are you where you thought you'd be in life?

[pontifex]

I know I'm not anywhere close to where I thought I'd be when I was in HS.
Everything just sucks.

Theonly thing that came even remotely close is that I work with computers, but I'm not sure so thats still what I want to do.

 

[quakefiend420]

i never thought i would be where i am today 10 years ago....but things change i guess :shrug;

life's not so bad though

 

[illusion88]

AT the end of High School I had no idea what I was going to do. I still don't but I ahve a better idea I think.

 

[mundane]

Expect nothing, and you'll be prepared for anything.

(I had no expectations)

 

[yllus]

Eh, pretty close. Maybe a little behind because I tend to fritter away my after-work hours with stuff like sports and women instead of my own side ventures.

Career wise? No. I have taken three steps back so I can go to school part time. I was a network engineer and then accepted a position with my current employer as a computer tech. They pay 100% tuition, books and fees and it is an awesome company to work for (potential for growth is unlimited). I do want to finish college ( 2 years left ) and then focus on my career more.

Life wise? No. It is better than I thought it would be. I am newly married, going to New Zealand in 4 days for our honeymoon and we just purchased a loft/condo in downtown. I am happy with who I am and what kind of person I am. Things are going great in this area.

Money wise? No. Again doing much better than I thought. Have a great paying job, we have good cars that are paid off, my 401k is building up nicely. Money isn't everything though.

 

[jadinolf]

I'm where I thought I would be: old

 

[batmang]

yep.

im 24, married my high school sweetheart, working as a desktop technician for 4 years now, (which is what ive been wanting to do since i was 14, work with computers), and we just bought a house.

life is good, real good.

 

[chambersc]

i'm ahead of where I thought I would be. My prospects look great, too.

 

[FoBoT]

i am doing better than i would have guessed

 

[CptObvious]

I'm coming up on 10 years since I've left HS. I had no clue what I wanted to be 10 years ago. I suppose I exceeded my expectations (became a lawyer) but somehow it doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment. I'm still struggling financially and I haven't done the things I've wanted, like tour the world.

 

[radioouman]

Not at all.
At least I thought that I'd have at least a somewhat interesting job.

 

[randomlinh]

no where close.

how can u be struggling financially as a lwayer?

thought they all make big bucks like doctors to make up for the huge school loans?

edit:
Touring Europe was also meh... guess I'm not a tourist type snapping pics that i will probably never look at again

 

[S Freud]

Not really, I never expected to go to college, holding down a job and taking care of myself. With the way my life was looking a few years ago I guess I should be thankful I didn't fallow my crowd of friends back then....to jail that is.

Am I happy with my overall situation? No. I wish I had better graded, but that is my responsibility, only I can change that. I wish I was in better financial condition, but this is something that I am working on. So I guess I am fairly happy, but it still needs work.

 

[j00fek]

i bet not many people are

 

[Bryophyte]

Nope.

I got a job in a small firm. I guess the experience is some ways better than in a big firm (get to take my own clients and handle my own cases sometimes, and work regular hours) but the pay is whatever I bring in. It's hard to get work when you don't have an established client base.
