A few things to clearify I guess...

- I don't really see money/savings as an issue really, I'm pretty active in knowing where my money is, where its being used and generally how it balances out.

- I don't really see getting a job as a big issue. While its definately tougher to get a job in a crappy economy, I think there is always going to be a demand for good quality workers.

- Retirement et al... the only thing that scares me more then graduation (and one other phobia, too embarrassing to name) is retirement. I could never just sit on a beach and kick back and relax. I like to be busy and involved, and the idea of not being busy and involved scares the crap out of me.

- Life outside of career... I certainly have them. Something I sort of set in stone was this idea of pillars of life, whereas I didn't want to have to sacrifice any one aspect of my life for another. A few that I mentioned above are some of them. While I'm sure some want to go out and nail as many chicks they can, I really prefer having a relationship with a great quality girl. Sports and stuff, a goal of my has been to play pro-leagues and while I'm probably not going to be any big shot, big league player, it looks like I will get a crack at some low tier pro league. I've also really committed to rock climbing the past year, and in the next half year to year, I would love to trad climb a few famous/legendary/difficult in Colorado, California, as well as a few in the Himalayas (Nepal... I probably spelled Himalayas wrong). Material goods, I have a few in mind, I'd like to buy a BMW in the next year, I'd like to own a boat in the next few years and in the next decade (while possibly a dream, but I don't think its unreasonable) I'd like to own my own jet. Other interests, I'd like to get into white water rafting as soon as this summer, I'd like to get my pilots license in the next half decade, I'd like to go sky diving (next few months) and in the next half decade, I'd like to get into base jumping. (Is it obvious yet that I set very definite and time lined goals yet? University attitude)
