Where do you hope to be exactly three years from now, on April 15-16, 2015, if you live that long?
Personally, if I do live that long, I will be 23 years old. At this age I want to have had a fair amount of experience with Islamic knowledge, enough to readily teach people about my religion regardless of their age, background, gender or other factors. I also would like to be skilled in at least one trade, such as electricity, and either engaged or married to a reliable and compassionate woman.
As for where I would like to live, I do like where I am in Canada but I aspire to move to either Makkah or Madinah in Saudi Arabia and to study there while hopefully keeping in contact with people around the world.
How about you?

In three years, I'd like to be studying English translation in a university. I've never been very good at anything else than English in school, so it's best to make a career out of it if possible.

In three years? Ha! I'd be pretty lucky.
Though I'd like to at least have my stories known, they don't have to be popular but at least out there making me some money as a side job so I can enjoy videogames more.

Up until recently I was hoping I would be preparing to move to America in three years. Right now though it's looking like four soooooooooo.
So yeah, in three years I should be finishing up my second year in a History/Humanities course. Just applied some stuff to get me into it today, in fact. Whooo

In three year i hope to be finishing my 3rd year of college or completing my first year, after transferring from my community college. Depending on which route happens my majors will be drastically different, all I know right now is that it should involve computers and hopefully art.
My relationships will hopefully be good, I would not like to be married obviously, but I'm not sure I want to even be in a serious relationship. If my current relationship ends due to college then I seriously doubt I would want to start another serious thing without being in a stable environment.
aside from college i have no plans or aspirations for my future

Hopefully I can be in or about to be in university by then. I'll be studying history and English in hopes of becoming a high school teacher.
I doubt I'll leave my city. Canada is a pretty balling place.
Regarding relationships, hell if I know.

Am I the only one here planning to get a job? Liberal Arts everywhere. I think they got the names backwards if the term BS doesn't apply to an English degree.
Anyway, I'm hoping to be studying for a degree in Programming at the Renssaeler Polytechnic Institute or SUNY Binghamton. Possible branching into game design courses, but that's a choice for later on.
(No offense meant at the top. My brother is going to be a philosophy professor, so my parents have been pushing me to get a REAL job- I mean, major in a science.)

If you think you're going to get out of college and have a job in under three years and haven't started college yet you're deluded in thinking you'll get a job in your chosen profession. That said, if you mean part-time work. Of course. I'm assuming we all plan on that. It's just not worthwhile to bring up.
A degree isn't a job. All it says is "I have been trained to do this job" not "i can do this job"
A B.S. is a bachelor of science and doesn't apply to people who are doing English, History, Art ect etc. Those are B.A.s Bachelor of Arts. Same level of qualification, just a different name and in a different area.
I'm finishing up a year of programming and games design in about two weeks. You have to have the right mind for programming. I don't and I'm regretting it now.
Also, here's a life tip that I learned: DON'T LET OTHER PEOPLE PUSH YOU INTO A COURSE YOU DON'T WANT! What YOU want to do with the rest of YOUR life not your parents or career guidance teacher's decision. Everyone was telling me to do a course in computers because "it's where all the jobs are sure" so instead of spending a year doing something that I liked, I was stuck in a course where I slowly realised that I wasn't fit for. A wasted year and a decent amount of wasted money.
A real job is whatever you want to do and feel happy doing. Don't let anyone else tell you so. Science can and is just as useful and fulfilling as philosophy.

What my joke was directed at was the chances of you getting a job in the field you're majoring in drastically decrease the further into the arts you go. Whereas if you get a degree in computer sciences, you're probably going to get a fairly good job with some hardware or software company after you graduate (I wouldn't mind a job with IBM [and have connections], but I'm aiming more for a Sony/Microsoft or perhaps even a game developer if I'm lucky). This also applies to the other sciences; there's actually a lot of job opportunities out there for physicists and chemists that actually deal with what they learn in college.
Also, I know not to let myself get forced into courses I don't want to do. In order to fill my school's idiotic requirement of four English credits (they only require three science), I'm taking two half-year electives- Creative Writing and War in Literature- rather than AP12 like everyone would be expecting. And that's because I despise analytical writing. Over-analyzing all the literary elements and vernacular of a piece takes away from the overall impression and is like taking a cute furry creature and dissecting it. [/minirant]
Oh, and the Renssaeler college I mentioned earlier? 50-70% of the graduates are employed almost immediately after graduating with an average starting salary of $74,000 or thereabout. I'm trying hard to get into there.

In regards to your question, I definitely am hoping to get a job that pays in money. I already volunteer extensively at my Islamic centre and that experience can bode well for a future in another teaching job.
Also, it doesn't take long to get an engineering certificate and a job as a minor electrician here.
