Title: Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years ahead?
Post by: Kratos on August 28, 2012, 05:13:39 am
I'm looking forward to get my Masters in IT Networking and HOPEFULLY learn and understand c++ (ffs), python and java. Maybe work at my brothers company while doing my masters.

Where do you guys see yourself? Heck, to the GES devs I can see you guys working for big game companies.

Well hopefully by then I'd have my Computer Science & IT degree got and would be working somewhere in that sector (perhaps with a private company either here or overseas). I'd also like to have a nice house not too near a city with a decent car and just to live a comfortable ordinary life.

I'm looking forward to get my Masters in IT Networking

Best of luck with that!

Am I the only one around here who doesn't want a career in IT?

I am currently in my last year of my pharmacy degree. When I finish this, next year I will be a Pharmacist Intern, then after I have my year of experience and pass my final exam, I will be a fully qualified pharmacist.

After this, I want to spend a few months travelling, then find a job, make lots of money, whilst studying to be an Accredited Pharmacist, who can go around to people's houses to optimise their medication.

During this time, I hopefully marry the man of my dreams. Keep working. Have a baby, whilst at the same time saving to start up my own pharmacy.

All this before I am 30. I am 21 now. Which is entirely possible. And this isn't something I have thought up today either. I am a dreamer and I always give myself goals. I wanted to be a pharmacist since I was 8 years old, so I am living proof you can fulfil life-long dreams.

Currently studying computer science engineering at the University of Michigan (KM's alma mater :D). Hopefully making big money at some company as an IT manager someday.

Not in Australia. There are too many pharmacists and because of that, they are paying us even less these days, in particular the fact that everything is run by the government and they are giving us less money.

Good luck with the rest of your degree Emilia. My brother is currently studying to be a Pharmacist too and he will be going into his third year of study next month

I'm also NOT in the IT branch. Studying Mechanical Engineering here. Hopefully, in 5-10 years, I'll be working in an engineering company.

Thank you :) I have no idea what pharmacy school is like in Ireland. All I know is that with my degree, I can go work in New Zealand or the UK. I looked into transferring my degree in America, but I can't do it. You need to have done a recognised 5 year pharmacy degree. In Australia, ours are only 4...

I'm not entirely sure myself, but I know his degree is a 5 year one and that the last year is spent in professional placement with a Pharmacy that is in liaison with the college. I think once he has graduated after the 5 years he will have a Masters in Pharmacy too or something

Well, people that know me already know that I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing. Currently, I am working on the Orthopedic floor as a new graduate nurse. I see myself in about 3-5 years going back to either get a Masters in Nursing or going from RN to PA (physician assistant). They have a 2 year program from BSN-RN to PA. A Masters in Nursing is another 4 years of schooling. If I get a masters in nursing, I can function under the same level as a Doctor and have my own patients, prescribe my own meds, and have my own clinic. Pretty tempting. PA is a little more restrictive as I have to work under a physician.

Option 2: I could see myself eventually working more in public health nursing such as school nursing. I love working with kids in the public setting such as being a camp nurse at a kids camp. Keeps you young working with kids. :)

Option 3: I have considered this a lot lately, but there is a degree (2-4 years) which would get me a Masters in Nursing Informatics. In this position, I could be the one that physically designs EMR's (Electronic medical records) and codes the program basing it around my prior nursing experience. This department has a wide variety of salaries ranging from the same as a staff RN (what i do currently) and making up to 110,000 dollars yearly (depending on the company, state, and other factors). Either way, it would combine my computer knowledge and nursing knowledge and take the best of both worlds. Might be a really good fit for me. Plus, I feel like GE:S has had provided me with some helpful experience, more or less. 

Regardless, I see myself somewhere else than where I do now. The questions is....where will I go. :)

5 Year Plan: Possibly get an M.Ed, then teaching English in Asia, and then the Middle East once I have enough experience under my belt.

10 Year Plan: Back to school for a masters in Archeology.

Somewhere along those lines. I can get into a free M.Ed for Elementary Education course now that runs for 18 months, but I'm not sure sure if I want to.

Live in Karratha (a mining town in north west australia) with my partner. Me and her have big plans for a house, a home theatre to make people jealous and a range of business ideas around her future job as a shipping agent.

I will run the businesses and if she gets 2 or 3 years as a shipping agent here that would qualify her to work pretty much any port town/city in the world.

So who knows where we'll be in 5-10. Somewhere as happy as now, but with more financial chops? =D

I am doing my professional placement as well as doing other pharmacy units. His degree sounds a lot like the American set up, because they finish with a Masters of Pharmacy, whereas mine will only be a Bachelor. (Which is good for him, means he isn't stuck in Ireland).

It seems a lot of people are going up to Karratha to change their lives, and not just to do mining either. It looks like the city is booming, which is really good for a country town. Good luck to you and your partner. It sounds like a good plan to me.

Wow, can't believe it has been a year since this thread started. How is everyone else going?

I now have my Bachelor of Pharmacy and I have about 3 months left of my internship.

I looked at becoming an accredited pharmacist, but the job prospects there are not good.
In saying that, the jobs prospects of any career path of pharmacy aren't good. Pharmacists are getting paid absolute @#$% here. I am looking to go into country towns where the demand for pharmacists are high and the pay is so much better.

I have my final exam in 2 months time. And it is really scary *hides*

Once my internship is done, there may be a place for me to work over Christmas, as it is very busy then. After that, I am off to Oregon for a few months. Not sure how long I am actually going as of yet.

Then trying to find a job.

EJ, how much longer until you are a doctor?

So you're trying to become a licensed pharmacist in the US?  Or coming for vacation?  Because the US market for pharmacists has also very recently become saturated in many areas, at least in NY/NJ.  No clue about the west coast.

I am currently in my final year, 4th year.  Once I graduate, I will then start doing 4 years of anatomic/neuro pathology specialty training.  Following that with one fellowship year in forensic pathology.  Then, I can finally say that I am done. :-\

Wow EJ. So proud of you. The speciality you are going to do sounds very interesting. :D I just hope freshly dead bodies don't freak you out

As for me, I am going for a holiday. Never been to the US before, so I am very excited.

And yes, I will be seeing Major. GoldenEye meet up of two.

I am slightly disappointed. I stayed in Bend last week for a day and played on the Disc Golf course there (the one with the desert terrain 9 holes, Major) but I WAS NOT able to have enough time to plan a visit with Major. :/ It could have been a meet up of 3 in Oregon. Oh well. One of these times when I go through it, we are going to meet up and blood will be shed that night!

I live in a desert, it's all desert terrain. I've played on 3 different ones here, so odds are I've played at one you did.

I will be with Major the entire time I am there, so yes, you will definitely have to come back and say hi!
