Lighten up- Tell me your dreams and how you see your future!

<p>I know a lot of us are stressed out, but I am interested in all of YOU wonderful people. I want you guys to tell me your post-college plans and dreams. Have fun, enjoy it, and look through for a feel good!</p>

<p>I don’t dream. I just DO.</p>

<p>What I’m trying to say is…I have no idea what’s going to happen in my future.</p>

<p>rabbits</p>

<p>I want to live a life that will make both myself and my family proud. </p>

<p>ugh I feel like this should have been made after AP exams. but turtles o_o</p>

<p>Haha sorry @DaneBrick‌
@preamble1776 I love how you are being very practical :slight_smile: good on ya!</p>

<p>I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I’m not meant to be a very ambitious person. I suck at competition and I’m happier when I’m not being pressured to accomplish things. I want to have a relatively simple life, one where I have time to just wander around and read books and think about stuff like I do now. I don’t care if I make a lot of money, but I hope I never actually suffer from the lack of it. I want to be a math teacher, either at a high school or a community college/LAC (because I’m probably not smart enough to do math research as part of my career). I want to grow my hair down to the floor and I hope I don’t die until I’m old. :)</p>

<p>I have more pre-college goals than post. I want to raise my class rank to possibly get salutatorian by senior year. (I’m a sophomore and I’m #5 in my class.) I also want to be able to go to the Intel ISEF at least once. After college, I’m planning to become a biological researcher.</p>

<p>Cool! Good for you @awakeningvenus</p>

<p>One day I want to be a chemical engineer working for a green energy type company doing research. I want to live in New Mexico in a cute little adobe house outside Santa Fe. I want to be able to speak 5 or 6 languages and have lots of free time to be outside. I also want to adopt kids. When I retire, I want to open a tiny ice cream shop and maybe be a foster parent. And travel, travel to every continent and travel every couple of months. Its my little fairytale, life probably won’t work out like that, but I can hope.</p>

<p>@withoutausername i think that sounds great :)</p>

<p>Before, my plans entailed earning a doctorate degree and (hopefully) becoming a researcher/ professor in the field of Biochemistry. Then, due to the terrible job prospects and my changing interests, I decided that I want to major in Chemical Engineering (hopefully at the U of M twin cities) and later go on to a job in the industry or maybe grad school first, I’m not sure on that yet. I read that often people in engineering fields have a job lined up before graduation, so if that happens, I’ll take the job; if not, I’ll go to grad school. Let the fun begin!</p>

<p>@kitten23 good luck and well wishes coming your way!</p>

<p>I want to graduate with 3.7+ GPA in bioengineering and then go to work in the field hopefully. Write and publish novels. Marry and have (birth scares me…) or adopt kids. And GET A DOG OF MY OWN.</p>

<p>I want to get an awesome computer engineering or materials engineering job in California (been east coast all my life) and I’m going to the right school for it next year (Carnegie Mellon). I want to be happy and comfortable and have a little family and a nice laboratory/coding/hardware job and it will be sunny always.</p>

<p>I’ll hopefully go to an ivy-tier school, and I’ll likely study stats or economics. If professional poker playing doesn’t work out, I’ll look to a finance career.</p>

<p>I want to go into consulting, preferably at MBB, travel the country, and then get my MBA at one of HSW.</p>

<p>After that, we’ll see.</p>

<p>Thinking about what a waste of time high school was. Hopefully I found something that’s both employable and I don’t hate it. </p>

<p>@bodangles That is really cool! good luck to you!</p>

<p>@yayitsme123 Good luck and well wishes to you!</p>
