What are your plans?

[Sparkly Weasel]

Once I'm done with High School, I'm skipping college and going straight into the Navy. Spend about 2 years in basic and BUD/S, then I'll be a SEAL and 40k richer. Then I'm spending twenty years in the service (get a degree and a commission after 10) and then figure it out from there.
Only downside I can see is I'm never really going to have time for a lasting relationship or getting married.
Stupid celibacy...

[Nugoo]

Stay in university for as long as I can afford to, then try to get a job making video games.

 

[Larenxis]

This year: Spread knowledge about the Military Commissions Act and hopefully get a strong movement going by December. Also to be in a band that lasts longer than a month, DM a successful campaign, and make a full length movie.

And, you know, get a job, but that hardly matters.

Take over 80% of my town's financial backing in the next 48 years through incremental acquisition of properties and businesses. Once that is achieved, slowly disseminate jobs only to people I know personally. Then invest in green energy for the town, of which will have to be purchased through me. With that backing, buy up stock of utilities providers and slowly cut them out of the market so my "green" option will be the main source. With the financial and social backing I'd have my son run for mayor and change the government to be more compliant with the people's demands, which will actually be my demands. With him in place he can enlist new people into various positions and ultimately have the backing of the police whos' incomes will be supplemented by major donations from me. After that I'll probably be too old with dimentia.

finish my chemistry degree and then......either PHD, get a PCG and go teach, go to work and finally get 1 job game testing so i can say ive done it basically.

@Sequio; I've always had the urge to start a small community that runs on green power but that actually sounds like an interesting way to go about it. Hmm...

Personally, my plans just involve continuing working to support the family I'm starting.

[stompy]

Uh, pass my School Certificate... And HSC... and get into a good university. Then, I'll just bum around till I finish, then bum around some more...

Gee, I'm an interesting person, eh?

 

[Saskwach]

Well I'm doing engineering so I'll become an engineer. I guess? I'm thinking hard about whether I really want to do it though and am considering trying out with the airforce to become a pilot (childhood dream).

[Duck Sandwich]

Finish highschool (1 month left), then hopefully alternate daily between construction work and kickboxing class (having Sundays off), for the next year or so before going to college to try to get a career in either radio broadcasting or voice acting.

I'll also do the obligatory wallowing in despair from all my friends having gone off to college/university/work and there being most likely no chance in hell of me ever seeing them again. Then I'll vent my frustrations through running, situps, punching walls, weight lifting, yelling profanities and of course kickboxing.

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to the year in between college and high school. But hopefully everything will be better once I'm actually in college.

[Yellow Scarf]

I have 1.8 of my 3 life goals accomplished:
1: become a martial arts instructor
2: become a librarian (I'm halfway there)(0.5)
3: become a folk-rock legend (the remaining 0.3)

And I can successfully balance all three of these things. Just about.
Oh, there's something about raising a family in the mix, too, but that's a shared goal, whereas these three are my own.

 

[Necrohydra]

Honestly, I have no clue. Don't you guys make things up as you go along too?

Finished my bachelor's degree, and have a full-time, steady job. Quite frankly, the years in school have been "push push push, all the time", so I think I'd rather not attempt anything major right now. Just work, come home, relax..settle into a normal routine, I guess. Oh, I suppose there's that whole "get married and have a family" thing....

Well I'm doing engineering so I'll become an engineer. I guess? I'm thinking hard about whether I really want to do it though and am considering trying out with the airforce to become a pilot (childhood dream).

Yeah, I got that way around my 3rd year in university. Really started debating if it was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. But I was also in the middle of my deep, seething hatred of school phase. I suppose you can guess the outcome of THAT arguement.

 

[Drugar]

Continue working the IT job I have at the moment, start and finish the study that I'm planning atm (and which will be integrated in my work), then dump this place and start a full time game design education.
Also, marry Alyson Hannigan.

 

[WlknCntrdiction]

1. finish this semester at uni on my web design course.
2. apply for, study and finish the computer animation course im transferring over to cause the web design course aint cutting it for where i want to go or do.
3. finish learning how to drive, strap my parents down so they can actually get the time to come with me to buy a frikkin car.
4. over summer study the book "games testing all in one", learn 3d studio max, silo 2, zbrush, brush up on photoshop, get a work placement somewhere as a beta tester.
5. start computer animation course whilst working at several games companies as a tester.
6. begin my climb up the hierarchial ladder of the games industry until i become a 3d modeler/animator.
7. sidenote - be sure not to get married, have kids or "settle down" before i am earning over £50,000 a year, im serious, and even then im abit skeptical, you dont really need a piece of paper to tell two people that they love each other, if she wants to get married and i dont then it obviously wasnt meant to be.

of course when you set things out like i have they tend to never go to plan, funny how that happens lol.
