But you're here and it's gash! I lived abroad for 4 months one summer, I didn't work though as all the jobs were badly paid so I thought what is point busting my balls for 2 quid an hour for 15 hours when I can do everything I want without spending silly money and then get a normal paid job back in England. I owed about 3 grand by the end but had the best summer of my life.

If you can't think of anywhere better to live than the lakes then that's good for you, wish I was as content.

Fair enough. My job is quite good and over here I would not want to help load ungrateful peoples shopping in to there car.
But if I was in Canada, and doing it where the money is not essential than I can say I would enjoy it more

As i said in the career thread, i do like my job but dont want to work for someone else forever, i want something my kids can follow me into. Thats why iv started doing bits now to try build my own business, got a few different things on the go and are doing quite well so hopefully these will progress further.

Getingt an offer from one of the graduate jobs I'm applying to would be a good start!
Everything else depends on whether I have to move to a different area of the country for a job next year or not...
...apart from getting a new car, that'll be high on the shopping list

To be honest, I've always done what I wanted to do in life. Made a goal and set out and achieved it. Although I enjoy working, the job is just to let me do the other things I want in life and not the purpose of my life.
Got the degree I wanted
Got the job I wanted
Went travelling
Been racing
Done Bungees / Skydives etc
Next up for me, is to move to central London for a bit for fun. Make sure I'm out 5-6 nights a week (not necessarily getting drunk), but just meeting people, having experiences. Maybe get a camera and do a bit of filming as a creative outlet.
Equally, I realise I'm getting older and so fitness is something I take for granted at the moment. So I've been in the process of getting fitter and will focus on running / biking races and maybe triathlons if I get my swimming better.
Then once bored of that, buy a house, settle down... maybe write a book since I love writing essays.
I also aspire to one day own my own business, perhaps just a lifestyle business that lets me enjoy the things I like, while paying the bills.
Oh and somewhere along the path, I'd add some token John-D's - own a ferrari or porsche gt3 rs at some point (even if I sell up after a couple of months)... Nurburgring in sub 8 mins too. Probably go racing again! Maybe race in the Nurburgring VLN!

I take life as it comes. I've been to uni, modded cars, bought new cars, sat on car parks, been PVS, bought a house, started my own company.. I feel anything is achievable if you want it.
For me now i need to build up my company, fancy an automatic motor and wouldn't mind investing in a few buy to lets if i can. Most of all it's about being happy and staying healthy!

I have started to make more and more plans lately.
by the time I am 28-30
- I want to pass my qualification asap (ideally within 1.5 years now).
- Do quite a few challenges for charities (Three peaks(+ the purer version)/john o'groats to lands end/Sky dives/Bungees etc).
- Learn a new language and possible relearn french too + another instrument.
- carry on at the gym until i am at a size I am happy with.
By the time I am 35-40
- be as sucessful as possible and work my way up the ladder as quickly as possible, as for where/who i want to work for I dont know.
- Maybe live in NYC depends on many other things though.
Ideally I would love to be able to retire at 50 however I cant really see that one happening but its what ill aim for
