    I'd like to be financially secure, have a good job that I loved, possibly working as a medicinal chemist in a pharmaceutical company. I also hope to have met 'Mr Right' and be happily married with our own house and thinking about having children.

    I really, really want to be another person that obeys everything the government says. I really want to live in a house that has 3 bedrooms. I really want to be married with a nice wife. I really want to have a child. I want to pay my taxes to my country.

    lolno, I want to be leading a revolution.
    Getting two negs on this clearly shows the ignorance of the people on this forum. ****, I hate this site.

    I have several targets I'd like to achieve in 10 years.

    Personal :-

    1) I would like to be in good health and of decent weight and shape.
    2) I would like to be married and be a good husband every bit as good as I am a manager at work.
    3) I'd like to be every bit a good dad as I am currently a good manager / big boss


    Business/Career.

    1) I would like to have 10x more employees than I do today of which 70% make at least 20% more than the median income of Switzerland.
    2) I would like my company to be a world leader and household name in green solutions, I would also like to win several awards with regard to the design and implementation of eco-homes and I'd like one of my alpine lodges to have 3 Michelin stars.
    3) I hope before 10 years, I would not be working for any other company as all my businesses would be able to sustain itself without me needing to take a salary from elsewhere.

    If you haven't already, read this book titled "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey.

    Once you've successfully put in place everything that book calls upon then you need to read the book titled "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" The classic editions are best.

    Once you can successfully master the principles of these 2 books you would have then mastered over 85% of all you would need to have a successful management career

    I would like to be living with a partner,in Berlin,or some other large city in Germany,or Sweden,as a translator or interpreter/or indeed something that is languages related. I would like to have done a fair bit of travelling and be finacially stable enough to afford to do some more. Kids and pets,I have no idea.

    LIVING/EMPLOYMENT: Depends how I feel after graduation

    If I want to do more with the French side of my degree I would like to become a teacher (either French here or TEFL) in my hometown, the East of England (like Norwich way), the North West (Cumbria), Scotland & Ireland would both be nice too, or Paris, Lyon, Brussels, Charleroi, Besancon, Strasbourg, Lille, Nice, Montpelier, Perpignan, La Rochelle, Berne, Toulouse, Geneva, Lausanne etc.

    If I do more with the Film & TV side of my degree, I would like to be a writer in London or Cardiff, maybe Caen and Berlin on the European front, Tokyo, Sydney, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Rio De Janeiro, Beijing, Singapore, Mumbai for the rest of the world

    RELATIONSHIPS: I take the belief whatever happens, happens. If I'm not in a relationship or married, I'll hardly be tearing my hair out about it, as I think in your late twenties, early thirties, you're more orientated towards your career than settling down permanently. Though I would never say no to a relationship if the right person came along.
