But seriously, if you don't even have a job right now talking about buying a bimer this year a boat a couple of years later and your own private jet in ten years is nothing short of ######ed unless you come from a wealthy family, in which case why did you start a thread looking for career advice when your big plan is to play soccer for next to nothing and buy extravagant items with money that isn't yours?

Oh oops, I guess there may be some miscommunication. I guess the thread really wasn't about career advice, and more to do with dealing with life after university and what gets (people coming out of school) out of bed in the morning, or what there is to look forward to in life after x number of years of seeing the end game as a university degree.
All the other goals and whatnot, I guess was just me thinking aloud to break up the next few years of my life into managable chunks I work towards, somewhat like university life Jiri mentioned where your goals (time/objectives) were set for you in semester chunks.
