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.BlueCadillaC167 wrote:Graduate College and get a succesful job after that.

I wonder if any of you guys have reached your goals, or at least, are in the process of making life changes.
Re: What Is It You Want To do With Your Life? Job/Friend/tra
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.Common Sense wrote:I wonder if any of you guys have reached your goals, or at least, are in the process of making life changes.

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.Helms wrote:I love travelling.

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 wrote:i wanna graduate from high school and be a pro baseball player so i can look at the people that always been telling me i aint gon amount to nuttin day

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.......
