Who will you be in 10 years time?

[SiaSiaSia]

Just because I'm curious about your life plans :)
Be as detailed as you wish! I will do mine now


and yes I know there are threads on this but they are old [=dead]

[Lauren]

I'll wait to see what others' look like first so I don't go into too much or too little detail (if I go into too much I'll seem purely psycho haha)

[SiaSiaSia]

I'll be 27!

Hopefully(!) my next 10 years will be:

2009-2010: A2s in French, German, History, Critical Thinking... hopefully take up Spanish GCSE and drop Philosophy?
2010-2011: Gap year :) need to arrange this :) Hopefully doing some amazing things with amazing people
2011-2012: First year of uni - doss around make friends and partyyyy :thumbs2: Doing modern foreign languages at a GOOD university hopefully. And by good uni I mean top 30?. Doing either: French and German, French German and Spanish, French German and Swedish, or French and Spanish...
2012-2013: Second year of uni
2013-2014: YEAR ABROAD :D hopefully 6 months in france and 6 in germany, or 444 if I do three!
2014-2015: last year!
2015-2016: Masters at Oxford university? Maybe extra studying? (about as likely as me being reincarnated as a mushroom but i could dream) It's like my ultimate dream to go there, but I balled up my GCSEs. :(
2016-2017: MOVEEEEEE ... somewhere and get a job or own my own buisness... I'd quite like to work in London for a few years, or maybe Paris.

Sia, you can easily aim top 10-15!

[Christina]

I'll be 26, by then i'd of liked to:

- Finish college with my 4/5 a levels

- Get into a good university where i hope to study media journalism because i really want to work in magazine companies. But i wouldn't mind being a photographer either.

- Move in with my 2 friends Mandy and Fiona [i'd soo love to do this, we're planning it but i'm not sure if it will hapen due to being split in college]

- Go travelling with my other best mate Laura, we really want to go to loads of countries as neither of us have travelled further than france/spain and neither of us have been on a plane!!

- As soon as i turn 17 i'd like to take my driving lessons and hopefully have a car?

Can't think of anymore yet so i'll be editing the thread later on :)

[Princess]

I want to have at least one child,if not two and be happily settled,living in London.

No offence but media journalism doesn't help you get into magazine companiesss!

[Ninastar]

In ten years I want to be a manager of a nursery and have some children. Does anyone know if a manager of a nursery would be good pay??? lol. x :blush2:

[x_eztiger_x]

hopefully i will be married with 1 kid an of had a really good few years at sea and started a little job onshore

Yeah, Eng Lit would be a much better choice.

[Stu]

In ten years, assuming I am alive, I will be [stops to think] 28 years old.

Hopefully by then I will be in the music industry in some capacity. By the end of the year I should have a dual synthesizer setup to work on the tracks I have already done demos for using PC sequencer software.

I expect I will be single, living in a flat, and really - living the same sort of adolescent lifestyle I am living now. Which is fine by me. I cant see myself having any sort of 'commitments' save for my own creative commitments.

I always drew the line at where I wanted to stand financialy. Money does not bother me in the slightest as long as I have a warm flat and money to spend on all the things that make me happy. As long as I have a room, a large bed, a large TV, a collection of consoles, a sky box, a self sufficient supply of plants to ... appreciate ... and good mates, I am happy out.

So to recap, ten years time : Flat, amateur horticulturist, crafter of fine synthesized beats, and everything else the way it is now. Im having too much fun to change a thing :bigsmile:.

[DamonJ]

In ten years I'll be 15 and would like to be a manufactured popstar/ actor.

Sequencer software is something like FL Studio. Think of it as Photoshop for music, or Windows Movie Maker for music [albeit more complicated and all that] :thumbs:.

You can blag FL Studio via torrent in about ten minuets. It's great fun even if you dont plan on doing anything constructive on it, because it comes with plenty of synthesizer pluggins with thousands of sounds, and turns your keyoard into a ... well ... keyboard.

In 10 years time I will be 24 :O

- Get a GCSE in all subjects I do, apart From PE (Expected to get an E in PE, and above a B in Physics, averything else A and A+) - (Yes, I'm a bit of a Geek, but to me, Geek means Success)
- Go To College and Study English Lit, Drama and Media
- Learn to Drive and Get a nice car for my 17th
- Get A Levels

From here there are two Paths...

