What is your 'lifeplan'?

Do you have a life's plan laid out? If so, what is it? xD

I'll be finished uni by the age of 24. Hopefully, I'll step into a general teaching job an work my way up the ranks through into private schools, and eventually move south into Devon/Cornwall and open up my own private school.

But I don't expect the grand plan will work like that at all. xD

not necessarily plan but a prefered life...

start university..leave in 4 years, when the grand old age of 22-23

work my way up my career, and get married when roughly 23-30, maybe go live in london where the best cardiac hospitals are, OR alternatively move too scotland where heart disease is highest, and am more likely to get work lol

30-40-baby making time, still be working my way up too management and specialist level

40-50 baby making time over, focus on career furthur..boring

65+ go travel the world alone or with husband..

im boring...

18-21 - BSc Psychology.
21-22/23 - Either Masters or PHd.
23 - Move to Scotland.
23-30 - Get on career ladder in prison service/judicial system + publish a book.
30+ - Climb up ladder, make babies.

Bit vague.

Question.

Go to uni, get a job doing something i enjoy, meet someone who will make me laugh and smile everyday, have a few kids with whoever that person is and be happy.

I made a life plan back when i was about 15 and so far absolutely nothing has gone to plan.

open up my own private school.

I know that you probably think that you'll get students who are more willing to learn and a better salary etc., but don't you feel for the people who can't afford to educate their children privately? Why not aim to raise the standards in your local state school: you can still be ambitious, aim to become head of department of even headteacher, for example.

I think I've got a rough idea lol :smile:

I'll graduate with a Modern Languages degree when I'm 24 by which time I should be trilingual, speaking German, Spanish and English (obviously).

Ideally, I would like to do a Masters with languages combined with business. I've already looked some up: Multilingual Information Management or Intercultural Business Communication. The problem is I don't know how I'd pay for it and I might want to get a job and live my life by this time.

I want a job using my languages in Manchester probably working for an international business doing something like multilingual seretary stuff/customer advising.

I'll have to commute by train before I do my lessons and get my first car. I only want something like a little Suzuki Swift or a Nissan Almera.

I wanted to buy my own horse but now I do a private share, I've realised how much work it is and I don't know if I could ever afford it or if I could get up at 6 every day without fail, do all the insurance/vet stuff. I'll probably go back to lessons but have more, do my horsy qualifications, go to shows, etc... I'll always be a horsy person.

I really want more animals so I'll probably end up with loads of little animals and tropical ones.

I want to be married at around 30 but I don't want children. I'm actually considering being sterilised. If I manage to find someone who doesn't want kids and I know it's what I want, I might get it done when I'm around 30.

I also want to travel and use my language skills to do aid work abroad and conservation projects.

I've got a plan!

i dont really have a set plan, but i have ideas of things i want to have achieved and roughly when i want to have done them. although it is dependant on me finding something i want to do, atm i will go with my current direction of career but it will change lol

18-22 go to uni, get a BA and then PGCE.
22-23 travel
23-24 get a job as art teacher in secondary schools. meanwhile producing own range of something
24-30 have had children and been married. meanwhile the range of stuff is progressing nicely, should be in some independant retailers by now. oh and have a house.
30-40 either move into bigger shops with the product or my own shops, i dont know whats better?!?
40+ have lots of my own shop selling my own stuff, more travelling. if im rich from the shops and therefore not doing so much shop work, maybe do some teaching again.

Hmm.. I don't really have an answer for this. :p:

Sorry!

I just have a vision of what I want my school to be like, and unfortunatly that vision doesn't fit in with the majority of state schools these days. Things like low class numbers (max. 15 per class) and potentially intergrated classes (years 1+2, 3+4, 5+6) just don't fit with how state schools are run.

Travel a lot, marry an amazing guy, probably have kids, do something I really love. Me, vague? Never.

I had a few, but they invariably changed.

I'll most probably take things as they come, but:

- BA at Oxford
- MA at a top uni (ideally Oxbridge, UCL, LSE)
- PhD (as above)

Marry, at some point.

And then, depending on the foundations I lay for myself at university (journalism, politics, philosophy, economics...) go into a career. I'd aim to ultimately end up doing something like:

- Editing a national newspaper
- Becoming the Foreign Secretary (long shot, that)
- Becoming an MEP
- Working for the European Commission
- Being an Investment Banker

So still quite a broad spread of possible careers.

In the meantime, I'm additionally planning to learn:

Spanish (started already)
Japanese
Chinese (Mandarin)
Russian
Icelandic
Italian
Arabic
Finnish

Then have children in my early thirties (if it's convenient, at that time)

My real ambition, though, is to have my work published and live on after my death. Not fiction, but musings/ramblings/thoughts/essays/philosophies like Aristotle, Marx, Montaigne, etc. It's completely unrealistic, but hey, a guy can dream.

I think I tried to fit too much in, though, and I'm not sure of the order to do it all in.

Get some kind of qualification somehow somewhere in something.

I don't really mind as long as it allows me to move to the US, get a job and have some fun.

Fair enough. :p:

I don't particularly agree with it (having gone to two private schools myself) -- but then I don't agree with a lot of things!

Why integrated classes, if you don't mind me asking?
