If everything fell into place for you in the future, when you're nearing retirement, what would you say would be your ideal job level/title and total income at that point?

What about net worth?


title- CEO of multiple companies
income- £250,000 per year at least hopefully £500,000 or more
net worth- £10,000,000 inclusive of assets

Well.. It still is less stressful considering the stakes, hours and time off.

I guess there's the argument of being a role model for your pupils to aspire to!

It is less stressful in that way but teachers do have to deal with annoying students who won't learn which is pretty hard and tiring.

It is less stressful than finance but it is still more stressful than most jobs and not really an unwinding job like working at a corner shop or volunteering.

But yeah, being a role model and giving back to the community (if I manage to get a job at my high school) would be great :smile:

I'm going to uni for either English Lang or linguistics (hopefully). Not too sure on what I wanna persue afterwards but I'm pretty interested in speach therapy so maybe a masters in that. According to google (lol) they start on around 21-28,000. After many years of working in the field I hope to be making at least 35,000 or more. Idk tho I could decide tomorrow that I wanna be a teacher or a trapeze artist or a marine biologist...

Yeah the examsolutions guy is brilliant... I would failed my mechanics without him covering the hard questions
Baker. Bakers do not make that much money so any amount of money that pay bills and live nicely is the ideal income.

Same! I'm so grateful for the videos I watched in the morning. Pretty much the style of questions I watched in the morning of the exam, came up in the exam!!

Hopefully, I can reach a high position in a space exploration company e.g. SpaceX, NASA etc.

And I hope that would be over $100,000 a year eventually.

Whatever will make me happy and give me enough money to a) survive b) have a few leisure activities c) not be homeless lol
I would love to be an academic but that can't happen. I might like to be a writer but that can't happen. I've thought about teaching/tutoring but I know I wouldn't really like it or be adept at it; too much social awkwardness. So I guess the best option is to just fade out of existence when I've finished uni.

Well I'm starting my final year of uni in September so kind of need to start getting an idea. :tongue:

I've thought about it, just no idea what to do work experience in/ what to shadow. I don't have any interests in professions at this point.

Ach, you have like 30-40 years of working still - loads of time!

Sounds cliché but have you done any of those career interest tests? I think prospects has a good one. Also there's looking at what you're good at/enjoy?

Well there are plenty of non-science jobs you can do. What about accounting? Or teaching? Or something in business? Maybe consulting? There are loads and loads of graduate careers out there... you'll definitely find one that interests you.

I can flat out say teaching is definitely not for me. I don't have the patience for it, kids deserve a better teacher.

I have been constantly looking into other career routes trust me. I just don't seem to be "qualified" or experienced enough for any of the things mentioned.

Getting the first "professional" job I think will be the hardest thing, moving on from there should be easier.
