In all seriousness (I never do serious :pac:) I'd be finished college (because any course I wanna do are 4 years) and I dunno about doing a postgrad/masters, etc, because I'm even unsure about what course to do yet, like. I'm kinda stuck between Business/Social Work/Lots of other stuff and it's severely confusing 'cos like Sixth Years halfways done already and all.
But yeah By like 25/26 I'd like to have a job, then build a house (Like Aoibheann I wanna have it built myself so I can chose everything in it. I 
houses!) I want it to be brown stoned on the outside with like 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a dining room and 4 bathrooms. Then a pool outside (possibly..). Oops I forgot to mention I wanna live in America.

I'm going to be 27 by then! Which is a scarily large number, the kind that demands you to have some idea of what you're going to do with your scrap o' human consciousness. I should ideally be well on my way towards sorting my life out and/or bodily failure, but we'll see. Intimidating stuff, this Future Plans business.
If all goes well I should have my degree finished, and I'll be certified as Cork's most incapable physicist.
Physics was a compromise... I do really like it, but it's never been what I want to work at. I love drawing and designing, and I want to get so much better at it. My parents don't really see its worth or at least the likelihood of my finding a job out of it, so I agreed to get a more traditional, stable degree first. So with that out of the way, the plan for the next few years is to try and find a great art course, find some way of affording it, and to work really, really hard at improving.
Easier said than done, though. I really hope I'm not just imagining an amazing future as a means of escaping an unpleasant present, without ever acting on anything. I've got to work towards it!
As for the other stuff, I have absolutely no idea! It's still a long way off, if it is at all, and everything else is still too tentative for it to merit any serious consideration. o.o0 -
I will be 24, hmm. Will have my Arts degree in English and Maths anyway (I'll have that when I'm 20).
From then on I have nothing planned. I could go onto teaching, but it doesn't interest me one bit. Don't even know why I did an Arts degree in the first place.
Since this is all speculation, I'm going to dream a little:
- I'd like to have a well payed job, or perhaps an entrepreneur. Obviously difficult during these times, but maybe I'll come up with a simple invention that'll save everybody the pain and misery of everyday life. Though I think they already call it alcohol.
- A nice, spacious house. Nothing too dreamy like a mansion, just something comfortable. And it needs a games room. I have a well planned out room that involves a dartboard, a pool table, and a pinball machine.
Realistically, however, all I want to be is happy. So long as I have motivation to get up in the morning and do my stuff, then I will be pleased. 0 -

Some really great posts in this thread.
In five years time I’ll be 24, almost 25. I really don’t have a clue what I want to do and what my life will be like then.
I just hope wherever I am, whatever I’m doing and whoever I’m with that I’m happy.
Oh and this is going to sound really soppy but I hope you all will be too! 0 -

ill be 22. To be honest, I dont know where ill be this time next week, never miind 5 years. I would hope to have finished my college degree, be doing a masters, have a bit of cash, maybe be a little lighter. on the flip side of that, i could be working in Dubai in 5 years time, so god alone knows. 0

Hee, I'd love to! You're an inspiration, you are, living the dream and all. Plus, I've heard that LIT's a fairly class aul' place!
Though, actually, I have so little of a notion about what courses are available out there, other than hearing great things about a few colleges... hmm, I'd better do some research I suppose.0 -

Well please god I get graphic design next year and then I will be officially living my dream!
The plan is to do three years of that, do a masters in RCA in London and then get a job as a graphic designer. And maybe...set up my own company.. Dream big if your going to dream at all.:cool:0 -

Absolutely, that's a great plan and you should go for it! Running your own company would be frickin' unbelievable. 0 -

There's a Westside in Galway, you must do it.
According to the graffitti at the back of the Hanley Oaks its also the best side! :pac:
Somehow I dont think Galway has the same potential for a gritty urban crime series as Baltimore. Its been tried before....
The funniest thing is that Dominic West was considering taking the lead role in that programme!0
