Where do I see myself in 5 years? Well there are two areas of my life that I think will have changed since I was in college. The first being my professional life and the second being my personal life. I have the motto and belief that events in life happen for a reason and it is important that they happen. I am hoping with the support of my family and educational status that I will lead a healthy and happy lifestyle!
In my professional life I see myself in 5 years holding a management position within a stable and established company. From previous research it is very likely that I will be working in the public sector, but where in the sector I work is still being decided. As long as I am serving others and making the world a better place for everyone than I believe I will be accomplishing my career goals. In addition I am hopeful that my future career will support furthering my education by paying for a Master's degree as they are often very expensive and time consuming. With such support within the company, I look forward to a position that will support my personal life as well.
A family, a comfortable sized house and a dog is where I see myself in my personal life 5 years from now. I am hoping that my career will be able to support the lifestyle I see for myself, or at least have the additional support of my significant other. I currently enjoy the finer items in life and I would like to keep that for my future. I would also predict that in 5 year I would be almost finished paying off my students loans and saving for my future children's college funds as I know how expensive college has been and would like to give them the same opportunity I have been given by my grandparents. Although this might not seem much for what I see for myself in 5 years, it is just the start and I believe it can only get better from there.
Hi Ashley. You have a very positive outlook on your future and I think that is great! Like you, making the world a better place for everyone is what I aspire to. As a person who likes to plan, not knowing exactly what I will do after graduation can be a struggle. I have met many amazing individuals through my internship experience. I understand now more than ever that my future success depends on my and my willingness to go for it and make it happen. I am focusing as much as I can right now on next steps. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me professionally and personally. As a student who has already been married and raised a family, having something exciting to look forward to gives me purpose as my little birdies fly out of the next.

ReplyDeleteI think we share similar work/life balance. I too enjoy the finer things in life. I hope that with a combination of school and work experience that I will achieve success in the public sector. I also would like to go to graduate school, but I know its expensive. Hopefully after I graduate I will continue on my educational journey to success! Really enjoyed reading!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog pretty interesting! You're definitely a very confident person and that's pretty awesome! I decided to reply to this post specifically because I think it is really important to always look ahead and you seem to have reflected on your future plans. My mentor always tells me that sometimes I need to enjoy and appreciate the moment because I tend to over look things. But I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!
