How far ahead have you planned in your life?

[Matt]

I've planned far enough to know I'm going traveling and that I'm going to Uni and graduating! After that, in terms of job wise etc, I haven't really thought about what's going to happen. I guess I'm more focused on graduating Year 12 atm.

Idk maybe 5 years cause i know i'm going to uni soon. However, i already have a general gist of what i want in my life, like going to uni, getting a decent job, traveling to diff countries, get a decent house etc etc. I tend to focus on my present and let my life plays out itself and decides where it wants to take me cause i don't want to feel disappointed when i can't achieve something i want that i've planned out a long time ago. life is full of surprises and obstacles that you can't foresee

eh i'm 15 and i've know for about 5 years now i will definitely go to uni, so im pretty certain on that. ive also been 100% that i want to do law at uni etc but honestly lol the closer i get to it n more ive grown up i have realised how you actually have to work for that where as i used to be sure of myself that i was this really smart girl and it'll be easy hahaha! honestly it's turned out that i'm not smart so i am at a panicking stage lol

i also know i defo want kids and marriage but that's as far as it goes

[Rachel]

I always plan a bit ahead as I do care about my future. I am soon 23 and I did plan at least till I am 35 years old. I am planning to have kids and a house soon enough. As for a career, I already have a stable job so I am good for this part anyways.

See I'm stuck at that point where I know what I want to do, and I know I'll eventually do it, but due to this stupid economy and what I've chosen, I'm currently stuck in limbo trying to find a job in finance which I will most likely hate. But I want money so I can go on holiday.

nice thread

and to answer ur question no im stuck idk wat i want to do. im still trying to think wat i want to do in the next year after i finish uni in the next couple of months

[Derrener]

When I've finished my IT course in June, the next course I wanna do is Travel & Tourism

Ermm five years would make me 22. i'd like to think that I've got a job at an airport.

In 10 I'd love to be working for Virgin Atlantic at Manachester airport
I did want to say Thomson but they don't employ their own check-in staff.
And maybe in 20 i'd be 37 and maybe by then i'll be cabin crew but from the amount of training and stuff that you have to do, it's always put me off so not really sure


How much of that is actually gonna happen, only time will tell.

Nope, I believe you miss out on life's greatest pleasures if you are confined to one path.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

[dbgtz]

I used to have a pretty broad set of goals I would achieve at various ages, but a combination of things has caused to me to re-evaluate these and essentially destroy them and now I maybe think a month ahead at max.

I have some sort of plans in my mind about where I want to be but realistically I don't think I will get there. Ideally I want to graduate from uni, move away from home and start to earn a living, travel abit or specialise in an area after my three years (i can see me being fed up of education by that point though). Hopefully start a family and to settle down I guess. I think for certain though I don't want to carry on living where I am at the moment and I will look at moving after uni.
