Title: Where Do You See Yourself In 5-10 Years Time?
Steveo - October 7, 2005 09:00 AM (GMT)
I can see myself graduating (eventually) and starting in a Finance job, I may do my professionals for law if I like it enough. Depends really. I'm planning to purchase a house straight out of uni :D (thats if I save enough to pay off the student loan!)

I can see myself making da boom-booms with your wife...
Will probably end up working in a cubicle as a code monkey. Or teaching Physics (thermodynamics = boom). Am happy living in an apartment, surrounded by beautiful women (maniac?).
Marraige/kids sometime after 27.

Wow this is a good one.
I certainly do not see myself living in the UK, definately in 10 years time, probably 5 years time. Married hopefully in 10 years. 5 years...i'll be travelling or working in some obscure country doing development work. I'll be rich though cos i'll be going out with a rich man :-P
or maybe in 5 years ill be doing a phd. but not in 10 years. maybe kids in 10 years, ehh thats a scary thought. of course by then ill have travelled the world/skiied the world ya di ya da.
i dont really know to be honest. just going to see what opportunities come up, what feels right and who i meet. im gonna go with the flow (but not live in the UK!)

I see myself employed in Foreign Affairs, having got to grips with rapid language learning etcetera, and working my way up to a consulate posting somewhere really interesting.
Or remaining at university forever, as a scruffy, eccentric yet well loved history tutor/professor.
No bets on which I would rather choose...

i see myself with one man, and having an affair with another. i will be having my second abortion. i will be a chainsmoker, and trying to get my novel published/band signed. i will have several tatoos. i will have my BA.
but really, thats probably just wishful thinking. as i dont ever see myself ever having a nondysfunctional/any kind of relationship, il probably be single, living in a small apartment furnished simply but with beautiful, beautiful things, and be writing, and doing something in media, and maybe even start my own line of handmade things- you guys didnt know i was fantastic at stuff like that, didya? DIDYA???
i will be a demi-hippy-demi-goff-demi-pirate-demi-nism.
id like to own my own Lush, too.

I see myself staying in the country and working as a civil engineer 'til retirement. It is a patriot's duty to make his country a better place. We need more developments, better infrastructure and more industry. HAIL!
After getting a job, my ultimate goal would be to scale the social ladder, I must move into the middle class. At first, I must have a Mercedes Benz car by the age of 30, then a house by 35 and so forth...

Being a washed-up hockey player that probably coaches, living a lonely life, his only friend being a bottle of whiskey...........

That's probably impractical, I suppose I'll have to take up two jobs in order to afford that. If I can't buy a Mercedes than I may have to settle for a Hong Qi (the most luxurious car from Asia).

In order to have a luxury car before a place to live, I don't think my parents would mind if I don't move out and continue not to pay the rent. Hehe.
Synopsis - October 8, 2005 09:22 AM (GMT)
In five years: After getting experience as a code monkey and finding out my niche in the IT sector, I'll be considering going back to uni for a Masters. I'd like to have a significant other but I probably won't.
In ten years: After the Sargons destroy Earths major cities, I'll be eking a meagre existence up in the backcountry trying to avoid the slave pits and cursing humanity for blindly broadcasting its existence into the ether, drawing them to us.

Well I had to call them *something* "Hypothetical Alien Invaders" didn't scan.
Adolf Chiang - October 8, 2005 09:53 AM (GMT)
If the 'Sargons' didn't come, what would you be doing then?
sdr - October 8, 2005 10:41 PM (GMT)
In 10 years? Amoungst living a typical white, middle-class, christian, family life I'll probably still be lurking forums like this - if I'm not rotting or incinerated.

Paying too much tax, that's what I would be doing!!! *sighs* Time to get me a real good accountant!

Where do I see myself in five years time?
Halfway through my ten-year plan.

You are not fooling anybody. You see yourself as Emperor of the Australasian Empire, its borders spread from Aus and NZ right through to the fringes of South East Asia. It will be one of the four world superpowers including the US, EU and China. Your power will be consolidated by the love of hundres of millions of patriots that you inspire. "It is a patriot's duty to make his country a better place. We need more developments, better infrastructure and more industry. HAIL!"
(wtf ask me that question in the other forum lest this thread be badly derailed)
Adolf Chiang - October 9, 2005 09:19 AM (GMT)
Emperor? I am not entirely convinced of republicanism, so the only monarches of this country would be those of Britain. I rather have a meaningful career as a civil engineer than some lying politician. We all have our fantasies, but I rather face reality. There is no way I'm going to end up a dictator.

You will then join forces with the leader of China in waging the Third World War, fought against the EU and US. The technological developments made during this war will allow humans to beging populating outer space. You will then find an alien planet and wage war against them too. You will be the most important historical figure in the Universe.

Hmmm, the future, that's a funny concept......denial, denial, don't want to face.........the.....future.....argh!
No, seriously.
I had planned on finding my life partner by the time i was 25 (2 years away), have a few years of marital bliss, then have kids by 30 (7 years away). But who the fuck knows.
In five-ten years time i'm going to be famous. I'll either be on TV screens here or movie screens from London to New York, you'll read about me in the gossip mags and you'll say, "shit, i knew that chick once, she was a dick", or whatever.
Fuck, i can hardly think past tommorrow for godsakes! ^^But that is the ultimate dream of mine.

Hmm, you have an over active imagination...
