<p>Be happy....</p>
<p>Peace corps then grad school.</p>
<p>Make money at whatever job I can find. Someday: investigate aircraft accidents.</p>
<p>Move into a dingy apartment in New York or Chicago and be a starving artist while I try to break into the art restoration profession. My ultimate goal is to restore Michelangelo's work in Italy.</p>
<p>Become an investment banker.</p>
<p>Work a few years, then Law School. Lastly, I want to become a teacher at any level. I want to teach people stuff and take tests. LOL. Later SOMEDAY I also want to win the Nobel Peace and Economics Prize. lol</p>
<p>I want to write a book too.</p>
<p>maybe work as a certified public accountant or become an FBI agent</p>
<p>I have three viable options:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Get into Harvard or Columbia Law School. Graduate valedictorian. Pass the NYS Bar. Work as a Corporate Lawyer for Watchell or Cravath making $250k per year. Get fed up with corporate law and become a venture capitalist. Make $500k.</p></li>

<li><p>Become an investment banker. Work 100hrs/wk for two years. Get my MBA at Wharton. Go back to investment banking. Make $250k for two years. Get fed up with banking and become a venture capitalist. Make $500k.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Money, money money and money!!!!!! :) Eventually make Forbes 400.</p>
<p>I have four options after I graduate:</p>
<ol>
<li>Train to be a Navy SEAL</li>
<li>Train to be an Army Green Beret</li>
<li>Train to become a Force Recon Marine
and finally</li>
<li>Sail... work 6 months out of the year, seeing the world, earning over $100k as a starting salary straight out of college (no post-grad) and getting even more as I progress further. And doing whatever I want the other 6 months.</li>
</ol>

i want to be happy too</p>
<p>Get my Masters in Vocal Performance, then move to London, Paris or another European city. Get a resident chorus position at a well respected opera company, and then move up to leading roles. I'll get my doctorate, and then retire to teach at a university.</p>
<p>Why United Airlines? Only God knows when they're going to go bankrupt again. I suggest Singapore Airlines or British Airways. :)</p>
<p>I like United, but I guess it doesn't matter. or whoever has the nicest uniforms.</p>
<p>Teach elementary school and eventually after getting a Masters and PhD, go into educational policy and eventually be the superintendent of a district.</p>
<p>I want to be an actress,playwrite,singer, songwriter for some big record company like BMG, and choreograph. Ino, alot huh..well...i've worked my *ss off so hopefully it'll come true.</p>
<p>Option #4 seems like a pretty sweet deal, k314sig09! What kind of sailing are you talking about?</p>
<p>get my phd in mathematics (proof theory), publish a few interesting things and proceed sit around and think for the rest of my life? sounds like a plan to me.</p>
<p>i can say that venture capitalism isnt for me. nothing like being named in a federal protected monopoly lawsuit while in high school to show you the bad side of that field.</p>
<p>i want to get married and have kids.</p>
<p>Commercial Sailing, big ships... I hope to be working on LNG tanker (Liquid Natural Gas) Those are pretty much the most lucrative option out there, not a lot of highly trained officers to work on them and a growing demand for them. I hear Exxon-Mobil is making 50 new tankers within the next few years, so thats a good sign.</p>
