Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Rickenbacker · 12-09-2009, 01:10 PM

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I’ll put my hands over your eyes, but you’ll peep through

And there’ll be sun sun sun
All over our bodies
And sun sun sun
All down our necks
And sun sun sun
All over our faces
And sun sun sun

So what the heck

I actually can't stand the song, but it was just so apt.

hopefully out of school, post-graduate in program of choice, in a position of decent employment (e.g. $75,000+), and living somewhere i can be happy with. as far as relationships go, i'm not exactly ready to settle down, but i doubt i'll be there in five or ten years either. some stability in that area would be welcome though.

i definitely need to make a clean break from the life i have now, probably going to try to move west after graduation (whether i go onto post-graduate work or not).

I'm hoping to be well involved with a music scene, after I hone my playing and get all of the equipment I need. I don't see myself going to a four year college, I might just break down on the second or third year. To be honest, I'm not one for school, I guess that makes me an idiot.

Either doing/done a degree in Art & Design/Biology, still staying with my parents

with a decent job that would require my degree, and definetly a decent car

Hopefully in a bigger house, or a mental health unit.

The dream: Working as a reporter for a Vancouver paper while doing some freelance writing for other contracts and living in a crappy apartment with a roommate

The most-likely scenario: Working as a forklift driver in a lumberyard and living in a crappy apartment with a roommate.

In five years I'll have graduated from college with some sort of useless degree, I'll have no money and no place to stay. At this point I'll probably hitchhike back to Chicago and enroll in one of our many low-level technical schools to begin a glamorous career in HVAC. I'll probably find a job and be living week to week in a housing project.

That's the reality when you have no ambitions, no desire, and no family to help you out.
