But yeah, it's always a stumbling point that one, especially when the job is a bit of a rut anyway and they're expecting you to give the obligatory "loyal to this company but further up the career ladder" response. Sometimes there is nowhere to climb up to other than management or another job. What if I'm perfectly happy in the current role and don't want to "progress the career" and become a manager?

I'd say it's more fulfilling to start your own business. Then when you climb another rung on that ladder it's directly proportionate to how much effort you're putting in. When you work for a company, you can get fired for all your effort.

I'm gonna invent something that's better than Post-Its. So they're yellow, big deal, so is urine. But can they toast a bagel? Don't think so!

Still?

I'll be 28 in 10 years, so I'm hoping I will be:

1) A college graduate
2) Have gotten a teacher job in High School teaching at least, and...
3) Have obtained a Master's Degree, and possibly trying to get a PhD because...
4) I'd like to do some type of college professor type teaching and you obviously need a degree beyond a BA. Depending on what type of position you want as a college professor, you'd need to have a Masters at least, and a PhD if you want full-time tenure.
5) Married
6) Pregnant, because I'd like to have a kid in my late 20's/early 30's, once I've gotten done doing all the stuff I'd like to accomplish as a person who doesn't have to take care of a child.

Career, wife, kids, house.

I mean, I really look forward to having a place where I can raise a family and have a giant copy of the Star Wars: A New Hope poster hanging up in a frame.

Also I want to be saving and investing and making the kind of money that I can go into early retirement on, or at least start my own business. No sense in working longer than I have to if I can invest smartly and live off investments (unless I get to work somewhere I really enjoy!).

Miserably.

Crossing my fingers and hoping that I'll get an overnight epiphany/wealth. Crap, I panic about this.
