Personal Goals
Following on what Eric and Nick wrote, here are my personal goals in no particular order:
1. Graduate with my MBA—This is a real short term goal of mine, as I am on currently in my last class. But, I figured I would add it to the list.
2. Develop a tangible skill—Given that my undergraduate is in Computer Science and I will soon have a business graduate degree, I figure that my professional career for the foreseeable future will revolve around these two fields. But, I have always wanted to develop a tangible skill outside of my career to serve as a creative outlet. In the past, I have tried my hand at art (drawing, painting, etc) and woodworking. I would like to pick both of these up again and really work at crafting these interests into a skill.
3. Learn more about home improvement—I have dabbled a bit in painting, construction, and electrical. But, I wanted to improve my knowledge in all areas of home improvement. Part of the reason is because it interests me, but a secondary reason is because I am considering renting my townhouse and would really like to know the basics of construction, electrical, and plumbing to help control costs.
4. Marriage, kids, pets, etc.—As I continue to get older, I continue to want to have some more stability in my life. I do see marriage, kids, and pets in my future.
5. Travel—I would like to travel some more. I have yet to go to another country (other than across the border in Mexico). So, I think that would be a good experience. If I had to pick one place to visit, it would be England. I have always enjoyed products of their culture (music, movies, etc.), and would like to see the country in person.
So, there you go…5 goals. That is much more than I thought I had earlier in the day. Thanks for tagging me Nick.
