Long Term Goals in Life aka Dreams

[BatChao]

Hey all. I thought that this would be pretty interesting topic: What is one of your biggest goals in life? Also, how realistically close are you to your dream?

By goal, I mean something you are working really hard everday to someday achieve. It could be something like a particular job or lifestyle, or perhaps winning a medal in the Olympics or something. Something that once you occomplish, you will feel immense satisfaction with your life.

As for me, I'd say that one of my biggest goals is to someday become a video game producer, director, or designer of major commercial games. As for how close I am... I'm not too close... but I'm getting there. I'm just taking things step by step. I've graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering and am now working at Activision as a tester. Sure, being a tester is hard work (currently working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week - ack!), tiring, and really not that close to being a producer or something, but it's a start. I've really learned a lot about the process games go through before their final release. Realistically, I'm thinking it'll probably be another 7-10 years before I get to my goal, but I won't give up and I'll keep striving for it!

You gotta set yourself some goals, chief! Me, I don't have any.

I remember a similar thread, but this is not the same cuz it's life goals :D

Anyway, I plan to graduate and get a full time job, pay off my debts, and then do whatever I darn well want for the rest of eternity. Bwah!

I aspire to owning a lawnmower. And perhaps one day a lawn.

A job that I actually enjoy might also be nice. Journalism is my current, preference, but that might change in time.

Good luck, but be sure thats what you want, and don't expect to get in easily. I've been there...it has its moments.

As for now that I'm past that, I'm going to college and aiming to be a social worker. I'm still just a freshman, but I plan to go on to get my MA, probably in the child welfare feild. I plan to live in California, but now I'm actually really looking at Canada.

Not ending up old and lonely.

I wanna find the one for me, get a good job, settle down with him and just live out the rest of my life and... be happy ^_^

I'm not that far off, I think. I may have already found him.

Hehe! :D

Anyways, I've planned to be a marine biologist, simply because I love biology and marine wildlife, so, yeah.

[StarlightAngel]

I want to move to Japan with my friend and the both of us will make manga, anime, and movies.

I wanna find the one for me, <s>get a good job,</s> settle down with <s>him</s> and just live out the rest of my life and... be happy ^_^

Joe just said what I meant to say, except I don't need that good job and it has to be HER.

I really haven't set any ultimate goals for me expect happiness. I know I'll be financially ok and all that stuff. I wanna get married, love someone and live happilly. Hope that's not too much to ask. =)

My goal is to find a job so I can move to Canada. There I will write a series of Sci Fi novels.
