<p>Mine is to become a firefighter.
Just kidding. As I'm 18 years old, preparing to go to college, and will be soon picking my major and whatnot, I've been thinking about this a lot. This is a serious question, and I'm really eager to hear about everyone's.
My aspiration is to study International Relations/Political Science and become a U.S. diplomat or a foreign affairs official abroad. Then I want to come back and work for the government and become the Secretary of State.
If all fails, my back-up plan would be to marry rich or sell drugs.
What about you???</p>
<p>Good topic!</p>
<p>I’ve gone through many different “plans” and knowing myself, it would be delusional of me to assume this is definitely “it.” But for quite a while now I’ve planned to earn bachelors in both psychology and nursing (this is possible because I’d be mostly done with my psych coursework before I could enter nursing school anyway). I’m not sure yet what my nursing specialty will be, but I love the profession. I’ll also do some work in music (lyricist mostly) on the side.</p>
<p>My aspiration is to become a scholar of comparative literature, and revolutionize the discipline from the inside and the outside.
If that fails, I will continue to serve Uncle Sam as an Army officer until I become either a mentally perverted FBI, CIA agent, or a brigadier general(I don’t really ask for much).
If all fails, then I will go to France and serve in foreign legion.</p>
<p>Revolutionize energy and solve global warming/cancer with bionanotech and synthetic biology.
No, I’m not kidding.</p>
<p>next Hilary Clinton.</p>
<p>Well, right now? Finish finals in one piece.</p>
<p>Once finals are over: finish undergrad with good grades, hopefully graduate a year early, go to law school, become a tax and bankruptcy lawyer. If that fails, I can always be a consultant.</p>
<p>Write. Write write write write write.</p>
<p>Foreign affairs also interest me.</p>
<p>Make lots of money by taking on Buffet and Graham’s legacy and live humbly. Then retire.</p>
<p>Get rich. Have nice stuff. The end.</p>
<p>=]</p>
<p>I just don’t understand people whose sole goal of their lives is to get rich. Sure, money can buy nice stuff, even people, but does it really make everyone happy at the end?</p>
<p>My aspiration is to major in English, then go to graduate school and become a librarian.
I love books, so I think it’s the perfect job for me.
Well, after writing fiction, but that’s a bit unrealistic…</p>
<p>Have enough financial security to be able to do everything I want to do (which is more than just one, distinct goal).</p>
<p>If I <em>have</em> to just pick one, all-encompassing ambition, then it would be to be happy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Of course not. Money can’t buy happiness. But it helps a whole lot. At least this is how it seems to me, who can’t even afford to have a cell phone. </p>
<p>Anyways, my dream and what is realistic is in two different worlds. I want to go to University of Cambridge since like six. And that’s just nothing but a fairy tale.</p>
<p>If I could do something that somehow allowed me to express my opinions, change something about the American Ideal, and make a decent amount of living off of it (at least enough to afford living in a city centre), then I’ll be happy.</p>
<p>I’m realistic, I want to have enough money to buy all that I want and need and yet make a difference… scientist prolly and invent something cool and earn money of it… or a scientist who win the powerball</p>
<p>My dream is to become a great crocodile hunter.</p>
<p>bone *****es</p>
<p>Travel to every single country. Ok probably not possible but I want to travel the world and see as much as I can.</p>
<p>become a major league baseball General Manager
live in the DC Metro area until I am in my 30s
raise a family outside of charlotte, north carolina
all my children will go to Wake Forest University
run for Senate in NC or become a philanthropist
travel</p>
<p>To become a human rights lawyer and work for Human Rights First, Amnesty International…you name it. And the UN High commissioner for HR wouldn’t be bad either:)</p>
