<p>
I ain’t won nothing yet. Get on it, jackass.</p>
<p>Phase 1: LSAT. Law school essays. Applications. Nervously waiting.</p>
<p>Phase 2: Law School. Tax Bar.</p>
<p>Phase 3: The Bar exam. Biglaw.</p>
<p>Phase 4: Profit.</p>
<ul>
<li>Become an evil criminal mastermind and enslave the world.</li>
<li>Buy new socks</li>
</ul>
<p>All of your life plans suck! So you’re all getting coal in your stockings. And by that I mean you’ll die from lung cancer. :P</p>
<p>This is what I would truly love to do:</p>
<p>Complete my undergraduate degree on time
Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force (or maybe Marine Corps)
Become either a pilot, weapons officer, or UAV operator
Climb the long ladder of ranks
Get my Master’s somewhere (probably one of the military universities)
Keep climbing that ladder
Become at least a Colonel
Retire after 25 years of service and rake in those benefits
Probably get a relatively easy job to pull in some extra money in addition to retirement pay
Enjoy the rest of my life</p>
<p>Throw in getting married somewhere there, as well as having kids. Oh yeah, and I gotta get a dog at some point. A mother****in’ dachshund.</p>
<p>Graduate.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>$$$$$$.</p>
<p>Travel the world. Buy lots of stuff. Write.</p>
<p>Life plans? Ummm <em>shakes magic-8 ball</em></p>
<ol>
<li>Ba in…something (undecided)</li>
<li>Graduate or professional school…in a concentration of my something</li>
<li>Hubby & kids (even number so when we go to amusement parks everyone has a buddy on the roller coasters)</li>
<li>Definitely a dog or two</li>
<li>Work, work, and work some more</li>
<li>Mid-life crisis & complete a few lingering items on the bucket list</li>
<li>Sit on the deck in a rocking chair</li>
<li>Die :p</li>
</ol>
<p>That was originally plan A, but now that the idea of working in Santa’s workshop has been brought up…I need to re-consider.</p>
<ol>
<li>Youngest player to win the Main Event of the World Series of Poker.</li>
</ol>
<p>3 more years to prep.</p>
<p>People with super definite life plans kind of scare me.</p>
<p>I want to travel. And wander. And see the world. </p>
<p>And maybe get a Master’s Degree.</p>
<p>Or maybe get certified to teach English as a foreign language and move to, I don’t know, Taiwan or something, and teach English. </p>
<p>I want to put off the “real” world of corporate America, marriage, and 2.5 kids for as long as possible…Since anything’s possible, I guess that would be forever. </p>
<p>Or maybe I’ll change my mind. </p>
<p>Maybe I’ll join the Peace Corps.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll write novels. </p>
<p>Maybe I’ll live in a hippie van in New Mexico. </p>
<p>I want to live in amazing cities like London and New York, but I want to see every corner of the earth. Not really possible, but, you get the idea. </p>
<p>Maybe I’ll be a rainforest tour guide in Costa Rica.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll learn something about computers and be a web designer, working from wherever in the world I happen to be. </p>
<p>Maybe I’ll grow old living in a cave with only pet monkeys for company.</p>
<p>As you can see, I have no idea what I want to do with my life.</p>
<p>I want to complete my Bachelor’s in Mech Eng, graduate with honors, go to a tip-top grad school, and make a meaningful contribution to the science of engineering, somehow. And, I guess, pick up a PhD along the way. I’d like scholarships ultimately to pay off my undergraduate loans, and a assistantship or fellowship at Berkeley or Stanford. I’m a West Coast kinda guy.</p>
<p>After that, I want either to own a bike shop somewhere close to some great trail riding, selling my own line of mountain bikes, or become a successful syndicated strip cartoonist/graphic novelist.</p>
<p>Both would be nice.</p>
<p>I really don’t want to be employed by someone else in the classical sense. Nor do I really even want to work as an engineer.</p>
<p>I’d like to live in San Francisco, Portland, Central Oregon, Colorado, Montana, or Seattle.</p>
<p>As far as personal life goes? Hey, if I meet the right person, awesome. If not, I’m not worried about it. It’s a distant, distant priority.</p>
<p>But if all that doesn’t work out, fack it! What happens, happens.</p>
<p>Complete my undergraduate degree
Attend graduate school (maybe law, keeping all options open)
Become in the work force, pursue my dream job(s)
Live in one of my favorite cities with a nice high rise condo
More importantly, travel and explore the world, always enjoying myself/ being happy, would like to make six figures.</p>

Die</p>
<p>As you can see I have a lot figured out already!</p>
<p>Seriously, some potential options include: peace corps, teach for america, military, community organizer, archeologist, high school teacher, and president.</p>
<p>Heres an ideal:
Stanford undergrad (already accepted, check)
Harvard med
General physician
Surgeon General of state
Governor
President of United States</p>
<p>I hope I’m not aiming too high ;)</p>
<p>-graduate from undergrad with a degree in something I’m genuinely interested in, with a good GPA.</p>
<p>-be recruited at a top investment bank straight from undergrad (my mom works at one, so this should be more doable than for most) and work there for a back-breaking ~3 years hopefully without getting burnt out.</p>
<p>-get MBA at a top business school</p>
<p>-idk what happens after that, but either advance further in the previous company, do my own thing etc, although ideally staying in NYC (my home town). Whatever it is, it has to be interesting, involve problem solving, dynamic workdays etc, no cubicle jobs for me.</p>
<p>-hopefully get married/settled down at some point along the way (kids, apartment, etc).</p>
<p>just one of many possible paths my life could take.</p>
<p>1) transfer to usc/ucla/ucb
2) become a commissioned officer in the U.S. army and continue drilling with the national guard
3) obtain a degree in sociology with an emphasis on criminal justice/behavior
4) complete police academy
5) complete FBI academy
6) obtain a masters in sociology
7) reach the rank of colonel/general
8) find the love of my life</p>
