What Is It You Want To do With Your Life? Job/Friend/travel?

[Common Sense]

Graduate College and get a succesful job after that.

Be sure you take the right degree program in college. Some programs don't have a great job out look, and your stuck paying back student loans from a not so good paying job. Choosing the right degree program is extremely important especially in todays economy.

I wonder if any of you guys have reached your goals, or at least, are in the process of making life changes.

reaching my goal. One year left at university and then off to work with Urban Regeneration companies. They fucced my housing estates (projects) up so much when i was a kid and never did anything useful for us. When i work my way to this job im gonna make sure my people get the regeneration they deserve, something hopeful and promising for the youth is where im gonna start.

Get your GED man and go to trade school. You'll make a lot more in the end.

PS Work part time at Wal Mart while your doing all this.

I love travelling. There's a lot of countries I still want to visit. I've looked into volunteering in a lot of places but it costs a fortune. I thought agencies would be happy to find people willing to help build houses etc. in poor African communities, but they charge money. Some places will only accept licenced engineers and stuff, and most charge 3-4 thousand just for the privelage of helping people.

I've also looked into teaching English to kids in Ethiopia, but I don't have the right credentials.

Keep searching for agencies. I have never heard of an agency charging volunteers to help the needed. These people sound more like travel agents looking for indentured servants. Try some of the religous agencies or main international groups. There is a job for you out there somewhere.

I dream of leaving London and living with my Traveller bretherin in the Countryside! Live on land, make sculpture, make babies, grow my own sustinance, eat, drink, be merry and give thanks.

I been working last eight years with boys who have ended up on their face (gang issues, homelessness, crime, mental health, trauma) and young refugees(PTSD/Trauma, immigration issues, displacement) and every issue it brings to me and I'm TIRED to my soul! Give me Gypsy music (and hip hop, and reggae, and hell, Ill just take the lot) and a dose of freedom for a season!

Hang in there Luis. Take it one day at a time. Go to class everyday, get help in subjects you find difficult, and you will graduate. If you are not on the high school baseball team, you can always strive to play on a team at junior college and move your way up. Great goals always start with a dream. Never stop dreaming, never stop trying, because someday Luis you will make it.

[luis x]

Teachers are in great demand

Not quite true i heard that there was a huge surplus of hopefuls trying to become history teachers but there arent enough jobs for them

[Sk8punk]

End my studiing in ART, become a free artist. Later, marry my girl and maybe have a child.

Simple Things, that's the way I want them to be. Become happy.

[Mraka]

I got no ideas no more.I `ll try to realize those I had before.

[MICK]

GREAT thread Commonsense!

To anyone that wants to graduate highschool, congratulations.
Even if you dropped out, the GED is equal to a highschool diploma, and will get you into a college easy.

GO TO COLLEGE! It will be your key to the world if you do. Find what it is you want to do, and go for it.

Im already almost 30, so I cant say "when I grow up"... LOL

However, I would like to retire in Cancun. I have acheived much of my goals in life and am very happy.

Im married, I have a great son, I started my gym here in Chicago from scratch, I have trained MANY successful fighters, 3 have gone to Pride Fighting in Japan, 8 have fought in UFC 4 got contracts. I get a genorous amount of those 4 guy's contracts, I have done pro wrestling for 9 years, traveled the world with it. My only goal now, is to retire in Cancun. It will be a while but.......

Thanks man.

Being older, like yourself, I'm just glad I can look back and be relatively content with my life so far. Theres not much else to "grow up" to, but you can always learn and expand yourself as a person.

[MICK]

Thats exactly right. Where are you from brother?

Sounds like a great plan. I'm sure you will make it happen with your street knowledge and entreprenuer spirit, by the way thanks for the compliment Mick.

[MICK]

Yea, no problem brother. Your one of the few guys here that contributes positively. Im glad your around boss.

[Rymez_Nz_221]

i wanna be elite in what ever i do,,, but its hard to get places when you don't have money to back your dreams.
i like fast cars, scuba diving, rock climbing, i would like to go sky diving, snow boarding and to travel the world. i want to become a snake expert which would be a very elite job to have, move to australia and live in the bush.
those are my dreams, some ive accomplished some i have yet to even attempt.

i live in australia, you guy's might all think its kangaroo's n shit, rofl, but we DO have ghetto's here but insted of filled with african american's its lebonease, asian and islanders..

[MICK]

there are ghettos everywhere brother. Its part of society. The fact that its all Leboneese, asians and islanders is interesting though.

[SeriaKilla]

Thats exactly right. Where are you from brother?

I'm from all over but the south is where my heart is.

[MICK]

Oh yea? I lived in Atlanta for a couple of years. Where in the south are you from?
