I'm currently in a house arrest program in Los Angeles for threatening a police station, i will be out in 9 months and i have been doing a lot thought about research about what im going to do when im out.

I want to work with GPUs (graphics processing units) and become a wrestler.

First I plan on attending Bakersfield College because its the second cheapest community college in California that has a wrestling team, the first cheapest is Lassen Community College but i think its too far away, it will take me 16hrs to get there by train however Bakersfield college would take me 5hrs.

After I do 2 years of coursework for engineering I plan on transferring to Bakersfield University which is both the cheapest University with wrestling and has the highest acceptance rate, I plan on earning a Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering.

After Bakersfield University I plan on attending Fresno State University to get a Masters degree in Computer Engineering, Fresno State is the only University in California that has both a Masters degree in Computer Engineering and a Wrestling team.

After Fresno University I plan on Working at either Nvidia or AMD to work on GPUs.

After a few years working I plan on getting a MBA at Standford University because Standford is the closest to Nvidia and AMD that has both a MBA program and wrestling team, after i earn my MBA I plan on trying to obtain a Managers position at Nvidia or AMD.

I also want to compete in the Olympics for Freestyle Wresting.

What are your goals?

Best of luck with that Gizmo. See how the wrestling goes at Bakersfield before committing too much thought to the wrestling aspects of your plan. The education is sound.
My 2 year plan is to retire.

You should consider retiring for longer than 2 years. I'm shooting for 30+ if I can save money fast enough to do it.

I'm in a glider job now, looking to land this thing in 100 weeks.
99 weeks of work to go, 99 weeks of work, take one down, kick it around, 98 weeks of work to go....

Forgot to mention, Stanford University is a 18min drive from Nvidia and AMD so I should be able to continue working at one of them while trying to earn my MBA.

I don't plan for the future; I only plan for the past. That way I'm never disappointed.

I was thinking of taking up professional axe throwing. I was watching the championship this weekend on ESPN, and it looks pretty easy. Perhaps TOO easy... they need to add a tougher "speed axe throwing" competition, where you throw 5 axes in 5 seconds and need to hit the bullseye on every throw.

Whiskey would also add challenge! :laughing:

Not sure if they're still in business after this past year, but there was a place here where I live that was axe-throwing with a microbrewery or brewpub.
It was pretty popular the first year or two they were open, but then COVID happened, so I don't know if it survived. Always wanted to go check it out but might've waited too long.

EDIT: Looks like they survived! Site is still up... Tapped On the Lakeshore
Looks like they're a member of the world axe throwing league heh

I want to eventually live off grid, just need to find land and a passive source of income first.

Maybe I'll build a foundry in the bush and pump out GPUs. My plan is 1nm with 99% wafer yield success by 2030. Go big or go home!

I want to move to Indianapolis, but a shed, and join Cheez's moped biker gang (and invest in silver and gold for the upcoming worldwide civilization collapse).

😁 I ride my bicycle past that place regularly. Yeah they are still open. My future plans (After Covid) are to stop there for a drink.

Keep climbing the corporate ladder, stepping on the heads of the peons to get there.
Continue amassing a small fortune in wine
Continue building out my side business and sell it
Buy a bigger house, rent out current house
Try to get out of the daily corporate grind (unless I'm a VP or something) and just start a business where I can build things

Win the lottery, take the few hundred million $ and buy an island, buy a 100 ft yacht, build a mansion on the island which should take a few years, sail around the world for those few years and finally sink that yacht in the inlet of my island so I can live my remaining years there once the mansion is complete. Or, Walmart greeter doesn't sound bad.
