    I've come to realize IRC turns me into a retard. Also I'm pretty busy with the business stuff and my part-time job.

    I am going to be debating whether or not to go into education so I can fuck up the next generation of brats.

    Within 5 years I am aiming to become a Network Manager (currently an IT Techie with 1 years experience) and be earning 2-3 times my current wage. I'd also like to own my on Computer company somewhere down the line; whether that's in 5 years or 15 years (I'm nearly 20) I don't know, but they are my main aims for the immediate future.

    Actually my life wouldn't fall apart jackass. I will have degrees and can find another guy and I don't really have to worry about money.

    My boyfriend and I have seriously talked about our futures and we are going to try our best to see our plan happen. If not we do have backup plans and we know not everything happens the way you want.


    And no, I will not be grooming dogs.

    Actually, I meant it as in the whole marrying her boyfriend thing. I wasn't talking at all about a job interview.

    Whenever anyone asks me that - job interview wise, I typically crib a line and say, "Celebrating my 5/10/whatever year anniversary here in whatever position you need me in."

    When I was applying for a job at a movie theater in New York, they asked me where I saw myself in 2 years. "Celebrating the 2 year anniversary of you asking me that question with my broom in hand."

    Or my current job. "Celebrating the 4 year anniversary of you asking me that question while putting files back on shelves."

    Naturally, my current job is eliminating my position in... the next year, so my fourth anniversary will never roll around. But I've been promoted since then and I no longer work on shelves, so I guess we're all liars.

    the substring "Days File" of your title sounds awkward and i along with many others will judge your book by its title

    Well see bitch, since we're into namecalling now, these are key points you left out in your original post which sounded strangely like "I love my boyfriend SOOO much and I'm gonna have 30 of his kids and he's going to take care of me for the REST OF HIS LIFE because he loves me SOOOO much too and we're gonna be together forever and I'll just DIE if we're not *giggle*".

    Although I still don't know in what field you're going to get a master's in a year. Also, what's a masters? You're overqualified for entry level and underqualified for upper level. Congratulations, you're just fucked yourself over, unless it's an MBA.

    Get my A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Apply to Cardiff, Southampton, UCL and some other unis (I don't know which one I wanna go to though, if I get accepted for more than one) on the Biomedical Sciences course.

    After that... either get a research post or do a graduate-entry degree for Medicine... Depending on whether i've won the lottery or not.

    I am terrible for planning, and even my current long-term plan is more of a "Well, I'll fall back on this if my spur-of-the-moment plans fall through." Basically, finish high school, attend my last youth-volunteer program (CWY), finish uni with a (current) major in english and another teachable (likely music (also way to pick coveted, undermanned jobs for teaching, me)), and settle down as a school teacher wherever I choose to, enjoying my summers off to go and do things that pique my interest. If I decide to actually continue my education further, I'd be mostly interested in studying education and trying to change the system from within to something that has some actually credibility instead of a modicum of it.

    On the unrealistic side, my inclinations are to follow a career as a marginally successful musician for a few years. In the end, though, I'll likely settle into education.

    Not really. The system as it's set up has obvious flaws, mostly stemming from how power is organized and exercised and which positions are accountable to which and why. I am aware of what the core problems are already, actually figuring them out is more of a reorganization of the power structure than anything else, which is more difficult in terms of execution than actual planning.

    The question is whether or not I'll actually focus on that.

    so you're going to single-handedly fight the system and expect to suceed where others have tried and failed?

    don't get me wrong, change has to happen. but i hope you realize that you are not going to be the sole agent of a sudden revolutionary change in education.
