its a wierd industry for sure, im 23 and a senior, so ACD seems like a few years away, then a few years after that CD.. Doesn't seem all that lofty?
Honestly i'd rather duck out and make type for the rest of my life.

10 years...hmm... by then I hope to have my own thriving freelance business out west somewhere, web design, sound design, or motion graphics, and have a masters so I can teach 10 years after that 10.

10 years? Christ. I do not think that far ahead. How depressing.
RIght here... Right now... struggling through adversity, taking on more than i can handle.
Living in the moment, taking right action, whatever's infront of me. No expectation. No agenda. No outcome dependence. Zen like mastery to my grave.
Right here... right now.

Still working, won't be able to retire. Hopefully I will learn to do websites by then. Oh yeah, I'll be almost 60 by then... :-(
Kill me now...

Using design for good causes instead of just selling crap to people who don't need it... but I still want to make money doing it.

probably a partner in the company i'm in right now (i'm creative director currently)
I'm 36 now, so...wow....i'll be 46, hopefully a full partner here..., my kids will be teens in highschool...and my wife and I will be most likely just enjoying ourselves...I don't have much in the way of expensive tastes, and I'm pretty ok with just simple pleasures...like reading etc...my house will be probably close to paid off by then i imagine, so ...what...traveling with the family i guess....creatively, i guess my only goal is to have done 'some' kind of tv commercial or something similar by then...that remains just about the only thing i haven't designed at this point...still want to do a simple tv or web vid ad or something....
guess thats about it...

Dream: Fingers in lots of pies (UI design research, major shareholder in a few big sites), with a big slice of a property and utilities webservice that I'm working on at the mo' with some rich folks.
Reality: Running a small studio, constantly on the verge of collapse, or being a cubicle dweller at some large firm.

In ten years i'll be 33 and hopefully living in Portland Oregon or Europe. I want to be a creative/art director somewhere and still be as excited as i get today when i create a great website.
Hopefully i'll have a hoverboard too.

Hopefully land a gig in Whistler, so I can ride my heart out. It's all I really wanna do in life anyway. Who says you need complicated goals. Live for having fun.

All my dreams will be dead by then lol, but really... I'd like to run my own small specialized print/design studio and have a 3 bedroom house with personality within the city, but near a park. About 2 kids, a good looking dorky wife, and a designer dog. Have or start a masters, and be an awesome teacher.

I see myself almost hooking up with one of my daughter's cheerleader friends. Then I see myself being propositioned by the guy next door, then after I rebuff him he shoots me in the head. pretty much like American Beauty but more handsome.

great responses to this, I feel better already. In ten years time I now see myself as still talking about this thread. It's really interesting how similar some of our expectations are for the future.

In 10 years, i tell my kids on how great QBN is, and get them to join here. but by then websites and such will be holgrams and stuff