1))
- Go to university and get a degree in English Lit/Media
- Move To London, from Cornwall, and Get a small Flat by Myself
- Get A Job working for a celebrity Magazine Company, Heat* Would be perfect :P
- Live By Myself until about 24 and then move in with a GF and carry on my Magazine writing/editing job

2))
- Go To university and Study Drama
- Move To London and get a jobs doing TV Work, hopefully good paying stuff ;) My Dream would be Eastenders :P
- Settle down at the age of 23 with a Girlfriend

- I do not plan to have Kids until I am about 30ish. I want to think about my career and my own life first



So Yeeh, I am quite an optimistic thinker when thinking about how my life will turn out, but I work hard so hopefully I will acheive what I want =]

I really, really wouldn't recommend doing those A-levels with such good GCSEs.
At least take 4 AS levels to start with, and Media won't help you with what you want to do.

[Stu]

I cant believe how pre planned some of you have your lives. Specific ages for settling down to me is a bizzare concept. How do you know when you are going to want to settle down? You cant just attatch numbers to things.

Try life on autopilot. It only crashes some of the time :hello:.

You don't need any specific degree to get into magazine companies.
If you choose something like "media journalism" that really limits your options.
However if you chose something like Englit/History etc. then it puts you in a better position
It doesn't matter to an extent what you do, but how you do.
An employer would be more impressed with a "proper" subject than something so specific

This is what I've been told by employers, careers advisors etcetc

Haha, I didn't wanna shatter any nice optimistic illusions, but since you've started off - I'll continue.

I love particularly how people are moving from far away places, into the centre of London, and expecting to just be able to get a nice little flat for themselves. They'd need a small job first, that'd need to be in London - so you'd have to travel to London every weekend or something to try and find a job, whilst holding down a job to feed yourself by. Then when you get a job, you have to be able to then afford the flat. Then when you're comfortably in London, you have to somehow get this 'dream' job.

Although I do wish it was as easy as we're all writing down here haha.

I know!
Living in even a shithole in London would be as expensive as a house up north

[Firewire]

I will be 23 going on 24.

I hope to get a 1 in most subjects, hopefully English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Music in school before I leave when I am 18.

Get flying lessons at 16 and hopefully be able to do some Airport work.

Get into University and try to become a commercial pilot. I would also love to fly celebs aswell.

I plan to move to London and move into a flat there.

I would also like to get into media, but also maybe a career in music.

I would hopefully find a gf, get married around 25 and have children.

Wouldn't you? I always thought that to do Magazine Editing you would have to take media? I am doing my Math and English GCSE's a year early anyway, Doing them Next year. So this time next year, even though I will be in Year 10, My Math and English will be done :O Sounds So Surreal, anyway, I am Sure I will take English Lit throughout College and university. In Year 11 I do AS Level Math and English, in one year. So that means I have the potential to get in 6 AS Levels in the normal Schooling time, which is really good apparently! I will probably do:

Math (DEF)
English Lit(DEF)
Drama (DEF)
History
ICT
English Language

I guess that is how it works?

I mean, what is the difference between AS and A level?

What're you going to take?
I'm still not 100% sure as i'm thinking of changing some subjects, i'm still stuck between 3 colleges aswell but i'm hoping to take: English Lang/Lit, History, Photography and Graphics/Media .. but i kind of want to change Graphics/Media to Business Studies as i'm really good at it.. however the subject bores me to death even though it's one of my strongest subjects aside from English :)

It would be interesting to save this thread to see how some of the younger members change their attitudes. If you are under fifteen let me say this to you : the next four or so years of your life are going to be incredible, and are going to change your initial thoughts on just about EVERYTHING. You are but a blank slate until your teen years. It is then when you really start to define who you are. Four years ago I wanted to study Medecine. Enough said.

I always used to think childhood being the happiest years of your life and innocence being lost as you grow up as being complete cliches. Their not. I was shocked to find out [often first hand] how true they were. Childhood to me now seems like a fairy tail. I almost WISH I was a less intelligent person who thought about things less. Thats what your like as a child. You dont think into things. Everything is just a source of entertainment.

Anyway, enough of sounding depressed...
