I'd like to ask this to everyone here to see how much you've planned your life ahead. Lately a bunch of people have asked me what I wanna do in the future and honestly I don't have a clue.
I'm entering an unstable part of my career. I'll be starting a postdoctoral research post soon, and from here, it's all short contracts, moving to wherever I can get funded until I can find a lecturing post or give up and get a job in industry. It's going to be a lonely, unsettled time in my life, with no certainty further ahead than a year or so and a lot of moving around. I really can't say where I'll be, but I'd like to have secured a tenure track lecturing post in a university I would be happy to spend the rest of my career at.
- Married with a little nipper on the way
- Earning enough income from my business to turn my back on traditional employment for good
- Employing at least 10 people to work on my ever-expanding football equipment empire
- Mounting a challenge to the sports equipment monopoly in my country for a cut of the market share
- Drawing up plans for a soon-to-come brick and mortar store
Now here's a man with a plan. Good luck with all of that, Graham.
Oh, I was thinking of myself, I started school at 7. But now they start at 6 where I used to live. In this country I don't even know.
I started at 4 years and 4 months, which is earlier than the mean here, but not unusual. From what I've read, that conveys no real advantage over 6-7.
