For my 50th post I wanted to celebrate by starting a new topic! :jumpie: (yes yes, 50 is hardly anything to be excited about compared to you people in your 3000s... haha)

Ok, in 5 years time I see myself having graduated from university with a BA Japanese Studies and working possibly (hopefully :P ) for a Japanese company.

I also see myself being fluent in Japanese :blahblah: That is a nice goal to aim for! :hehe:

How about all of you others? I can already guess who the woman Ahochaude will be married to is.. :P

In five years I shall be living in lovelessemotion's Antarctic holy land, worshipping jdorama and participating in nonstop orgies. Failing that I'll probably become a break dancing instructor.

Fair enough. If you get bored with that, though, you'll know where to go for orgies, jdorama, and break dancing lessons.

Heh. Interesting combo. Sort of a Caligula-meets-hip-hop-meets-Japan thing... :hehe:

Exactly. However, it will probably devolve quickly into sort of a me, alone -meets- extremely cold -meets- nothing involving japan other than surviving on instant ramen mixed with ketchup packets.

It's a nice dream though.

This question reminded me of a joke from comedian Paula Poundstone... "Do you know why adults ask kids what they want to be when they grow up? They're looking for idea!"

Where do I see myself in five years? Hard to say... Seeing I'm a total grown-up and have already established myself in my career of choice, there really isn't that much to change in five years. However, I'll tell you what I'd like be/have in five years:

1) Sakai Noriko gets a divorce from her husband. Later discovers me after searching the web and answering a "wink" e-mail made by me on get-a-date.com, then eventually falling in love with me for my technoweenieness. Eventually marries me, creating cute little groinks and Nori-Ps.

2) Get out of the computer engineering business and onto something more enjoyable. Maybe build Japanese anime garage kits for a living (some people get up to $150 to build a kit). Or maybe with the experience I'm getting doing captures of Jdoramas, I 'd like to go into the video production business.

3) Speak an elementary level of Japanese. I may still have a hard time having a conversation with Noriko-chan, but I have "other" ways of communicating with her. :naughty:

That's funny..But I also see it as if I were being interviewed.."So, what do you see yourself in the next five years"

Seeing myself so desperate to get a job that day I said "I'd grow bigger alongside with the firm because the firm has given me the greatest opportunity to develop myself in contribution for my gratitude, I develop the firm to be bigger and more competitive."

Woo hoo..then I got the job then after that 5 yrs has past..heck..I don't care anymore! :hehe:

Amazing how fast these threads fill! :hehe:

I feel so young, the majority of you seem to already have graduated uni and have been working for several years.. :rolleyes2:

I'm just over half way through my university degree.. hmmm :sweat:

It is quite interesting that most of you seem to want to change your career path (^^), any particular reason? :crazy:
