Those of you in college, or getting ready to go to college, do you know what you're doing after you graduate? Do you have a set plan, or are you just going to "go with the flow"?

I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to do until this morning. I went to see a professor to make sure all my classes were in line for graduation and he informed me that the best thing for me to do is to go to France and Canada. So now, I've got a few weeks in Canada this summer. A month or so in France next summer. And possibly a year long Assistanceship in France after I finish grad school! :confused:

After college I plan to go straight to work so I can work my way up the money line as soon as possible.

Take my advice, the best thing to do is to put away your hopes and dreams early. That will make the reality of your life that much less dissappointing than it truly is. It may be that the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.

I just started college, but I still probably won't know what I'll be doing in a couple years. The most far-fetched thing would probably be the rock 'n roll band. If we ever sign a deal (whether it be indie or major) then I'll do that for a while I suppose. Other than that, I'll just have to see what happens...I'd like to work as a writer in journalism or something of the like, but I'll accept something lower as long as I can live off of it...

And what Neo said is depressing, but true. :(

take advantage of opportunities and work hard...you'll make a good living

I'm going into Business Administration in the fall, and I wont even try to think about what specific job I'll be going after 5+ years down the road.

Someone should make alot of bots, then give them there own thread and only the bots can post in it, program them to do that.

How could you suggest such a thing? It's a good thing we banned you.

Well, I'm going to University soon. Hopefully. I know my basic route of what I want to do though, and whatever happens, happens.

If you end up doing horrible in University, or Collage and dont think you have a purpose in life, you could always go to a thrid world country and be a hero there. Give them food, love,(non-sexual) Money, shelter, help them tear down all the churches that the missionaries built.(i have nothing wrong with religion, just that in Ethiopia, there are more churches than people) Hell, you could even introduce video games, and gametavern( shameless plug?....wait, can you have a shameless plug on your own site?)
But i wasnt joking about that third world stuff, im not all love and flowers you know.

Wouldn't it be cool if CamFuBot started making copies of himself, and he hacked into the site and made himself Admin and then took over and banned all the non-bots? :D

And Typhoid, Junior year is 11th grade.

i have my life roughly planed out until i settle down.

after i finish high school (next year...hopefully), i'm going to the army to get money and training, after the army i'm going to college for Police Foundations, after i graduate from college, i'll look for a job in law enforcement, and with my army training and stuff, i'll practicly be a shoe in...and thats it.

I'm not that up on Canada facts (i'm more of a scholar of France itself). Is Vancouver mainly french speaking? Because that is why I would go to Quebec, to take classes that would immerse me in the French language.

No, there's probably a very small amount here. :p But my little cousins go through French Immersion, so they do live here.

Maybe 30 french people live in Vancouver....and there all the french teachers. If anything French is the least Spoken language in Vancouver. Behind English, Irish, Asian, then french could be squeezed in there somewhere.

That is what I figured. Which is why I wouldn't go there for an immersion experience.
