beaches of South America. Working perhaps 10 hours a week and making more money than I am now.

Also...I want to fall in Love again, if not with another person I want to fall in love with life.

10 years I am going to be a major economic factor in South America. If I have not destroyed the world with my death machine devices.

Always keep your options open.

 

I picked my major because of my neighbors foster daughter. Well, my mothers neighbor. Her father molested and raped her repeatedly and her mother was never in the picture. She has so many problems with people....trusting them and whatnot. I want to be the person that kids like that feel safe to talk to. I want to rescue children in bad sitations....I want them to have some sort of soundness. I know too many kids that are having to deal with way too much for their ages, I think it's wrong and disgusting. I will be a part of that change I want to see....

And, being a mommy is the most fun....but probably not the easiest. Lol. The stress of a 10 page paper pales in comparison to the high pitched scream of a 2 year old with a 'booboo' on her knee. I wouldn't trade it for anything, though.
